Of course. We all should be thankful there are people -- law enforcement included -- who will put their lives on the line to protect society.

However, as cliched as this is, with great power comes great responsibility. And there are those, especially in law enforcement, who take their power for granted and use it to harm and, in some cases, kill people.

Yes that’s great . I don’t know how I came off as suggesting they should be thugs in the prev post . We should rather have a separate org, a police watchdog that has access to the footage and actively monitors rather than give public access to officers actions and personal info. That org should also have access to offender info and police info so they can interpret each case accordingly
