The Post on this thread run the gauntlet, none are bad or good, there merely opinions.
It is impossible to imagine a jury made up of the opinions expressed- they would not be able to reach a consensus, each group might even do harm to the dissenters.
We live in the USA, we can state anything that whirls through our mind without being carried off by the thought police-Thank God!
Large PD Departments are aware there are ‘bad apples,’ within their mist, but their also required to put so many ‘bodies’ on the street. Given time the ‘bad apples’ will be eased out or into a desk job where they do not deal with the public-BUT few large PD Departments have that luxury.
You can’t fire a cop because his superiors think ‘he/she is dangerous, inadequate, not suited for the job you must show cause.
The new hire brings to his/her new job all the opinions they had before becoming a police officer; no academy will change those opinions. It takes a while for these opinions to come to the attention of others.
I have no solution, I have an opinion, locked away-no amount of yammering is going to change my opinion; if I set throughout every day of the trial I would know whether my opinion was correct or incorrect-that is not possible.
Now, I will have to wait for a year, maybe longer to hear what the TV tell me, intermingled with commercials of toilet paper and other slick lies.
