How would you like a job where when you made a mistake, a big red light goes on and 18,000 people boo? That’s a quote from Jacques Plante, goalie of yore for the Montreal Canadiens.
Unfortunately, it’s like that for today’s cops, who are being scrutinized on the way they do their jobs every day. In this case, the situation is very “unfunny.”
Maybe the bar needs to be raised a little by including extra training in the “social” aspects of the job, and by rigorously enforcing disciplinary rules for those officers who do not follow the protocols they are trained to follow.
I believe the Greensburg police are doing a very good job, and I commend those who put their lives on the line every day to protect the citizens of Greensburg. Thank you!
