He worked as an officer in our town for 25 years and has been working on the force at a local university for the past year.  But with everything that's been going on, he's decided to put away the badge because he's afraid of being a target.  He used to have a bunch of police related shirts he'd wear around...now in the garbage.  He's afraid to wear them.  He was on his way to work and had to hide his uniform because there were about 1000 BLM protesters in the streets blocking everyone.  He's sick of seeing officers getting killed.

My dad loves to serve and protect the public, but because a handful of piece-of-shit members of society think that going around killing cops is justice, he was scared into ending his career short.  So
<bot>: thanks extreme BLM members for causing a good officer, one who truly, genuinely wants to serve and protect, to quit.  And I'm not sure he's the only one.
