So much hypocrisy going on in this City. Communities of color want the cops to protect them when it is convenient, and when they try to, they have to dot all of their "i"s and cross all of their "t"s, but no comment about the thugs that attack cops or commit crimes...

Airborne, and I mean this in the nicest way, this conversation is not about you and what tough guy thing you want to say you would do. Let's try not to do this anymore where you talk about what you would do in some dramatic heroic fantasy of yours. It's not about you.

It's a booming economy if they are not happy they can move on like every other professional does when unhappy with their profession. Just what I feel. But I also feel bad cops being fired will be better for the good cops that remain. But that's it for me. Take care and if your a cop, be safe, be well paid, and retire well, if your a good cop, you get my prayers of support
Well said

There you go. No one ever show any appreciation when the cops do their job. Is like you doing work every second at work, and the moment you take a one second break, and someone caught you with it, they be like, “oh, you slacking”.

Let the criminals run the city. Oh wait they already do. All cops are going to do is give out is fare evasion tickets.

Almost everyone, in whatever job they do, is accountable to someone - that's the truth for police officers, barbers, construction workers, bank tellers, deep sea divers. In the private sector, you're out quick for much less (an understatement). Police officers serve the public and if enough of the public is dissatisfied with the job done by a particular officer, they're not going to want them on that job anymore. To me it seems simple.
