The issue is, what can the public reasonably expect of its police officers?
What Warshaw said, and he was answering a particular question, was this: “We’re not talking about the plumber, the schoolteacher, but a trained police officer … He is a trained police officer and should be held to the standard police officers are trained to do.”
Warshaw was in the final throes of a long cross-examination by Peter Brauti, lead lawyer for the 32-year-old officer who is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder in the July 27, 2013, streetcar shooting of Sammy Yatim.
The two men had been going round and round for more than a day, their positions basically irreconcilable. (more...)
