Remember when the media said to not blame the totality of muslims for the terrorist actions of an individual?
Depends on which group you belong to that the media will smear the reputations of one or all. If the cop belonged to a muslim
lbqtp group, was a black female transexual, then only the individual would be responsible.
I think it is awful that police in general are being smeared by one cops actions. That does not excuse the actions of the one individual. The media is public enemy #1
Law Enforcement only works with the consent of the citizens and only when the public trust exists. There does not exist sufficient quantity of Law Enforcement to battle insurrection. Besides so many Law Enforcement Professionals are ALSO Reserve and National guard anyway. So when and IF the National Guard and RESERVE forces are mobilized by the President under the insurrection act the total available forces available as civilian law enforcement is severely depleted . On a positive note many of those vacancies occur because those Law Endorsement Officers hang up their civilian law enforcement uniform and their rank in their agency does not cross over to their rank/position in the National Guard and Reserve. Interesting side note. Some very high ranking National Guard/Reserve military persons happen to be patrol officers (relatively LOW rank but make up the FRONT LINE in their full time job).
Likewise some very high ranking leadership in civilian law enforcement are (relatively speaking very low rank FRONT LINE in their part time job as a reserve or national guard soldier). Food for thought
