Terrence Cunningham , president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police
Cunningham called it “ really unfortunate ” that “ in a time we need to connect most with the community ,” these potential steps are “ driving a wedge between the community and the police .” “ Those [ community interactions ] are the interactions we need right now , and unfortunately that ’ s being lost ,” Cunningham said . Cunningham also gave insight into the mindset of police officers . He said officers are often responding to “ people ’ s worst day ,” and while citizens may think they are the only call that officer is responding to , the officer is really going to “ call after call after call .” The tension is “ palpable out there ,” he said , “ and this cumulative effect of stress and trauma on the officers … is something we have to deal with as a profession .”
