JoeBob, the cops are in the same shoes as everyone else. If they stand against the mob they are prosecuted, imprisoned and bankrupted. You have such a personal hard on against cops and are throwing some many stones at them that you have built a wall too high to see any reality on the other side.
No, they are not in the same shoes as everyone else. They have the option of quitting, which is exactly what the honorable ones should do. There is no draft for cops.
And if they ignore the mob, they could easily ignore those who defend themselves against it. But, once again, over and over and over they don’t.
