Well I’ll go by what I know from up north to down here and in between with all the cops I know or have talked to.
Infact down here there has not been a cop which is not conservative and I;ve met nearly all the sheriffs dept and police force.
I can certainly understand why liberals, socialists and communists , as well as liberaltarians don’t like cops, After all cops enforce the law and those kooks hate laws and think they should do what ever they want.
Well allow me to speak from my experience. Close to where I live there is a neighborhood with a lot of retired NY cops and firefighters. There are a lot of current NC Wildlife and state troopers in the same area. They are NOT conservative over all. They do NOT look at their jobs as one of serving and protecting. They make fun of that notion. I don’t think they’re ever even taught that any more.
They do not appear to be overly concerned about danger - or under paid.
The cops I grew up respecting….are not the cops of today in too many cases.
