Of your snookums sugar pie. But thanks anyway
Sorry your community lost a police officer. That’s sad. But as another Freeper put it;
It used to be cops were there to make people feel safe. Now people have to make sure cops feel safe. And far, far too often cops are killing innocent people under circumstances that would land any other citizen in prison.
And that is absolutely unacceptable and it needs to change.

If ordinary citizens have to fear cops, then what is the point of having them?
We as a society choose to use them because we wanted to farm the work out to cheaper labor. If we are not getting out money’s worth then we should quit contracting the service.
Something happens at most people’s house in the middle of the night? They will take care of it themselves, instead of waiting for the slow to respond, less than perfect contractors to show.
An armed population never needed police. Isn’t that where we went astray? We let the government convince the public that these contractors would do a better, more complete, better informed job. Most can, some cannot.
Quit protecting the bad apples.
Oust them and perhaps the perception of the balance will improve.
