You make take solace that your co-workers think the way you do, but you've lost the trust of your constituency. When it's "us against them" and the "them" includes right-wing conservatives, maybe you should reconsider your approach.

Perhaps a rather sweeping assertion.
LEOs are seldom called to pay someone a compliment. Usually there's a conflict between persons or an illegal act. If you see "put down the cigarette, scissors, knitting needle" as an atrocity, so be it.
And, yes, if someone is acting in an aggressive and frightening way, then your local PD is likely to have officers whose response includes preserving their own lives. Dangerous people aren't part of the PD's "constituency". The idea of sacrificing your life if the aggressor is "really a nice boy", isn't part of the deal.
And, it would make recruiting for the job a real B*tch.
