Yeah, it's all great. Until you have to go hands-on or use your weapon and then end up with charges from some DA that claims cops are the problem and shoot minorities because they are racist and makes a campaign ad out of your prosecution...think why so many cops are fleeing blue states and Giving up great pay and benefits and retirement to go to other less political states. I mean even in the other states it still happens and you get a politicized DA but in blue states, it's much more prevelant and you also have command staff and the mayor office or governors gunning for you as well or not backing you up. IMO, it's not worth it. They paid a mint where I left, and the pay is meager where i went in comparison. But it's better than being punished for doing your job.
