The lesser of two evils? Well there’s the acknowledgment of a broken system, criminals are expected to commit crimes, the police are to do the opposite, we hold the police to a higher esteem, we pay them to enforce the laws and uphold them, not to break them and make comparisons between them and criminals to determine which “EVIL” is acceptable to us, that makes us hypocrites to say the least. A law breaking police is a criminal, even worst than the street criminal because it makes justice harder to prevail, and it undermines and corrupts our justice system making it unreliable. If you support criminality from police, how is it different from those criminals who prey on vulnerable persons and exploit them? When the police lost its credibility, it looses the public’s trust and in most case the public’s support. If we are to ignore the current state of our law enforcement agencies, the question remains “can we trust them?” We have police and correctional officers who are involved in or affiliated with gangs, and they partake in gang activities, are we to continue to ignore that conversation and continue to dwell on the notion that if we ignore it like every other social ills we have in this country....it’ll just magically go away? We didn’t give our police a license to kill at their own discretion our citizens, if that was the case, then why do we have courts and prisons if we have officers appointing themselves as judge, jury and executioner....neither of which falls in their portfolios in policing. Everyone has the rights to protect their life if their life is in danger, it’s not limited to the police, that’s to say the police’s life has more value than all others. We need good professional policing, not obey or you’re dead policing. Obviously your “the lesser of 2 evil” is an admission that the police is evil
