It’s important to remember that we are humans as well. We (police officers) too make mistakes.

I don’t think we’re looked at as human beings. We’re looked at as people in a blue uniform who are totally different from the people we’re dealing with, and we’re not. We’re exactly the same as the people we’re dealing with. We just have a job to do that affects everybody in how we do our job.
