“TIME invited several top police officials to weigh in on the ‘lesson’ in the recent incident in South Carolina in which a police officer, who has since been charged with murder and is facing life in prison, shot an unarmed, 50-year-old man who was running away from him. All made the politically correct comments, but they still do not understand the problem. Consider Chief Flynn’s statement. his officers are ‘depressed’ because they’re ‘judged by the worst example.’ This is exactly how many citizens feel. Police officers routinely judge us ‘with the worst possible presumptions’ but then demand benefit of the doubt for their own actions.”
