Police Organizations: Police and Terrence Cunningham

police organizations: For many, it was just right, according to Metro News. The president of one of the largest police organizations in the United States on Monday apologized for historical mistreatment of minorities, calling it a "dark side of our shared history" that must be acknowledged and overcome. For others, it didn't go far enough. Terrence Cunningham, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, said at the group annual conference that police have historically been a face of oppression, enforcing laws that ensured legalized discrimination and denial of basic rights. Cunningham said today officers are not to blame for past injustices. He was not more specific. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
