"We're sitting ducks," he said. "We're in these uniforms, brightly colored cars and there's nothing we can do. And the vast majority supports this loud vocal minority."
I'll tell ya what; I've been in similar situations in the military--with locals hating the US military. And you really cannot hide the fact that you were in the military (haircuts, age, etc.). I've been attacked simply for being a serviceman walking about minding my own business. And I lived off base so I did not have a choice of just staying on base. Nor a choice of saying "hey boss, I'm giving you my two weeks notice". It did not affect my behavior at all really .. I was young and invincible !
But it appears as if folks are deciding not to be cops anymore for what ever reason. What ever job instead that they take, its likely to have a high occupational death rate than being a cop. So a few "assassinations" (or whatever you want to call them) would not change my decision but people can make up their own minds.
If the cop who said the quote above really believes what he said and he stays a cop? Then that's goofy IMO.
But this guy clearly has a us v. them mentality that is not based on reality.
