This mindset of go home at the end of shift at all costs is costing innocent people's and dog's lives. Question to LEOs: what's your “collateral damage” — that is, body count — for being wrong and killing innocents? Yeah, I know, at least you go home after your shift after committing murder. The cops have pitched the Rule of Law for the Law of the Jungle. That is not VERY comforting.
**....their policy that the officers make it home safely....**
Safely from what? A LEO job is nor longer considered a *dangerous* job in the USA.
Cops are jacked up on steroids, with the knowledge they are immune from bad behavior and glowing in their own self-importance.

The truth as I see it is that this is intimidation to keep the peons in line. Payback is going to be a mother......
