Why Many Police Traffic Stops Turn Deadly

[KentuckyWoman]

6. I personally know 3 people who have left their police jobs.

One retired early and the other two are still "in the business" but not on patrols. All three said their decision had more to do with giving up trying to make things better from within. Three officers in 3 different departments, felt the "good cops" were in such a minority that they had to give up the good fight and move on.

The man who retired early said they'd get better training if they watched more Mayberry and less Dirty Harry. He was only partly kidding. He said police aren't being trained to diffuse. They are being taught to enforce and where the line is.
