A product of the risk adversion in the police culture from todays defund narrative.

I can honestly understand if someone develops that aversion. When they do, it's time to move into a different profession.


When the officer was there because of the call from the funeral home employees that were shot at, you would think that a guy matching the description of the perp carrying a rifle would be engaged immediately.

But in today’s climate, if it was the wrong guy, the officer would be sued into poverty and criminally charged.

That’s why police are leaving the job
