Okay, so if you were a cop you'd jump into a mob without the backing of your superiors.. Then either get killed or have your life ruined? I'm not saying it should be happening but it is. I have plenty of friends in law enforcement and they are scared shitless now, they could lose their job and hurt their family because they get caught in the wrong confrontation.
If they don't have the backing of their superiors, they should consider a strike. I know it doesn't protect people like Brandon, but it might at least signal solidarity with the citizenry.
As it is, they're "just following (stand down) orders" while people are being attacked.
The right supports police, for now, but when they show themselves to be feckless, they could find themselves without much public support at all. We can easliy quit caring about when a BLM guy wastes a cop's life.
