I have a son who is a police officer They support me in whatever I do, they don't try to dictate. I don't try to dicatate to my son about him being a cop. They support me in whatever I do. All the time you hear bad things about the cops. That's why I'm so glad about this award because people can see some good things about cops on the front pages.
Nobody likes to be arrested, so they do what they can against the cops sometimes.
It's a job like any other job, our job is stopping crime and arresting criminals. You can't like everything. That's why we have these steps that we go through in case of abuse of power. The courts decide whether there was an abuse, not the media. I'm also proud that I'm the first officer in the 100 year history of the dept.
