Not excuses, just explanations:
1) One of his own has been tried and found guilty in the media, the mob, and DOJ.
2) NBLP and others have been publishing hit lists with LEO’s home addresses.
3) 12 hour shifts take a toll.
And everything on tape.
I’d get sick of ‘hands up, don’t shoot’ hour after hour, days on end. But I lack the patience to be the police and don’t want to risk my life daily. Props to those who can keep it together and do that gig.
