Something Is Going On Here. We Should Be Very Worried For Our Children.

 I didn't think I would be able to watch this video, given the subject matter, but watching how those cops got the truth out of him was fascinating. Anyone who thinks defunding the police is a good idea should be made to watch this video, preferably on a loop. People forget that the police have to deal with scumbags like this, I doubt a social worker would have been able to handle it.

Whatever those guys are getting paid, it isn't enough.

Those were not your run of the mill cops that you see most often in the police interaction videos.

I work very closely with a special group of detectives, that specialize in sexual assault. You can't put just any detective on a sexual assault case. The approach and style for each type of case, requires detectives that specialize in that area of police work. Even in my venue we have detectives that specialize further into areas of domestic violence/intimate partner violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and human trafficking.

I have been very lucky with the detectives I have worked with over the last eight years. They have been awesome. I can't say the same about road patrol.

Road patrol can really screw up a case, and they are often just not skilled enough in the process. Some are very eager to learn, and some just want their shift to be over. I have butted heads with one or two over the years, but we have had a few training classes that have helped some.

I agree that defunding is not the answer. Often the problem is lack of training, and the overlooking of inappropriate and unacceptable behaviors.

Too often they place the needs of the community on the back burner, and allow any warm body, on the job just to fill the roster.
