Does A Law Enforcement Oath Mean Anything Anymore?

Certainly, following lawful orders is important, but notice that there is nothing mentioned about obedience to leadership.  That’s because following orders is between the officers and their leaders.  Upholding their oath is between them and us, the American people.  We expect them to make judgements about right and wrong, and the oath is their assurance that they will do so conscientiously.

Oh CRAP! A Press Release From The Minneapolis City Council

Should the suspect decline mediation, physical restraint may be appropriate.  However, physical restraint shall only be employed under the direct supervision of a medical professional.  Upon determination that physical restraint is called for, the police shall “call time out,” and request a backup doctor be dispatched.  They may proceed with restraint only after receiving the doctor’s written authorization.
