Shouldn't we encourage police officers to be more like community leaders?
I read an article on ESPN today about Kareem Hunt getting pulled over:
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28577128/police-dashcam-video-browns-kareem-hunt-says-fail-drug-test
Effectively, the cop chose not to bust his chops. He was likely under the influence of marijuana, but he was only speeding and not, evidently, driving recklessly.
So, he spoke to him. It was a bit weird because there was a bit of fan-boy conversation and maybe the cop was a bit condescending. On the other hand, Mr. Hunt acknowledged that he made some bad decisions.
Should we have sympathy for rich athletes potentially putting others in harm's way? Obviously, there are limits. But, shouldn't we expect more police to behave this way?
