Justice: Think critically of police interaction standard
As communities nationwide are reexamining law enforcement practices, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor says Americans should think critically about how they want police to interact with citizens.
Sotomayor said that what “we as a society accept in the name of justice” is an “incredibly important topic of discussion.”
And, she said, “It’s one that people should not discuss or think they need to discuss as a ‘Do I respect the police or not?’ It has nothing to do with respect for the police or not,” she said in an interview made public Thursday evening.
