I also grew up watching Adam-12 and Dragnet. I want cops to be heroes, and I want to respect them. The sad fact is that so many are power junkies and bullies. The constant threat of extreme violence from police creates a culture of fear that enables their control. When they get caught abusing their power, they often lie about the circumstances or simply get away with it. We, the citizens the police are employed to protect, become outraged whenever this happens but then must sit idly as they are exonerated and the story fades from public view. Remember Jim Chasse, James Jahar Perez, and Kendra James among others? By posting the flyers calling for the arrest of the officers who killed James Chasse, I wanted to challenge people to not forget, and remind the police that they are accountable to us.
