If I used those arguments at work, I would be told ‘well, you took the job. You knew what you were getting into.’
On a side note, there should be more attention is paid to these cases were there is such high levels of violence, uncontrolled use of force, and killing. Citizens should be in the business of this oversight.
NO ONE truly knows what they are getting into when they get into police work. NO ONE. I didn’t, and none of my colleagues did. This is why most cops with ten or more years on don’t recommend people get into police work.
If I could stand outside a police academy and tell the new kids to run away, I would.
