Your hypothetical is both gross and succeeds in missing the point entirely.
You see, I am a father, and I have been the recipient of terrible news about my child.
It was delivered by someone with the expertise to do that and the time to handle the grief and done in a very private setting.
Notably, no weapons were present. No one had extraordinary powers.
As a result, camera footage was entirely unnecessary in the first place.
It would have been much worst to have that kind of news delivered by a police officer and it’s offensive to all parties that we do that.
- freedomben 3y agoYou're contradicting yourself while calling GP's statement gross and missing of the point. You say that the scenario is not plausible, and then give your own story of how it was delivered, which seems consistent, but then you end with (emphasis added): > It would have been much worst to have that kind of news delivered by a police officer and it’s offensive to all parties that we do that. How can it be offensive if it's not what we do? Does it or does it not happen? And if it does happen, why is GP "gross" and "missing the point entirely" when what they said is a plausible scenario. If it doesn't happen, then what do you mean by "it's offensive to all parties that we do that"?
- btilly 3y agoI am glad that your terrible news was delivered well. I agree that it would be good if we stopped delivering such news via police officer. But the reality is that we DO deliver such news via police officer. And even if we stopped in this instance, we would certainly continue delivering other bad news via police officer. News like, "Your child has been arrested and is currently in jail." So we still have the problem of how to protect the privacy of civilians that the police come in contact with.
