With all this stuff going on, why on earth would anyone want to be a cop in general? You’re a big target for terrorists, people who don’t like cops in general like in this case perhaps and the pay tends to be much worst than what I hear for fire-fighters who seem to be welcomed when they come and help in a scene.
I can see for many big cities with a lot of crime, no one would even bother being a cop since it’s a crap job and you have a big bullseye on your back.
That and the constant cam monitoring, being possibly shot anytime, etc and with all this press, seems like a dead end for most folks if you get scared or freaked in the moment if some wackjob has a gun.
I don’t know the specifics of why those other 2 people got shot the other day and the cops maybe are at fault, but it seems like if you are patrolling a bad area and everyone looks belligerent and give you dirty looks, you’d probably be pretty trigger happy too.
They really need black cops in these areas to patrol the areas they live in…
