"sort of" contradicts???
I was just trying to point out the street cop's lose/lose situation mandated upon him by political policy makers and community "organizers."
They demand law enforcement. But not TOO MUCH law enforcement.
They complain about neglect, and then complain about attention.
They point to isolated incidents (when compared against the literally hundreds of thousands of police/citizen contacts that occur everyday) in which the street cop makes a mistake or a bad decision and then they are outraged and immediately demand the officer's blood. Due Process, comrades, is not for the wretched policeman.
I will say this and then probably shut up on this thread:
Serving a search warrant is a completely different animal than simply rolling out into traffic for another patrol shift.
When that Officer gathered up his Kevlar Helmet, body armor, comm gear and other equipment, just prior to leaving the station on his way to serve that search warrant, it is very likely that he paused, just before he closed the door to his locker.
Looking back at him, inside that locker, was a picture of his wife and his little girl.
I'd be willing to bet that he took an extra second or two before slamming that locker door closed.
Cold Blooded Murderer??? or just a Husband/Dad trying to do a job to the best of his ability?
You tell me...
