Every $250 ticket you issued for a burned out license plate bulb was one more civilian who really doesn't worry if some badge heavy thug gets a face full of 9mm.
Every bad shoot where one of the Brothers In Blue got a cover from the DA and a whitewash after a month's paid vacation chipped away at that trust. Whole bunches of civilians now believe that if the JBTs are called, someone is going to get shot.
They charged a Chicago cop with FIRST DEGREE MURDER, today, for shooting some kid 16 times. The thug kept shooting AFTER the kid was on the ground, curled in a fetal position. The city paid the family $5,000,000 before they even got lawyered up. They are afraid to release the dashcam tape. The killer has been on the street 15 years. Everyone is surprised, shocked even.
Tell us again how we are supposed to wait breathlessly for you to save us.
If a speeding ticket causes you to not longer care if a cop "gets a face full of 9mm," then you're a lousy piece of shit. Sorry.

Chicago, huh. Was the "victim" an aspiring rapper and about to go to college? I don't know if you've been paying attention, but a certain demographic tends to flip out and start burning cities down when that kind of dash-cam footage is released, whether the shooting was justified or not.
You’ll most likely wait a long time, and that will be soon. There’s an increasing reluctance(and rightly so) among young men to get into the business of serving as law enforcement officers. Under the circumstances, and because of people who think like you, I sure wouldn’t want my son to follow. But don’t worry. The gap will be filled handily and quickly by the savy criminals and hardened thugs that Obama is releasing onto the streets and demanding that society embrace as upstanding citizens. Good luck. You’re going to need it. Maybe the next knife wielding “child” will be coming for you. Don’t forget that officers with guns and deadly force arrive on the scene when someone cries “help!” If you really feel as you have said, perhaps you could apply to be a neighborhood watchman and load up your pockets with lollipops and McDonalds coupons instead of a gun. I’m sure your neighborhood would be safe from any and all threats and you could “talk” even the most unruly thug into a sit down.
Meanwhile, I prefer to respect those who put their lives on the line for me and mine every day. They’re all that stands between us and the wet dreams of killers and thugs and the line is getting mighty thin. If you think our present law enforcement is too tough, just wait awhile. Not only will the force that keeps order have military equipment, they will BE the military. You won’t be allowed to have a car, or a dog; your grandmother will be “humanely” euthanized and your children will be in indoctrination facilities. That’ exactly where this nation is headed because too many people are so sure that law and order is for everyone else except them.
Your crass and obvious disregard for the lives of law enforcement in the line of duty and their “getting a face full of 9mm makes it hard for me to care much about your welfare too. A person with such a mindset has undoubtedly been on the wrong side of the law his or herself. Here’s a simple solution for you and everyone who thinks as you do. Don’t call. Stand on what you believe and handle it yourself. Then, if you survive; handle the consequences as bravely as you talk.
