John Redican, a patrol officer with the LAPD’s Newton Division, agreed.

\”Police are being marginalized and demonized by a small segment of society with views that are magnified by the media,\” Redican said. \”This event is an attempt to mitigate that perception by showing that a majority of people understand that we are out there trying to keep the wolves away from our doors.\”
