Yes, I see that, Rose. Concerning.
However the whole issue of police use of force is enormously complex. They are one of the few agencies of the US Gov’t. with the authority to detain our bodies, confiscate our possessions and, if necessary, take out lives. So the performance bar must be extraordinarily high. And, generally, I would say they do an excellent job at this most difficult task (I’m not an expert–and have limited knowledge).
However, as the power is so absolute and the responsibility so high, that if the net result of all this turmoil is yet one more effort at better pay (much), better recruitment, better training…then some good may come of it.
It’s early in the morning, so my optimism hasn’t waned yet.
