...is well documented, Gene . You can hardly blame people of color if they fear and loathe OFFICER FRIENDLY. Ron in Cranston
ReplyDelete“Old Time D.C.,” a nostalgia-filled Facebook page, recently stirred a distant memory that struck a chord, given current events.
“Who remembers MPD’s Officer Friendly?” one poster asked last April, referring to the program's run in Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department. More than 250 replies erupted.
“I do,” one person wrote. “He warned us to be Safe Street Walkers and to look out for Stranger Danger.”
“Officer Friendly would use an easel to draw good lessons like, ‘Look both ways, live more days,’” another participant wrote.
“Officer Friendly should’ve never left the schools,” wrote another.
