  • About time, things need to change in order for all to communicate and respect each other, police and civilian. Its not us against them, its we the people, and last time I checked we are all human beings and people. Besides the personal rights mentioned or recognized in the Government code, every person has, subject to the qualifications and restrictions provided by law, the right of protection from bodily restraint or harm, from personal insult, from defamation, and from injury to his personal relations. Lets keep a close eye on the wonderful reforms that the new man in charge will lay out. Best of luck.
