Too busy to empathize

The Sun's editorial board must finally have lost its collective mind in suggesting that police should undergo some sort of "sensitivity training" to teach them how to treat people with respect ("Do Baltimore police need empathy boot camp?" May 8).

You actually suggest police should be pepper-sprayed, strip-searched, tasered and cuffed face down in a police van to give them a better understanding of how their boorish behavior affects people in the community.

Is this what things have come to? I sincerely hope that one day, one of your sanctimonious, liberal, elitist editors comes home to his 4,000-square-foot house in his gated community only to find it's been burglarized by "misguided youths."

I imagine the 911 dispatcher telling him: "I'm sorry sir, I have no units to dispatch to your house, all available officers are at Empathy Boot Camp. Perhaps you should talk to the youths nicely and see if they'll put your stuff back in your house."

One can only hope.
