Jonathan Carp may not be an STR model, but his words shriek with the sour breath of reality. It seems, according to Carp, that the military has a better handle on how to police than the currently employed storm troopers in uniform here. I have the same feeling. With all the new whizbang gizmos available on the market today to produce a less violent situation you would think the LEO agencies would be training more and policies changed to reflect a new approach rather than what Cathy Lanier purports “these officers did exactly what they were supposed to do.”
I believe these actions to be nothing more than a forecast of the future of this nation.
