Most of us would like to think that the police persons are trustworthy and restrict their actions to within the confines of the law and they would not lie under oath! But two recent reports of lying by police bring this into doubt... police in Brooklyn lied about being assaulted by a teenager
and a case of both police and prosecutors lied about witnessing a man assaulting a police officer. It makes me wonder...
-Are police are trained to lie? And further, does their training correspond to the demands of their job?
-How often do police lie and under what circumstances - personal, professional, under oath, white lies? How does this compare to the general population?
With police misconduct high on the public radar, this is the time to discover, reflect and reform if needed.
