You literally put your life on the line while going into the highest crime neighborhoods. You step into ugly domestic situations. You get insulted and cursed by 15 year olds who have been told by gang leaders that you will not be put into jail.
You are told by your bosses to harass citizens who go to church, or eat too close at a restaurant. But, you have to leave people alone who are screaming a couple inches away from your face alone.
You are surrounded by drugs and drug dealers. You sometimes save the lives of overdose people.
You get written up by your bosses for violation of petty rules. You try to explain to your wife why you might be killed on the job.
You are hated by many, you are blamed. In a society of sociopaths, career criminals, sexual perverts, vandals, thieves, drug dealers, embezzlers...you are the baddest of all.
You are chanted to by groups: F the Police.
If you react, you may be blamed and shown on social media, and your home address will be put on social media.
Your cars are firebombed, your spit on, your chastised on social media, hate groups are plotting to overthrow you, mayors in LA have cut your funding.
You are a father, husband, parent, son (substitute proper terms for females).
You are maligned because of a few bad apples in your vocation? How many of us can say that 100% of the people in our vocation are good, solid people?
How would you like to be a policeman right now?
