Who polices the police? The Cochran Firm. We know that our police are so often heroes. We understand that every day they go to work they lay their lives on the line for each of us. We believe that they must make snap decisions, life or death decisions, under stress and rapidly evolving situations. Nonetheless, their power is awesome. We, as a society, delegate to the police the right to use force against us, and in some cases, the right to use lethal force against us, the citizens, the people who live, work, and enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness here.

There is a balance which must be struck between the awesome and deadly power the police are entrusted with and their need to protect and serve the community and not overreact or emotionally choose to cause harm out of proportion to the threat they have before them, in our society. The Cochran Firm, through its work, enforces that proper balance.
