I don’t think that people on FR hate the police, speaking for myself, it is distrust of the police. Trust is earned, not mandated. How you conduct yourself is how you will be judged not whether or not you are in some kind of uniform.
If however you are in uniform and with a badge of authority a higher standard should be demanded and followed.
If you aren’t up to it there’s always another gov job you can find.
Growing up I knew a lot of cops. A good friends dad was a police Lt and a darn good man. I don’t remember anyone but bad people being negative about cops.
Heck I have at least 7 neighbors that are cops and only one of them will even say hi to me. The rest won’t even acknowledge you as you walk past.
