“Cops knew what they were signing up for. It’s part of the job.”

The same job that you could never do? No one signed up for disrespect. No one signed up to potentially die and have elected officials use your funeral as a photo op. No one signed up to have their children

be ostracized for what their parent does for a living. No one signs up to have their kid come home and say “Mrs. So-And-So says that you kill black people.” No one signs up for stress that destroys your heart. No one signs up for a professional antagonizer to abuse you.

No one signs up for depression. No one signs up for a strained marriage. No one signs up to lose family because they don’t get what you’re going through. No one signs up for their wife’s friends to openly criticize you because they’re “woke”.

No one signs up for alcohol abuse. No one signs up to sit in the dark and do the best you can to leave the job at work. No one signs up to have the world against them.

But we did.

And we stay.

Until we can’t.
