The world is not always a safe place and bad people sometimes do bad things! When I hear of officers being shot it saddens my heart. We keep going back to the whole gun violence and how some feel that the gun is the way to solve problems. Our police are in the streets trying to help people and should not be put in harm's way. No matter what one's personal leanings are on larger issues, its not acceptable to use guns to harm others. We want a safe society. Criminal violence is dark and it should be thwarted.
Enhancing policing also means increasing tactics research and training methods to ensure coverage and protection during dangerous close quarter incidents where lots of blind corners are present. At the same time, it offers a chance to think about all other ways in which we can connect communities and policing toward the very same positive goals and ends. Growing violence is an increasing concern for everyone involved.
I'm a big supporter of police, civil rights, constructive conversations and problem resolution. We can solve this problem but its going to take more than ideological rigidity. Police are all part of our American family and when police become targets of criminal behaviors the very best thing we can do is enhance them across different spectrums to ensure they are protected and public stake holders support their efforts (This isn't legitimate protest...this is criminal behavior! They were trying to protect a woman and a baby! 😠).
We pray for those who are injured in this senseless violence. I'm angry when I see this disease in our communities grow! Let's enhance our police, lets fix our problems, and let's get our family back at the table for the best interest of everyone involved. We can throw a blanket on crime, improve outcomes while still improving trust in the policing institution. Let's get smarter and let's adapt as a people. Where there is a will there is a way! 💜
