From the police’s perspective, police rules, protocols and procedures are there so that the need for safety and protection of police officers and the need to respect the rights of the community are both ensured. What happens when there is a clash between the supposed need for safety and protection and the right to freedom and presumption of innocence? Bill Stierle and Tom take the recent incident of racial profiling in Aurora, Colorado as an example of how tricky this question can become. Up to what point should rules and procedures be followed strictly? Does the need for safety and protection justify the clear violation of the apprehended persons’ rights? What changes can be done to train police officers to respond to these situations better? These are difficult but necessary questions to tackle as America’s police find itself once more in the spotlight.
