Where do I draw the line? You can’t have a perfect system no matter how hard you try there will always be those that are out of line and abuse their power. Maybe right now we don’t have the best process to identify which officers are stable enough to handle their responsibility, I wouldn’t be opposed to more mental health testing on officers before they are put on the street. Would that be enough to weed out all the officers that were just picked on in school or want to relive their glory days? Probably not, we will always have the human element and that will never be a totally perfect system. What good do they do for me? Whether you will admit it or not having police cars driving around and officers in uniform will deter criminals and stop crime because criminals can see that there are armed civilians who are trained and willing to intervene whenever necessary.
