[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When good cops protect bad cops, they’re culpable. The police need to do a better job of policing themselves.

The respect problem they have was earned. [/quote]

When cops clean house, this issue will go away.[/quote]

So my DH is a good cop on a shift full of good cops. They have tons of life-saving awards between them and no internal affairs investigations. They support each other and hold each other accountable. In short, they are exactly what you want police to be. So here’s the question: they receive the same anti-police hostility as every other police officer. What else can they possibly do to please the anti-police crowd? PP says they “earned” this problem. What more can they do to earn your respect? Sincerely... I would like to know. It pains ME to see how beat up he feels, and yet he walks out the door to do more good work in spite of the hate he receives. [/quote]

It is true there are a lot of negative perceptions of LE due to cherry picked videos going around on social media and fake cable news.

But your husband also has a warped perception of reality that is impacting how he feels. The anti-police crowd are actually a very small group of people. I'm sure your husband and his coworkers are watching Fox news and taking the "defund the police" bait. If he gets out of the trenches, he will be a better man.[/quote]

My husband doesn’t watch Fox News. Ever. I can’t imagine many of his coworkers do, either. As for the anti-police crowd, it may be small but it is loud. It comes for him while he’s at work, where he is regularly scorned by local politicians. He is already a better person than I can ever be, so I’m not sure what more can be asked of him. [/quote]

I don't doubt that most of the guys on your husband's squad are good people. But the reality is that cops are compulsive complainers. I've been in law enforcement for over 20 years, and these guys cry like little babies about anything that can be construed as not being supported 100% (supervisors, the public, politicians, etc.). And I can guarantee you that a lot of his co-workers are rambling on all the time about right wing talking points they got from Fox News. I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's toxic, but it's definitely annoying. [/quote]

DP.  After this past year, they have plenty of reason to complain. 
Being pelted with fireworks, feces, urine, other unidentified liquids, and having to deal with the entitled bratty 20-somethings that have nothing better to do than to assault police officers..... they are allowed to complain.

Add to that the fact that they have been ambushed and assassinated just because they wear the uniform, I think their complaints are warranted.  [/quote]

Crowd control is part of the job, and most cops aren't getting pelted with fireworks or whatever. You are buying into the media's portrayal of a situation that isn't remotely accurate.[/quote]
