    At least they issue vests.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    But they don't come with stab plates in the back.

    In complete agreement with "Not supervisors or leaders, but managers".
    I have worked for the same large agency for over 30 years, in the past most of the supervision had worked their way to a leadership role.

    Now as many have stated, they came to this job to be a manager not a Police Officer, they did very little work in patrol and then moved to jobs like planning and other non hands on police jobs that probably could of been done by a non sworn employee.

    Litigation and looking for their next promotion is the new thing. It seems that this is the case across the country. I don't think it will change in the remaining of 3-5 more years of my career.

    This is all bad for Officers and the citizens that we serve and protect.
