Hi Bill:
Cops are suppose to be trained to handle situations that the lay person
can't necessarily handle.
The only job I can relate it to is an ER doc or nurse. They are under
tremendous pressure, and in some instances the adrenaline is the only
thing that keeps them going. When a patient comes in that is out of
control, they have to do their job and keep their heads about them. If
a Doc cold-cocked a patient because the patient took a swing at him or
something he would be sued from here to hell and back again. Cops are
in the same situation, they have to leave their personal feelings
regarding race, etc, and their tempers at home. They have to use their
training and do the job.
It isn't easy, but it has to be done.
