What Are Policemen Made Of?

[gettysburgfreak]

It saddens me deeply every time I see riots, protests, or hear all the negative bs that the media and the public have to say about police officers and law enforcement. I am in that field and the public has no idea what it is truly like to have to make a split second decision that can have enormous consequences. It is tough enough to go to work every day not knowing what the shift will bring and even worse to have that voice in the back of your mind that makes you question if the decision you make is going to outrage the public and possibly land you in jail. If people would simply learn to respect commands and do what the person is telling you, so many problems could be avoided.
