I have 2 brothers, 2 nephews who are...or as of today were police officers. ALL of them handed in their badges today and have other jobs lined up. I am frankly relieved and I do not blame them one bit for this hard decision.. One brother had in over 20 years and ALL of them have families of their own. Nephew has a new baby. Is just not worth it to them anymore to become targets of violence. Their wives worried each time they left for work II suspect will be soon harder to recruit police.. I hear they are having a hard time getting anyone to fill the positions left.

Read my post again.......they ALL have other jobs lined up....some just part time for now. All but one have their 20 years in and will receive retirement benefits. Their new jobs may not be full time or as good of pay in their new endevors but at least not as dangerous. Sometimes money or even having a career isnt everything.....when that job is now being targeted by unfair random violence and death and all has a family that needs them alive..

It Happened again. Two Police Officers Shot 

 One San Diego police officer was killed and another one

wounded when a driver they stopped Thursday night

opened fire on them in the latest in a series of cop

shootings around the nation.

The gunfire came at a time when law enforcement officers

around the country on heightened alert following the killing

of officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this month.
