Yep. No/few protections. Why would you risk joining a job field that places you in dangerous and stressful situations regularly? And, doesn't even pay that well. Mandatory overtime, rotating shifts, court+training on your days off, death threats towards you + your family, media/public that automatically hate you for wearing the uniform
Eventually you will have to use physical force. Anybody who has ever worked in any type of Security Job/Law Enforcement position with consistent human interaction with conflicts know that. No matter how good your deescalation and communication skills are. And, people can file a lawsuit on you outside of even physical force situations. Too much liability, despite even all of your actions having good intentions.
There needs to be some type of union and protections for sure. I realize it will likely get reformed/replaced with something. But the people who think this stuff should just be removed, they dont get it in my opinion.
Yeah cops have an incredibly difficult job. Just the diversity of things they have to deal with is like no other profession. I honestly feel that if the critics worked as a city cops for a year they would be much more sympathetic.
