All very good and legitimate points but are only one side of the coin in that they apply to legitimate encounters with criminals. There police tactics and practices that need to highlighted for internal correction. Like holding officers accountable for going to the wrong address and shooting homeowners and dogs, lying on search warrants, rummaging through trash and getting a MJ warrant for used tea leaves, and shit like that.
