My initial point was made intentionally to spark debate. I'm not 'yin and yang' on this. I'm early in the development on my thought process.
It's not easy as a police officer, because that's obvious.
And it's not the same as a private job. Because they are for-profit.
These are public service employees. And my thought. Right now, is that public employees should represent their community.
My opinion is shiftable, but I know that if you live somewhere...you care a bit more about that place.
And I remember as a kid seeing teachers out shopping at Kroger or Central Hardware and think 1) WOAH. THERES MY TEACHER 2) I gave him/her the rockstar treatment because they were my teacher and here they were out in public LOL.
So sorry if I came off strong. I like to tip the cart a bit.
