Officers are confused about their jobs?
Really?
The police arrested in Baltimore allowed the death of a young black man. Freddy Gray wasn't shot. He wasn't a threat to police. He had a bulge in his pocket that turned out to be a small knife. He wasn't even using the knife. He was arrested with his feet bound in a contorted position and then put in a van without a seat belt. He sustained a broken neck and died.
There is confusion about that?
Don't be a cop then. If a police officer can't stand up to a peer and/or a subordinate and do the right thing, then neither police understand the law or human rights.
We'll wave as you walk away!
Quality policing is not the issue. Cops that don't care about the people they police ARE A PROBLEM. When police kill and abuse people without due restraint and people are denied due process the cops are creating their own problem.
In causing their own problem and they continue to kill as in Albuquerque, New Mexico in to double digit numbers of homeless and/or mentally ill, the cops are causing problems for the city and the tax payers. They should have their shields removed and imprisoned for the deaths they cause.
The police, the city's administration, the police administrators and a judge ARE THE PROBLEM in Ferguson, Missouri.
A badge. A job that pays six figure salaries. They are NOT qualifiers for people that can actually conduct police work.
Unions? Police unions that play word games in court and pretend their wayward members are perfect and above reproach are not needed either. Unions that recognize THE TRUTH and police that can't cut the mustard and respects human rights and THE LAW are welcome at the bargaining table.
Police officers that know their job and know their people, respect the law and human rights are badly needed in the USA. Police are valuable. They are priceless when they are great cops. But, to have a person dressed in a uniform and kill because they can while they lie about the a crime should be fired and held responsible for the deaths they caused without reason.
No one expecat police to die in the line of duty. We all know their jobs are not easy. We know their guns are important to them. We know they need protection such as body armor and bullet proof windshields. We expect the great cops to do the job they know better than anyone else. We expect them to protect their lives. But, great cops don't kill for no reason. They talk people down from a scenario that will end badly. When they kill, it is because they could not avoid it. There are police that fit that category and we as citizens value them above any expectations otherwise. But, we don't need cops that kill and cause injustice in their work and result in problems in the neighborhoods they patrol.
We don't need those cops and they need to rethink their life strategy.
The Albuquerque Police Department are looking for the person responsible for the shooting of another man. Anyone with information should contact them and bring safety to the streets of Albuquerque and justice to the person that sustained a life threatening gun shot.

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – The Albuquerque Police Department (click here) is investigating the shooting of a 26-year-old man at the intersection of San Pedro and Central Tuesday night.
They say they were called out there just before 10:00 p.m. by an anonymous caller. When they got there they found the man, whose name hasn’t been released, bleeding from a gunshot wound to the chest.
He was transported to the University of New Mexico Hospital in critical condition.
Police are asking anyone who might have information to call 242-COPS.
