Chief Saunders says " carding" is for the safety of the community. In my day they called it "rousting" or "intimidation tactics". "Carding" is simply a way for police to exert power over a community.....to show them who is in charge. How many people are willing to give up their personal liberties for Chief Saunders word that "carding" is for the safety of the community?
So far in his TV appearances he is addressed only the black community. He has said nothing of the corrosive nature of the existing police "culture" nor has he mentioned the police shooting of mentally disturbed members of the community. He says he wants to hear from the community about needed changes before commenting as to the above problems.
"Come on Chief Saunders"! Who the hell are you kidding? Its time to be a man and not the "token black Marshall in town"!
