First, it's sad that the pendulum swung so far the other way.

Secondly, rather than working together to sole the problem we have a group that say "you made your bed, lay in it".  

If people join the police only to go where they are completely respected vs going into the job to make the place safer perhaps they shouldn't join at all?  If the current force and the current administration and the current public can't work together that's one thing.  But it would seem from this thread that people are genuinely happy that crime is up and that no one is going to step up to help either.

I know, I know.   I'm an idealist who believes people can overcome their differences to reach agreements and make things better.  I'm a silly goose.

Be honest with yourself. Did you really think things would have turned out any differently? And don't blame the police for not wanting to work in a hostile environment. Doesn't mean they should rethink their purpose for their career. It means they ain't stupid.
