‘The “backlash” for defending our constitutional rights was too high a price to pay, he told me’
I must be slow today.....what does he mean?
The backlash would include officers getting doxxed and then abused or worse. In other words, they’re afraid of the leftists in power and their allies - what those groups would do to any officer and their families.
I believe he means that they'd lose their jobs - at a minimum.
