We must never forget the most vital mission Policemen have: Getting home safely at the end of the watch.

Had a cop been shot first with an officer down call the response would have been totally different.

“Had a cop been shot first with an officer down call the response would have been totally different.”

I’ve never understood this, placing a higher value on their lives than the average citizen. It’s their job to be there, it’s their job to protect.

If they do not want to do this they should not be cops. The cowardly ones should be drummed out of service much the same way Chuck Connor’s was drummed out of the Army in his TV show Branded. Kicked out with full dishonor.

The real bad cops, criminals with badges, should be treated no different than any other criminal and placed with the general population. Only have his badge embroidered on his prison uniform.
