Better late than never?

It is natural and necessary to be skeptical and vigilant about 'reforms.'

But it has to start somewhere, and it has to start now.

@Mamapolo2016 Of course. Too bad local authorities had not take steps to fix this problem on their own.
@SimplyTracie It is, but we cannot fix yesterday. Only from now on.

@Mamapolo2016 Right but why do we need an EO from the President? You’d think that Police Chiefs across the country have the common sense to act on their own.
@SimplyTracie The hard part is getting the bandwagon rolling. Once it's rolling, everybody jumps on.

@Mamapolo2016 I’m sure every State has bad cops but I’m also sure there’s many departments that had already stepped up there game. I cannot believe that there are no success stories out there. Jeez!
@SimplyTracie Oh, I think there are many. But we never talk about the good drivers on the road.

@Mamapolo2016 absolutely! All we hear about is the failures, not the successes! The doom and gloom people always make the news.
@fanuc2013 Very true. However, in this case, it isn't very helpful to say "Not all police officers are racist killers."

It's true, but one is too many.
