Disintegration is the last thing that needs to be seen happen to a police department. High level police such as SWAT team members resigning, can both, leave dangerous openings for criminality to take advantage of the situation, and can hurt the emotional cohesion of the entire community.
Florida has a case that has some complexity, as the recent racial equality riots, and others, such as Black Lives Matter, evoked reflections on situations involving use of force from the past, such as a 2014 shooting of an unarmed man in a raid, a suspect who had a history of drug peddling.
$425,000 was paid out. Reference the H. Bowe Jr. case, shooting in 2014.
Hallandale Beach SWAT team members, the reported count of ten of them, resignation situation. In the news now.
Floyd Gray incident of alleged force was within recent months, 2020, Minneapolis.
When Freddie Gray died, referring to incident in Baltimore April of 2015, and the rioting that occurred afterward, it was exposed he was sighted multiple times of having caught the eye of police the result of behaviors in previous intermittents.
Atlanta, captured on video as though a movie was being filmed, last Friday night, 27 year old male Rayshard Brooks, was shot twice in the back area-- after, taking a weapon from a police officer, resisting arrest, and took off running. Police officer fired, and accompanying ramifications. Death ruled a homicide, this soon after??
Homicide defined, '..deliberate and unlawful killing..'.
A time-out is needed here. Look carefully at this situation, and the numerous studies of teachings of police work. Number one, when a person has a weapon, and outright disobeys the orders of police, such as to stop running or stop driving, that suspect is considered a danger to others, because, in the realm of possibilities, racial profile aside, age aside, male or female aside, criminal history or lack of, the fleeing suspect is determined to be potentially dangerous to anyone in the surrounding area and community. It is asked, what if the suspect turned and attacked police, another police on the route ahead, attacked an elderly person, or carjacked a vehicle and crashed it, injuring or fatally wounding another driver while intoxicated and so forth?,- which either has or similar events have happened in other incidents.
The pressure is on for police and related officials to be as pacifying as possible given the rioting. Protesting about rioting was already taking place, and peace is definitely needed. Fires were set, such as the food chain where the event emerged from. Albeit, because of the sense of the need to be amenable to the demands of rioters, tried and tested police procedure is being moved away from, and compounding that, there are reductions in numbers of police officers serving.
There were times where an entire town only had one or two police officers. That is all they needed. The point is, that every individual officer counts big. When being trained, fleeing police scenarios might get rehearsed for brevity words, over and over, and the response might have been to shoot to subdue and nothing more.
Had the suspect been shot, 20 times, or some excessive number, then the issue of excessive force moves into the limelight with more speed. This incident requires an investigation, blind to raciality. For example, what would have happened if the suspect was another ethnicity, or outward appearance, would the results have been different or the same?
Thus far, all abovementioned incidents involved African American males, young to middle aged.
Lawrence, Kansas was the sight of a police chase, altercation, and shooting of a suspect this afternoon.
Baltimore City police funding changes in different aspects underway, or recent to today.
Identifying the crux of a challenge in a context of perceived racial injustices, while demographics are in a state of change, is ongoing in a number of regions.
Changes are being made, in different ways, to police units around the US as we speak.
In the same breath, yet another law enforcement agent has succumbed to a shooting.
In a hail of gunfire, an injury to an officer, article here: https://kvia.com/news/crime/2020/06/15/el-paso-police-officer-shot-wounded-responding-to-call/
Baltimore City police officer shot in torso, injured, in the early morning hours of last Sunday, yesterday, overlap from Saturday night festivities in a parking lot gathering.
Florida Fish and Wildlife officer, Julian Keen, was shot when contending with a hit-and-run situation, this past weekend. Hendry County, Fort Myers to the west of it, West Palm Beach to the east of it. Article here: https://weartv.com/news/local/florida-fish-and-wildlife-officer-shot-and-killed-overnight
Same state as resignations over in Hallandale Beach.
Comments: (The officer) ostensibly may be described as African American, or partially, young middle-age, at or near 30 years old.
Will there be mass congregation in the streets by thousands of young African Americans, calling for their own kind to refrain from using guns and taking aim at police officers? A question that most of us already know the unfortunate answer to. It is highly unlikely, and unlikely that the same kind of numbers that have engaged in rioting, will show in support of funeral or recognition. You never know. If minimal amount of respect occurs that it makes the radar screen of the news, it will be good to see, yet, will believe it, when it is seen.
What is right. What is the right balance. ?. Uphold that light, is what is called for now.
