I agree completely, we are just as exposed as any civilian. In some cases I think worse since being in the wrong place we can be victims just for having a badge.
It can be a thankless job too but someone's gotta do it
oh thank god I though I was the only one who felt scared... everyone here acts so casual about it
I'm there as well. It's a scary time to be a cop, or anyone for that matter. The violence in this country needs to stop.
Yeah, it's literally in our job description. I've been kicked, punched in the face, elbowed in the stomach, and had rocks thrown at me, but still managed to apprehend the suspects in each of those encounters.
You can't let that fear control you. Listen to it, because it will let you know when a situation is more dangerous than it appears at first; but don't let it control you.
We're more likely to be physically attacked than people in most other career paths. Can't fall into the whole "poor me" narrative though. If you spend your life thinking about how people are being mean to you or whatever, it will divide your focus and cause you to let down your guard. And in our line of work, inattention can often have disastrous results.
