Public Sentiment Toward Police
Public sentiment towards the police has significantly changed over the decades, as discussed by a former homicide detective. Unlike earlier times when police could walk the streets without scrutiny, today, civilians frequently record interactions with law enforcement, leading to a more contentious relationship. The increased visibility of police actions, often shared on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, has shaped public opinions, both positive and negative. This evolving dynamic highlights a widespread frustration regarding police handling of various societal issues, including homelessness and drug enforcement.
