When did law enforcement officers become a separate species?  Everyone wants to be treated with a modicum of respect in the workplace.  We are certainly used to the criminals not liking us, there's obvious reasons for it and, in their eyes, we're the reason they're getting arrested.  But to have common citizenry, and even worse, your own government, treat you like shit?  What person on Earth would want to work under those conditions?  Would you work at a place where you were constantly treated like shit?  Why do you think LEO's should just deal with it?


A-effing-men.


You use this argument all the time with policing, the "it's what you signed up for" line of thinking so prevalent among the far left.  No one signs up to be treated like garbage.  No amount of idealism is going to withstand years of abuse.  We already die at much earlier ages then non LEO's.  I can't tell you how many friends have retired and not lasted two years after.  If you truly want to see things improve then start with yourself and realize LEO's are human like anyone else.  They don't get to be treated like crap because "that's what they signed up for".  Did you even read the article in OP?  It explains rather well why well intentioned, and highly committed, officers would leave a situation like Seattle's.  

Hi!  You're getting this special response because you are SO wrong and have SO misstated what I said that it requires me to point it out.

Your reply didn't even come close to reflecting a single word I said.  I never called police a different species. I never said that's what they signed up for.  None of that.  

My "argument" was that it never should have gotten this bad.

My "argument" is rather than quit or get rid of the police there can be progress to make it better.

My "argument" is that police should not be treated badly AND that they should work with the local officials to make it better.

Not everyone cuts and runs when things are bad for them.  Some stay and try to make it better.  I don't blame the ones that do leave...I just expect some to stay and fight for better treatment.

I know you won't believe it or care and you'll just attack me for daring to speak on a police subject.  And that's ok.  I know it is a personal issue for you.

At least you got the response you've been begging for.  TTYL...like a year or so...lol. 

Be well and have a good day.
