There are some Phoenix activists who believe the city’s police department has a systemic problem with police brutality.
Others believe the problems are inconsequential, and the activists are part of a larger effort to wage a war on cops.
My take? The issue is not as black and white as it seems.
Phoenix officers are not trigger-happy racists bent on targeting certain members of this community. The vast majority are exceptional individuals who joined the profession to protect and serve, and some, like my husband, have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their service.
