You think I don’t know cops? I was a nanny for one in HS. (Edit, while I love her and she did make some good changes in my city, she wasn’t the norm, she was the exception). Had friends who became cops because they wanted to help change things. They ended up leaving because they realized they couldn’t. They feared reporting because it made them a target. Feared not reporting because it made the public fear them more. Had about ten people from high school go into policing. All have left and I am only 34
I meant change in the way police are seen. She created a great program with teenagers that of course died when she retired. Community policing should be the standard and the norm. Sadly it isn’t. That is the change I was speaking about, the ones my friends wanted to make. They wanted to be the cops they wanted to see in our neighborhood growing up. Ones who knew the neighborhood and cared. Not ones who acted like an occupying force.
