Well said. Also I can imagine that an officer who has had his leadership scold him for arrests of genuine criminals while encouraging the harassment of innocent citizens. (See NY DOT officers who have reported previously deported criminals to ICE only to get suspended. While being encouraged to write big tickets to Americans for the most trivial things they can find.) Job opportunity to actively help the country and get paid for it!

I'd like to hear your opinion on the DJ Danville deal in Buffalo.

"When the profession needed its leaders, they watched as they chose self-preservation over doing the right thing." They can't have it both ways. Thank you travis for accurately summarizing one of the greatest failures this profession has had to endure.

Another great job. I love what you said about not worrying about what pledge they signed at IACP!
