Police Use Of Force, Sanctity Of Life And The Preservation Of Clout

     A big city police department, more then happy to keep in place a corrupt system of clout and cronyism to ensure the politically favored and connected are in power (no matter how incompetent they might be), want to appease the public by showing how politically correct it has become. It has changed its use of force policy, incorporating the words sanctity of life. For those cops, mostly retired, that came on the job well over thirty years ago, there always was a restrictive use of force policy. Most importantly, there was the plain and simple human element of common sense. If grown men and women need to be told that there is sanctity of life by the time they are in their twenties, the age most people join police departments,  then they should not be on police departments to begin with.
