Dont Make Me Call My Best Friend On You Shirt
In the wake of nation-wide police brutality protests in honor of George Floyd, I find this video not only tension-filled but also completely inappropriate. I have attached an LA Times article that shows police bodycam footage. I also want you to know that this footage is being shared on an international platform with thousands of views. I implore you not to stand for officers intimidating and harassing African American citizens. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-03/la-mesa-police-release-body-cam-footage-arrest-at-trolley But the Dont Make Me Call My Best Friend On You Shirt most critical part for me was the fabrication of charges. I’m using fabrication, but let’s call it what it is. LYING. Your officer lied and fabricated a charge and his colleagues allowed it. They reinforced it. That is the main point here on professional standards. A police officer who thinks it is ok to LIE is not trustworthy and should not be a police officer.
If you visit the la Mesa PD website you can get police chief Vasquez’s email freely. I linked the article and said what I watched was disturbing. I asked if it’s their department’s policy to shove suspected smokers. I said it seems highly aggressive although I admittedly know nothing about police work. I said in the footage Johnson seems extremely compliant and as if a verbal warning would’ve sufficed. I also asked if lying about being assaulted is something their department encourages officers to do. I reminded him that the whole world was watching. And that I, a 26-year-old white woman, picture myself sitting at a trolley stop and being shoved by a Don’t Make Me Call My Best Friend On You Shirt officer in that way, whether I was smoking or not. I asked him to empathize and said I’d be sharing the video. And that I hope to share an update that appropriate action had been taken, and trust in their department hinges on it.
