[[they have a tough and dangerous job.]]
They absolutely do-There are millions and millions of encounters every year across the nation- many of which can turn dangerous for the police in the blink of an eye-
I don’t know huckabee well, but from what i see of him- I would think he truly regrets that awful decision to release the dude- but still- if the dude was servicing 108, chances are he was a really bad dude- Wonder why mike released him?
At the time there were many detailed discussions as to why Huckabee had let him out, I can't remember all of the details. But Huckabee as a politician, probably felt it would enhance his image as a compassionate Christian and make him more popular with black people. In other words... stereotypical political pandering.
