re: UM, Don't look now but somehow, AOC is getting this Police thing 100% correct right now.

I thought the difference was that doctors got paid a lot more than police, and doctors were not routinely shot at

This is like saying we should give legal immunity to soldiers too, since they are routinely shot at as well (hint- the vast majority never are shot at- at all). Ironically there's far more ROE with soldiers than police officers, yet an E-1 makes enough to qualify for food stamps, yet is held to a higher standard. Based on that who would ever want to enlist?

A real life way to fix this would be to install something equivalent to UCMJ for LEO, if you really wanted to find solutions. Right now they have no legal duty to protect anyone or anything, and LEO can legally desert their colleagues or abandon their posts with no consequences whatsoever and the court gives them QI to boot.
