hI,
It seems we have more cases of possible excessive police violence in the news again. I wonder, how, in a group of police tackling a suspect, we need to kill the suspect with, in this instance, a chokehold.? In Cleveland, a 13 yr old was shot and killed.
Are the individual police so afraid of getting hurt of killed, they have become irrational in their fear?. Or, is the police Dept training making them more fearful than they ought to be?
Of course it can be a dangerous job, but somehow, the police seem to be more violent. I had a new stove installed last week. The installers were a father and son team of hispanic background. I asked where they lived, and as I was familiar with the area we spoke about what was happening there. He said crime was bad, but the police were worse. He was afraid of the police.(son about 25 yrs old).
In Chicago there are plans to disrupt traffic on Sunday morning. I don't see much good in that.
