Omaha cop, fired for beating suspect, then raiding house of citizen who recorded him, is back on the job

I agree, and I’ve been in that situation myself. While sitting at an outdoor cafe a group of about 6 policemen sat down next to me and began to discuss (what was recent at the time) the last Obama-Romney debate. I was not shocked to hear that to a man they were all Romney supporters, but the vitriol of some of their comments frightened me a bit and I moved away from the group (otherwise, I would’ve opened my mouth and likely had it closed by their boots).
If there’s a “Tuskegee Effect” to describe how the African-American community has lost trust in healthcare providers, I guess there’s a similar effect to describe how that same community has lost trust in law enforcement. It’s called “Reality”.
