Police officers in the country continue to be under attack, but the aggressors are not criminals on the street approaching them with guns. The latest assault on police is from watchdog groups that monitor police interactions, supposedly to ensure accountability. In Chicago, they are trampling the grave of an officer killed in action, and they are doing it because she showed some decency and allowed a woman being detained to cover up her body.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability, a watchdog group for the Chicago Police Department, released a report last week recommending a three-day suspension for a police officer who turned off her body camera in the middle of police interaction. The officer was Ella French. She was killed in action during a traffic stop in August.
