This is a brief window I believe into a cop's world, and why they react and think the way they do. They are always on edge. They want to go home alive. They know the stats that are in this link.  This is why some cops prematurely fire on a suspect.

Yep. The recent cop shootingi in NY will strengthen those thoughts/ actions. Hair trigger reactions due to fear for their own safety, yet knowing they're under the microscope. Tough job. Sadly, as in much of society, a few bad ones make the news and then the majority are judged.


They are so looked down upon by some that they get orders to stand down during a riot, looting and destruction. How's that for moral? a

Chalk one up for mob rule.
