Complaints against police plummet in presence of body cams, says new study
Complaints against police plummet in presence of body cams, says new study
Hello. What I found interesting is learning police officers in Washington State would feel uncomfortable if they were not wearing a body camera when performing patrol duties.
As a cop whose been falsely accused of acting unprofessional, I totally empathize with these officers. And hope body camera evidence allows officers falsely accused of misconduct to SUE the dickens out of apparent mentally ill citizens making false allegations.
I also hope police body & dash cameras help identify officers requiring further training, officers experiencing 'burn-out', as well as identifying officers apparently not well-suited to serve the public.
Keeping it REAL. When I became a cop assigned to serve *young* 'Childhood Trauma' (#ACEs) victim's Shawn Carter's and Christopher Wallace's Brooklyn, NY neighborhoods, I was totally ignorant.
I had no clue on a daily basis large numbers of my American neighbors, through no fault of their own, were forced to experience genuine concerns for their family, friends, neighbor's and co-worker's physical SAFETY, as well as emotional well being while counting the number of nearby or distant gunshots echoing throughout residential communities.
My point. While a citizen may possess the skills and aptitude to complete police academy training, they may not have the human temperament for regularly witnessing or coping with human mayhem and dysfunction many cops deal with every single working day.
Somehow I lasted nearly twelve years before experiencing ‘TOTAL BURNOUT’ when I recognized my empathy and compassion were being drained from me without being replenished.
After twelve years of riding and witnessing the mind bending emotional roller coaster ride American urban story-TRUTH-teller and President Obama’s friend Kendrick Lamar describes as a “m.A.A.d. City” Street Culture, no different from the “T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E.” Child Abuse Culture the late urban TRUTH-teller Tupac Shakur vividly describes in his popular American art and interviews, I determined I needed to place ABOVE ALL ELSE my emotional well being, as well as my physical safety.
Unfortunately, all the knowledge and experience I gained serving fellow citizens residing or working in Brooklyn’s Bedford Stuyvesant community became null and void when I requested a transfer to a less demanding, less stressful, less life-threatening work environment populated by fewer numbers of depressed, emotionally or mentally ill people engaging in SUIC!DAL/HOMIC!DAL people and community harming behaviors diminishing the Quality of Life for my peaceful, reasonably responsible American neighbors.
Sadly, not all American moms recognize that placing ABOVE ALL ELSE the emotional well-being of America’s most precious and cherished assets will most likely result with fairly or wonderfully happy children maturing into reasonably responsible teen and adult citizens respecting themselves, their peaceful or less fortunate neighbors, as well as the authority responsible for maintaining peace in all American neighborhoods.
Even more unfortunate is the fact young kids like Shawn, Kendrick Lamar, the late Christopher Wallace, the late Freddie Gray, the late Tupac Shakur, the late Michael Brown, the late Eric Garner, as well as untold numbers of abused, neglected and/or maltreated children and teens do not have the option of packing up their belongings and moving to another community when they believe their minds are being affected in ways that are not healthy for them.
Peace.
