Every morning when I come into work, I pass a wall with row after row of bulletins where officers/deputies were killed in the line of duty this year all over this country. Every week a couple more added, a few were swat entry members. It was tragic what happened in Compton and in Houston.
I can't defend or attack what happened in Compton. There's usually more than what's in the newspaper that you will never hear about. In Houston, those officers were not swat members. But I'm told they were very good at making drug busts. All the years of good work is forgotten and now they are labeled as criminals by some. They were fired. The lynch mob public is still trying to get the officers tried and put in jail. Policies and training procedures change whenever these incidents happen.
Just as the liberals seek to take away the public's pistols, the public seeks to take away police powers. Just as the liberals don't see the good in public gunownership, the public pays little attention to anything good the police do, but jump on the chance to skewer the police at every opportunity.
I've had very few people even thank me for catching a crook who stole all their belongings or rob them. We just do our job and dodge the bad guys bullets and the public's bricks.
