If we used the same standards for hiring police as Trimet does for bus drivers, none of this would be happening. Instead, we screen out intelligence and compassion in favor of bullies and liars who no longer take the oath to serve and protect but act as militarized order-keepers and revenue-generators with quotas.
Please sign and share my petition for an overhaul of our police department hiring, training and retention standards. That will create a better work environment for good cops and a safer society for citizens. We have GOT to stop screening out intelligence and compassion and re-institute the oath to serve and protect if the divide is to be crossed. Win-Win. Let's create an environment where good cops can thrive.
