When the trust between the police and the communities they serve breaks down, everyone is at risk.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In almost all cases now the police are as much an enemy as the others.
When you have police officers who abuse citizens, you erode public confidence in law enforcement. That makes the job of good police officers unsafe.
I believe that most police are conscientious and want only to provide safety for us.
The police protect us, and we're going to protect the police.
Understand, our police officers put their lives on the line for us every single day. They've got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law.
For policemen to be honest about the fact that they may be fearful when they come into a certain situation, not understanding what's going to happen. The only way things will change and things will get better is if people are able to be honest without feeling like they're going to be offended, or they're going to offend someone else.
You cannot rely on the police, you cannot rely on the government, you cannot rely on the bank to protect you.
Police reform is working, and crime is falling.
Every day, in every city and town across the country, police officers are performing vital services that help make their communities safer.
We watch so many TV shows and movies about jaded or corrupt policemen, we forget people join the police force to do good, and they really care about that.
