"Three full-shift ride-alongs with a cop, a full day at the citizens' police academy..."

I suppose that's because Joe and Jane Citizen are just too dense to comprehend how difficult it is to be a cop, etc. That's such a tired line. Since we're talking about the importance of seeing other perspectives with such training and virtual encounters, perhaps the Union appointees should also be beaten up by the PPB and pulled over for no reason (other than having a car that looks too expensive for "their kind").

"Three full-shift ride-alongs with a cop, a full day at the citizens' police academy..."

This is pure intimidation & coercion, plan & obvious! These pigs know damn well that most people are NOT willing to undergo such measures just for the privilege of sitting on an over-sight panel. & these PIGS know good & damn well that most people don't have the time to submit to 3 full-shift ride-alongs, either! This is total bullshit & i really hope folks are calling it!

There is no law beyond do what thou wilt.
