It’s a low paying high risk profession. You get to carry a badge, gun and radio. Your bros in blue got your back. Some return military, not necessarily civilian law training. Lots of diversity hiring, some just hired to keep the numbers up so next year’s budget will be kept.

I find it understandable, as sad as it is. It’s what we have, and I’m still with the thin blue line. They put their lives on the line every day, the good ones, and the less so.
FakeNewsMSM will cheer them on.
NYT write as glowingly as possible about the Molotov lawyers, but misses an opportunity, for once, to mention Obama when writing about Salmah Rizvi, who was in Defence and State Dept under his Administration!

A portrait of Mr. Mattis and Ms. Rahman was assembled from interviews with more than three dozen of their friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbors and former professors...
Still, in a video interview with Loudlabs News NYC, first reported by The New York Post, less than an hour before the attack, Ms. Rahman said it was understandable for people to be in the streets and enraged about police brutality.
“This has got to stop, and the only way they hear, the only way they hear us is through violence, through the means that they use,” she said.
She suggested that the destruction of police property was appropriate...
Salmah Rizvi, who was also at the May 29 Zoom talk with Ms. Rahman, said nothing seemed unusual about Ms. Rahman’s recent behavior.
