I worked in uniform for NY State and retired in 2003. None of us would cover for anyone who put our lives in jeopardy, and we certainly didn’t want them working with us.
That is interesting. The case of Portland and other illegals and antifa terrorist sanctuary zones indicate that cops are made to work by default for the subversion of government and the loss of cop pensions and what not. We see how now the 911 first responders are treated in congress like an embarassing Vietnam veteran “plague”....
Or should I mention the current policy in my area to make cops let the decision of filling and identifying a victim in a domestic violence complaint to feminist YWCA subversives who promote welfare queens’abuse of men and kids? Ie the state is letting a communist non profit decide for them who to sue or how to evaluate a situation...
Really, I agree, no cop will put other cops in jeopardy, but by default it is what it is in terms of how things are run. It often mean the real big dangerous game, the cop in dissociation does not even see it.
I’m on the inside too, for different basis from “working in uniform.” All the judgment calls are personal. They have some basis in law, to be sure, but discretion is an awesome power.
