Cops doing fair job...

Interesting article about Pew Research Center poll about policemen in America.

Amid continuing tensions over the police shooting of an unarmed teen in Ferguson, Mo., most Americans give relatively low marks to police departments around the country for holding officers accountable for misconduct, using the appropriate amount of force, and treating racial and ethnic groups equally.

However, most also continue to express at least a fair amount of confidence in their local police forces to avoid using excessive force and to treat blacks and whites equally, though there are large racial gaps in opinion here as well as in views of police performance nationally. Public confidence in community police in these areas has not changed substantially since 2009.

Interesting post, Logger.

I think for the most part, most LEO's do an admirable job, especially under the circumstances of the environment they work in. I mean, on a consistent basis, they are working with dregs of society.

I recently read an article from an ex-police officer that kind of confirms this recent poll:

I think you might find it interesting

Seems about right to me and speaks to the bell curve of life...
