I can't say I blame them. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I couldn't be a cop. I'd get fired for letting my emotions get the best of me when I need to be poised. Plus, I'd tase folks for jaywalking so there's that too.

 

Seriously though, with the way the climate seems to be heading nationally it takes a special mindset in a person to continue to want to protect and serve the public as a cop. I can't imagine the thought process of a cop these days and for those that continue to protect and serve I pray they return home to their families safely when their shift ends.

Im curious, we have many teachers throughout our family. I hear their complaints but I honestly didnt tie the 2 together.

Basically the climate of public distrust and non-support. Not only parents, but non-support from government agencies who develop mandates when they haven't been in a classroom in 20 years. The new evaluation system alone will be enough to push many out of teaching.

 

It isn't the same as what is happening with the police but Papa brought it up and I chimed in. It was probably a thread jack. Sorry.

This.

 

My fault for (somewhat) jacking the thread, but you are spot on here. Especially the first sentence.
