The police belongs to the people and the people belong to the police.
When we let cops talk about themselves as a separate community, then we are letting cops wall themselves off from the rest of us. We don't generally do that with any other jobs. We don't talk about the barista community or the Wal-Mart greeter community.
As liberals in charge and a media question the capabilities of police, they then limply ask why there is an anti-police atmosphere or why cops are holding back.
We are safer when communities respect the police and the police respect the communities.
Not only are police officers often taken for granted, many people are highly vocal about their dislike for cops.
I think the more we see more officers holding each other accountable, the more we will see people trust cops in this country.
People see police officers and think they're such bad people. We have some who can be some bad people. But we have some great ones out there, that are here to protect us.
Law enforcement must be guardians in our communities, not warriors against our own people.
We must not allow the police to be outgunned.
