Houston police officer Danish Hussain still remembers the chase, years later — sprinting after a robbery suspect through an apartment complex on the west side of town, in the sticky heat of summer.
As his fellow officers gulped water afterward, Hussain walked into a gas station and asked the cashier if he could stand in the freezer. The Muslim officer was fasting for the holy month of Ramadan.

Opinions without foundation
Calibre Press
Sgt. Jamie Borden (ret.), founder of Critical Incident Review and prominent national expert and lecturer on police performance and dynamics related to decision-making in force encounters, writes: "The profession of law enforcement is facing unprecedented negative scrutiny. From my perspective as a retired officer and professional in the analysis of police-involved critical incidents, the most prominent issue is the propagation of opinions without foundation. We have all read posted opinions regarding the actions of officers who are in the spotlight based on the outcome of events that have captured the media's attention. These opinions are based on the 'obviousness' or the 'salience' of certain aspects of the event.
"The concern is, very few individuals know all of the intimate details related to the event. Those that do have the knowledge and the foundation to conduct a full analysis are not the source of these inflammatory posts and arbitrary opinions."

Corrections 1
As another National Correctional Officers Week approaches, this is a great opportunity for those working in corrections to reflect on the job that they do and the value that their career provides to public safety.
It’s also an opportunity for those who don’t work in corrections to reflect on the value of an area of the criminal justice system that’s often forgotten.
