You're lucky. I've gotten far nastier reps. I'm saving them in my trophy file. Welcome to the club!

Why take a risky job like that when the politicians and now police union don't support you? These are dangerous times for the officers and they were told the union would support them legally on such issues.

I get that. Many politicians have taken an anti-cop stance because they don't want to lose votes.

What they did is, A) chicken-**** cowardly, B) just so happens to be against TOS. Report 'em.

This. That “blue line” is at work again.

What is going on with Buffalo PD? This is what happened to a good cop that intervened.

They need to stick together, as do whites since they’re all currently being demonized.

Maybe they can all hold hands and walk off a cliff together.

Lots of people have been laid off. Looks like a bunch of jobs just opened up.

They were told that if they volunteered for this extremely risky job within the police force that the union would pay their legal fees if an issue arose. The first issue came up and the union back peddaled on their promise under pressure from politicians under pressure from the rioters these police have to control.



Now they don't have a riot response team. Hopefully the riots stop for the city's sake.

It is a volunteer force within the police force.

They are still cops, but there aren't cops volunteering for it at the moment.
