Policing changing for the better

In The Herald’s Roast and Toast page one person wrote “don’t judge till you have walked in their shoes.”

Which I did for many years and be assured there are many good cops and there are some bad cops.

Since every person now carries a smartphone, we are witnessing crimes being committed by bad cops.

Police departments routinely socalled circled the wagons, protecting their own and preventing the truth from coming out. Had the 17-year-old girl not filmed the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a bad cop, then, like in the past, the truth would never have come out and nothing would have changed.

Police are now being equipped with body cameras to keep them honest. Policing has changed for the better forever.
