A friend who is a police officer had been posting supportive of reforms and not having the police respond to half the stuff they're tasked with. After this, he's posting about wanting to get out of it all.

Many police departments will need heroically steady leadership going forward. People who can sort issues out for the community as well as their own troops.

Wouldn't hurt to start giving those kinds of leaders more public attention to inspire community confidence in the police and police confidence in their leadership. 

Same for police unions.
