A police officer represents the law and should receive respect, not just as a guy in a uniform with a gun, but as a guy wearing a badge that represents the backing and full force of the laws of the United States of America.
Our elected officials have let these guys down by withholding the support behind the badge.
What we're seeing now truly is just a guy wearing a costume following a bunch of rules confronting a bunch of emboldened thugs.
Total disgrace.
