A rise in crime has led many who are predisposed to hate progressive progress to place the blame on the recently enacted laws that govern police behavior. So here's a fact check.
What police can do:
- Respond to mental health calls
- Defend themselves
- Pursue fleeing suspects
- Approach and question people
What police cannot do:
- Forcefully detain people based on vague suspicions
- Start car chases over low-level crimes
- Use military equipment
- Use choke-holds or neck restraints
- Skip de-escalation efforts
