Democrats and McAuliffe Don’t Care About Of Abuse of Mentally Ill.  With the release of the Natasha McKenna video and the pathetic explanation of Sheriff Kincaid that she was trying to “help” Natasha McKenna, I wonder why in the world McAuliffe would support her. Watch the video here.

Bad things happen. It might be easier to overlook the idiocy of Ms. McKenna’s brutal treatment, if Sheriff Kincaid had not subsequebtky insisted that it was all proper and according to protocol. Police administrators ought to be a tad prudent in immediately defending the actions of their officers that result in the death of an confined prisoner.
Agreed generally, but leaders (especially leaders of men who are expected to go into harm’s way) must stand by and support their guys. I understand that leaders in that position feel the need to be seen to presume their guys are in the right. Different story, of course, when all the facts come to light.
Steve, that is true. Most of us have regretted senior officers’ reluctance to support their troops.
The Fairfax County Chief of Police seemed to me to be going a tad far when he stated a while back that one of his officers “was acting within protocol” when he shot a citizen standing in his own doorway.
It is important for leadership to support the troops. But, as you point out, not when facts come go light that do not support their actions.
