And the liberal media detests law enforcement, not realizing that they have to put up with constant bullshit and something like this a few times in a career, all for an average income at best (depending on the area and jurisdiction).
One of my buddies recently resigned from NYS police and went back to being a CO. He said that the extra pay wasn't worth the horrible schedule and dealing with the public. Keep in mind NYS troopers are some of the highest paid in the country, and make well over 100k.
