I'd like to clarify my statement since I was deemed "complacent" about police
behavior. From listening to an intelligent, articulate officer who was not at
the scene when Mr. Saunders was shot, I can say that the squad car officers are

it's police force? Or is it about the effect of other areas of our
administration that fail to recognize what is not working in our
communities? Or is
