"The three city unions representing rank-and-file officers have sent a scathing letter to the city’s top cop demanding long guns, ballistic helmets, extra-loaded magazines and other equipment in light of “worldwide” murders of police.

The unions write “enough is enough” and they want their demands met.

“We live in a world where a sitting President has basically ‘fanned the flames of Police hatred’ with political rhetoric and now a sitting Governor is politically afraid to speak,” the letter reads."

I absolutely think they need the extra protection due to the on going issues of attacks on police throughout the country. I would add, however, that it's not just police being murdered. Ordinary citizens are being murdered as well and the reasons that the police unions used to justify needing heavier armament can also be used by the people to demand their gun rights back in MA and elsewhere throughout the country. By the time the police are alerted to a person shooting some place full of people up and respond, the situation may very well be over with a lot of dead people (see Orlando, San Bernardino, etc.).

Cops bitch too much. They don't have the most dangerous job, being a pilot is more perilous. More cops die of suicide than gunshots and traffic accidents combined.

Why do you suppose they have such a high suicide rate?  Is it because their job is so easy and rewarding?

Being a cop is one of the toughest jobs on the planet.  It makes being a professor look like being a pussy.
