'Militaristic and intimidating': St Louis police criticized as protests stretch on

[pwb]

9. Why would I be a cop.

I already have 27 years federal service. Don't take it personal. These guys today are threatened by a sharp pencil. A guy around here was killed by cops on his front porch fifty feet away with a kitchen knife. He was probably carving a turkey. But you guys circle your wagons and come up with excuses and waik away. Cops are your own worst enemy covering up for incompetence in your ranks. Your making people angry with your intimidation tactics and feeling like you can do anything because you have a shiny badge. Your making your jobs more dangerous than they have to be. Cop motto today is protect yourselves and serve. Peace.
