The APD is getting a lot of press and, for the most part, I've just been giving them the benefit of the doubt as each issue came up. You know, because I'm white and I live in Tarrytown...I see the police as the folks that protect me.
The APD use of excessive force is a little much, don't you think? And last night I read about the tool that was clocked going 139 miles an hour pass a funeral procession in response to a non-emergency call. So, shooting unarmed black and Hispanics, picking up hookers, and being generally above the law are making me wonder if the people that are so down on the department don't have a point.
I'm sure Grits For Breakfast has probably done an 18-part series on this and I've just missed it.
