[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If everyone hates the cops and wants them disbanded, then why do they keep calling them? It’s true what a PP said, that there are often multiple calls every minute. Why, if everyone hates the resource, do they keep utilizing it? What do you do when you have the need for a police officer, and what is your alternative solution? [/quote]

As a citizen, I want the police to protect and serve the community. I want them to be properly funded. I want them to not kill people when it is not justified. I want them to demonstrate an ability to do their jobs without unfairly harassing and beating people.

Yes, it is a hard job. I don't "hate the cops" but I do want bad/illegal behavior to be rooted out of the system. [/quote]
As a LEO, I can assure you those officers are dismissed, at least at my department and the departments I’m familiar with.

Also, the great majority of us don’t ever want to kill anyone, or even hurt anyone. In fact, that’s the very last thing we ever want to do. The legal implications, the social implications to our family and friends and our psyche are huge. I have friends who have had to rightfully kill someone while protecting others and it’s not something they’ve ever gotten over. [/quote]
I want to add, the police see horrible, nightmarish things you like to pretend don’t happen where you live. But they do. I have nightmares reliving things I have seen. I don’t, but I have colleagues who drink. We’ve all seen some shh, some people drink. I’m not saying it’s right, but I understand. But on the flip side, I know two officers who have been fired for alcohol-related issues, so it’s not true that we “protect our own”. 20 years ago, yes, I’m sure. But in 2025 with cameras everywhere? Absolutely not. Your addiction isn’t becoming my problem. [/quote]
