ALT More from O’Hara: “This incident highlights the sad reality of how the current rhetoric around policing in this city… hampers our ability to effect lawful arrests.” “To be frank, the officers however are scared. They’re scared of being prosecuted if they get into a situation where they make a mistake trying to do their job and protect the public.” “Damned if you do and damned if you don’t, and it’s got to end.” Speaking about the city council not calling him to ask for facts, before publicly criticizing him: “I thought we were on the same team. Apparently not. That’s a bad situation for the residents of the city.” “At some point somebody needs to step up and say enough is enough, we need to do our jobs. Today that person is me.” I think this one is directed at police critics, not his officers.
