Pittsburg Mayor and Police Chief undermining their Police Force

Pittsburg Mayor and Police Chief undermining their Police Force

Being a police officer is a very difficult and dangerous job even with the full support of their Mayor and Police Chief! Now it appears that the police in Pittsburg have lost that full support! This now makes this difficult job even more dangerous! What was important to police on the street that helped to keep them safe was that the citizens had to know that they were acting as agents of the city with its full support! The police had to know that if they had to use deadly force in certain situations they would not be thrown under the bus for political reasons! I think the powers that be in Pittsburg have made their police force targets for attack! Also, will this attitude make an officer hesitate to use deadly force to save him and most importantly innocent citizens! Will the police now hesitate to respond to calls from high crime areas knowing that they may have to interact with a minority suspect who may think he or she has more support from the Mayor and Chief then the officer!? These actions by the mayor and chief may have placated a few radicals but I think it has made Pittsburg a much more dangerous place for all its citizens! As far as the particular incident that has caused all of this in the first place ….. Kicking a car from park into drive is literally impossible, try it! Do the citizens of Pittsburg really think their police force is a bunch of marauding murdering racist out to shoot and kill black man!? When police officers are shot thousands of police from around the country attend their funerals without looting and burning down the city! Just a thought!
