That’s great! It’s nice to see a council member acknowledge good work by county employees.

Any from the public safety committee yet?[/quote]
Based on the anonymous posts on DCUM, one would believe that all police officers are emotionally needy and in constant need of external validation and affirmation.[/quote]

I’m a really, really good teacher. If I had to attend every faculty meeting and listen to how bad I am, I’d probably get upset. If I had restriction after restriction placed on me because my admin assumed I’m bad, I’d probably get upset.

You think “emotionally needy.” I think “abused.” I suppose it’s all a matter of perspective. [/quote]

Which meetings are cops attending where they are being told how bad they are? I watch the Council meetings and critical comments of police are few and far between, much more often councilmembers thank police for the work they do (yes I actually watch them, unlike you apparently), not to mention that they are in no way analogous to faculty meetings. If you're saying bad press about police harassing, abusing and posting about killing Black people is bad for morale, then I agree but that's on the police.[/quote]

My comparison stands. If people who are supposed to be in either a supervisory or support role (the school admin or the council) default to “you are bad,” then the hard-working employee (teacher or police officer) is going to feel discouraged. And where do these MCPD criticisms come from? Please just search “police” on either Mink or Jawando’s social media. You can’t paint those councilmembers as anything other than vehemently anti-police, and let’s not forget the anti-police voices in the former council. I’ve had anti-teacher administrators before. It’s dreadful working for people you know don’t support you, and won’t support you.

I was thrilled to see the positive post above from Natali Fani-Gonzalez. It didn’t take long for it to become “copaganda,” however, by a member of the Task Force. Even good work from our police must be criticized and condemned, it seems. [/quote]

Surely police officers IRL aren't the snowflakes these posts are making them sound like?

I mean, I'm a fed, and I'm not obsessively monitoring the social media of anti-government-employee members of Congress. I just do the job I'm paid to do.[/quote]

You are comparing a highly educated cohort to a less educated cohort.

Cops fall into 3 education categories… 2 year Cc, 4 years and masters/lawyers.

You also have city/suburbs vs small town background.

I’d say 1/2 the cops are 2A trumpers, then you have about 25% who are highly educated trying to work with the council for change. The other 25% don’t care and just want to get home safely.

It only takes a few to makes things hard.

Also old trumpet cops should not be teaching new cops.[/quote]
