In fact, it is my anecdotal opinion that very, very few instances have anything to do with race/ethnicity at all (..in the grand scheme of things).
P.S. Everybody is a rookie at some point and every rookie makes mistakes. It's par for the course.

Thanks for the response. I get the rookie comment but some of these guys do NOT belong on the streets yet. Poor training IMO. |
You're right! Some people are not fit for street duty or even fit for this line of work, but I suppose you could say that about people in every profession. Those who aren't fit usually quit or are weeded out due to behavior and/or a pattern of poor decision making. Even somebody like me, who is pretty dialed in overall, has done days off ……albeit over nonsense, but days off nonetheless.
