  Uncharitable and inaccurate comment. Most police officers do a good job and risk their lives and livelihood enforcing the rule of law.

    If you want to get to the truth of a matter, you need to hold conflicting thoughts in your head at the same time. Most cops are doing a good job, and most people they interact with are criminals. The system allows all of their priors to run amok, unjustly harming everyone they interact with. The system/union protects the bad apples that go even further, who spoil the bunch and gives the profession a bad image. By holding one side blameless, you are contributing to the ongoing destruction of the institution. If you're truly interested in law and order, you should focus on the current lack of law and order for the people tasked with upholding it. As for the actual recent "crime waves", that is being debated to death elsewhere. Like everything, it's some of column A and some of column B and the partisan narratives distract rather than enlighten.
