I have 3 officers in my family, 1 of them being a parent. I’d have to disagree, but not strongly. So would they, they are a lot of fair criticism of how police are trained these days and a fair level dislike. My family members needed a degree, require extensive training comparably, and had more programs with the community.

Even talking about the police as a collective from the perspective of the US is odd. So many departments are different, they are not fully one entity.

The most important thing is that it is just that, a job.
