[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband, one of those terrible cops we all must hate, risked his life to save a 16-year-old girl a few years ago. I understood why he put himself in so much danger, even though I selfishly wanted him to come home that night to our own children. You can disparage police all you want. There are many who will still stand between you and harm. I have first-hand knowledge of this. [/quote]

No one thinks all police are bad. For instance the Border Control law enforcement team which IGNORED the Uvalde Chief of Police's orders and broke down the door after 90 minutes are heroes. [/quote]

Yes, there are plenty of people who think all police are bad, including some local politicians. My husband gets spit on for getting out of his car these days. He can perform his job admirably, and it will never matter to some. The “good guy” that he is, he’ll just take it. As his wife, I get angry. [/quote]

Boo hoo. Cry me an f ing river. I don’t care about your hurt feelings. I care about those parents who won’t ever see their kids again. How dare you make this about yourself. [/quote]

That’s not remotely what I did, and I think you know that. I simply defended a group that has been repeatedly disparaged, including on this thread. Pointing out that police may actually be allies is not centering this on myself. [/quote]

Go away, this thread is not for you. I could care less how angry you get because people don't treat your husband poorly. WAHHHH poor you. I don't have any more f's to give after thinking non stop about these poor kids and their families for the last few days. So many of these conversations on what's wrong with policing get hijacked but butt hurt police wives and I am not here for it. You suck, and your husband isn't a "hero" who should be worshipped just because he is a cop. [/quote]

Go away! This thread is for hysterical venting and uninformed comments[/quote]

Do you know the history of the word hysterical? Why would you use that word to describe parents concerned for their children’s safety and the loss of life in school shootings, as well as the police response to this and various other situations? Do you feel like the police acted appropriately in Uvalde? Do you feel like when people are analyzing how the adults in charge left children to die, and in one case caused the death of a child according to a boy in the classroom, this is the appropriate venue to start talking about how adults who chose to marry police officers have fears too? Maybe, if you feel like you’re not getting enough support for your feelings about the police officers you love and care for, you shouldn’t try to get it on a thread whose topic is police officers not rescuing children because they might get shot too. Maybe a better idea is to start a thread sharing your experiences with good guys with guns. Or do an AMA about being married to a cop. Or talk to spouses of police officers. But this particular thread might not be helpful for you. We’re still processing 21 people being massacred inside a school, the survivors’ accounts, and how scary it is to live in a world where 18yos have easy access to guns too scary for the police to fight back against, as well as the idea that the police actually make some situations worse instead of better. That last one has been building up for a while, but it sort of exploded recently when we heard children talking about calling 911 to say they can hear the police in the next room, why aren’t they rescuing us?
