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!
