No one is justifying the horror that took place with Tyre Nicholas at the hands of several Police Officers in Memphis, Tennessee. The galley of outstanding Officers throughout our nation are still in shock, and embarrassed at the bad actions of a few. They know, like the majority of Americans know, what unfolded is not a true reflection on the heart and quality of service of Law Enforcement in America.
Any wise, critical-thinking citizen should be asking deeper questions beyond the fervor and click-bait headlines. We need to step back and ask ourselves, “This is so out of character of law enforcement: what happened? How did this scenario manifest and develop? What can we learn from it as citizens who appreciate the service of Law Enforcement?” As a civilian who is not shy about her support of police, I am 100 miles away from truly understanding the day to day job of Law Enforcement Officers. Personally, I believe that 98.99% of Officers are outstanding civic servants and community members. They - more than anyone else - want the ill-behaved officers off the job.
