For untold decades various ethnic, racial and religious groups have been subjected to stereotyping. Blacks and Latinos as criminals, Muslims as terrorists, Asians as underhanded — the list goes on and on.
In today’s world, another group has been added to the list: law enforcement.
The unjust and despicable acts of so very few are no justification to condemn an entire group.
Throughout my 85 years, I’ve known a number of police officers. In no instance have I viewed any of them with suspicion or fear. An honest, law-abiding citizen who is not disrespectful or belligerent has nothing to fear.
