Officer Corey Pitts deserves your salute

Theirs is one the most difficult jobs. But police officers must be held to the highest standards. Where officers fall short, they must be held to account.

Yet, as is most of the time in America, we should salute police officers when serve well under immense pressure. I’ve previously written on such officers, but today I want to draw your attention to a very different kind of cop — officer Corey Pitts of the San Diego Police Department. Because we’ve just received video evidence of what happened on August 8, 2018 when Pitts was confronted with a lethal threat.
