I wonder how many law enforcement officers have quit their jobs in the past 3 weeks?

Who could blame any of them for quitting. If you're a police officer in a scuffle with a suspect and you think a chokehold may be the best way to end the scuffle.....no, no no, you wear the suspect down with your superior wrestling skills, better yet, call for backup or maybe you pay the price for being a fool thinking such things and you don't go home today. Let's hope you don't have a family waiting for you. Whatever you do don't draw your side arm and shoot a suspect, you may get away with that if they fire on you first but other than that scenario it's better you leave your side arm in the cruiser and avoid controversy.

I think this is only in liberal, large cities. I would think in medium to small conservative cities, the populace and local politicians still respect the dangerous job police are doing.

I agree but we have thousands of police officers in our big lib cities that have to be pondering career change.

Zero. The pension always comes first.

I did the job for a decade. When I started, I told myself that if I ever got to the point of animosity towards people, I’d leave the profession. I did leave it 15 years ago. People don’t realize dealing with the lowest form of filth day after day for 8, 10, 12 hours a day, then dealing with your own shitty stuff, wears a person thin.
I’m better off for leaving, and I’d never go back. Not for any salary.

Fall back and protect yourself and your family. Get the frick out of the large Democrat held cities and find a small conservative town to move to and join their police force.
Our brothers in blue don't need this disrespect and danger.

A grand total of seven in Minneapolis. Folks have to pay bills and eat.

Seven that went through the official process.
Reportedly there are officers who just “left”.

Rather than quit, I suspect many with years on the job in lib cities will just go the route some of the Baltimore PD has done and just not engage. Their plan will be to ride it out until they get their 20 over and done with and move elsewhere unless it gets worse fast.

Being a police officer has to be one of the most difficult jobs, particularly when personal experiences over time give you no reason to trust anyone. I think of the officers who pull over a vehicle, they walk up and some SOB either peels away or worse yet is shooting as they peel away...God bless y'all, I wouldn't want any.

It’s really an experience. Most people I dealt with and had to take to the hoosegow, it was the worst day of their life. I understood that, but the people that I dealt with day in and day out......it was always the same people. Beating their wife or kids, getting bailed out by the same. Every night.....rinse and repeat. It sucked...
