Being a police officer could never have been an easy job. However, it must be exceptionally tough in contemporary America. For better or worse, we need them. Some people put "Support Your Local Police" stickers on their cars. Some people hate them. But then I've represented a number of corrections officers, the current euphemism for prison guards. That's even worse. The stories I've heard...
There have been recruiting posters for the Dallas Police Department in the men's rooms at our baseball stadium. (They may or may not be in the women's rooms. I wouldn't know.) That's desperate. I've heard Dallas pays its cops poorly.

We need the best!
It is a difficult job.
Definitely a job I would not like, and at the risk of sounding sexist, I've often wondered why a woman would want to be a police officer.
A tough and dangerous job in today's world.
Poorly paid jobs don't attract the best guys and it's a pity.
We need quality people in these jobs to avoid the dreadful treatment of African-Americans and other appalling mishaps.
