Amazing people always only see what they want to see, if that was a white man being led down the road no one would have photographed it, it is not sensational reporting!
World has gone crazy, they wish to be safe, however everyone has to be Politically Correct all the time!
Teachers, Paramedics, Firemen, Police are expected to carry out their duties, even a gunpoint, being high-jacked, robbed on call-outs, yes it is a questionable world we live in.
Good point Joan, the situation in the south of Africa puts the lives of the paramedics, etc at risk of hijack and robbery every time they go into a ghetto area. The army have now been deployed to patrol the streets of the Cape Town gang-infested suburbs, which is not ideal. But it was the last hope, where locals are being shot and killed daily in gang violence.
Crime and carnage, both I never dreamed I would see in this country 25 years ago!
Howdy joanstewart! Great points you made. I know some local officers from our small town and they have a very tough job and much of it is because of bad publicity even though they work their tails off to help keep our community safe.
Yes, from what I understand the Galveston police have been operating this way forever and this was just a routine thing but the optics are terrible because the man was black, hopefully they treat everyone the same. It should give the critics some satisfaction that the policy is changed now. Thanks so much for commenting!
