When faced with unarmed suspects, however, some police officers are quite a bit more enthusiastic.
The public is becoming increasingly aware of the fact that police don’t face sanctions for doing nothing to protect the public from violence.
Meanwhile, when police open fire on unarmed members of the public, officers frequently walk free, and some even continue to get paid.
In short, the deck has long been stacked in favor of both police agencies and individual police officers.
But many police officers are apparently less than thrilled with the reforms, and police agencies are claiming they’ve been unfairly targeted, while “warning” the public that few people will now want to become law enforcement officers.
