Hmmm, from the same place that now wants to outlaw "pointed" knives, and bar glasses. They've come a long way since his time...
Sir Robert Peel is recognized as one of the founders of modern policing and from what I understand, many of his concepts are still in use today.
Correct. He had novel ideas such as community oriented policing, and having some measure of professionalism. He had a watch and ward (night and day) shift, and organized things past the angry farmer lynch mob.

Re: Carrollton PD Sued for Civil Right Violations

The first part I can understand. Someone getting out of a vehicle during a contact and stating they have a weapon is a HUGE issue. The officer told him to get back in the vehicle, then tried to push him back in, and after those failed he executed a straight arm bar takedown as the subject approached him. I don't think this part will get them in trouble.

The second part of the story, the part w/o video is where he has a very strong case - it just may be tough to prove. If there was in fact malicious conduct at the station I hope it is prosecuted. I'll be watching this one.
