I hope very soon police can face the same amount of suffering they dish out to people and families.

If that were to become a reality, they would be no cops. Is that what you want? No cops? Because that sounds nice.

Every time I hear about (more) police violence, I just get stuck thinking about the number of times I've been assaulted by patients as a healthcare worker and how I was still required to put their safety above my own if at all possible...including the one that was twice my weight and tried to strangle me.

There seems to be an inverse correlation between fearing for your life and fearing negative repercussions...
