US POLICE

It's never been easy to be a cop. Now before we get all the way into this and in case anyone forgot, this is not about George Floyd. My reaction to that execution was immediate. The officers involved should all receive due process, but watching a man killed over almost ten minutes is something I never want to see again. No one hates a dirty cop more than the vast vast majority of cops - good cops who are called to serve.

Since then however, there have been movements to defund police and as the New York Times said over the weekend, "Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police".

Another man was killed over the weekend - this time in Atlanta. His death lead to violence, but this is not the same. Rayshard Brooks is dead. The narrative is he fell asleep in his car and that's why he's dead. But there is video here too. Stealing an officer’s taser weapon, pointing it at him and firing it could indeed result in the use of fatal force. It happened at a Wendys. Since then that restaurant has been burned to the ground, Atlanta's Police Chief has quit and the officer has been fired.

Once upon a time it wasn't easy to be a cop, but you knew that your leadership had your back. Today, not so much.

So all this poses a question - in today's world, would you be a cop?
