He engaged in conduct that continued the legacy of the blue wall of silence which in police departments across the country covers up, excuses and allows for bad behavior by law enforcement. But rather than hail her decision as bold and courageous some groups

Takar Smith was in the middle of a mental episode when his wife called the non emergency line for help. She was not looking for law enforcement intervention. She most certainly was not looking for her husband to be murdered. Unfortunately and tragically, both of those things took place. Adding insult to injury – the Police Protective League released a
