Firstly, I am pro law enforcement. This means the good cops. The bad cops just ruin every step forward the good cops make. I know we are all human and people make mistakes. This got out of hand really fast as it appeared Comella's ego was in play and might have gotten bruised. With her being a minority, maybe she may feel like it is harder for her to gain respect but this is not the correct way to achieve it. I know all about the blue line but the other officers present condoning her behavior is unacceptable. The Chief of Police here is completely In the wrong. The citizens of Cranston should never stand for such egregious behavior from the Chief.
Listen should 516 lose her job, maybe not. But there should absolutely be accountability here. She should make a public apology as well as a written apology to the man that she deprived of his rights. That's the minimum. The chief should resign as he just condones reprehensible behavior by praising it. How are the officers under his command supposed to learn and grow? These steps would be a move in the right direction in order to start the process of regaining the trust of the people, the citizens.

But the best way for this jurisdiction to learn is through a lawsuit because they will absolutely lose this case when it goes beyond the local court.
