Being shit on by the left for the past nine months and then being "betrayed" by the right in this instance, it's a tough pill to swallow. I think at the end of the day we're all just looking for people to understand that this is a tough job that we won't always get 100% correct. Understanding that, and allowing for it, is all we really ask for. There are people who suck at their job in every single profession, it just bothers me that the media and other detractors have been allowed to paint our entire profession with that brush.
I agree with literally everything you said here. Kudos to you both.
I'm confused. What are you asking us to understand and allow? Busting in and killing someone sleeping in their bed? Kneeling on someone's neck until they are dead? LEOs from across the country participating in the assault and ransacking of our capital? Or the passive reaction by some of those tasked with protecting our capital when it was under assault and our elected officials lives were in danger?
I'm in a union. And it annoys me when they protect shitbags for doing shitbag things. But my job is not to protect and serve. And so the consequences of a shitbag keeping their job in my line isn't really a big deal for anyone other than people like me who have to do their work.
LEO unions should start using some common sense. Stop protecting the shitbags. Weed out the bad ones. And fix the culture. Because on Jan 6 21 it was proven to the world how broke it is. Protecting, enabling, and coddling shitbag LEOs has become a problem for all of us.
