I hope the cops continue their lousy track record and are wrong on that one.
I guess you mean "all police." I don't think that's a valid generalization. The police department in D.C., for example, is rife with political correctness and advancement due to group identity. So the Levy case, IMO, suffered from the incompetence bred from that.
Now, I don't know anything about the SLC Police Department, but I think it fair to suggest they be judged on their OWN merits, and not based on what a police department 800, or 1,800 miles away might have done.
That's my point.
