I may be the only Board member who trained as a police officer. After I got out of the Army and returned to Texas I eventually went to work for the City of Dallas police. I was recruited into communications, but had to be certified eventually. After about 9 months of a grueling schedule of finishing my degree, working in communications, and my police training I left the police training. Why? I did not like the environment replete with racism, racial and ethnic prejudice, and mysogynists. That was then; this is now. Are there still an array of police who shouldn't be wearing a badge? Yes, there are. However, there are more of them who should be. The training is better, but training cannot always overcome disposition. Don't forget that police don't drop from heaven; they are just flesh and bone.
