To All,
I just sat down to a late dinner and caught the 2nd half of this program.
FRONTLINE: Law & Disorder - An on-air and online investigation into questionable shootings by the New Orleans Police Department in the wake of Katrina | PBS
I don't have time to watch it right now but intend to later on.
What do you think?
I am gravely concerned that those we trust could act in such a reprehensible manner.
What bothers me a bit more is that it appears that other police officers will support bad police officers. I am not so much talking after the fact, but the actual cover up of killings and the brutal treatment of a mentally ill man after being shot.
I know there are times when I am a cynic, but I feel that in this case I am naive. I cannot wrap my mind around the idea that those entrusted to "serve and protect" can stoop so low as to "shoot and kick" or "shoot and burn."
On a tangent thought this is why I believe 100% in absolute transparency in all forms of government! Without oversight of EVERYONE it allows ANYONE with authority to become corrupt and abuse power. It is the reason I support the release of all documents and information after a relatively short period of time.
Your thoughts?
Regards,
Doug
