    Defunding police vilifying them every turn contributing to officer suicides

    The police being vilified at every turn," Roy said. "Officers are the subject of vilification, disrespect, false claims, and they?re not being supported by the government agencies that employ them

    They put their lives on the line everyday. It?s high stress and on top of all this they are vilified by the public they protect.

    Defunding the police, vilifying them 'at every turn' contributing to officer suicides, experts say

    'The suicides and the current climate go hand in hand,' a retired Chicago detective told Fox News Digital

    Chicago, like Los Angeles and New York City, has adopted policies that reduce or eliminate cash bail for violent criminals, resulting in those suspects being released back onto the streets shortly after arrest. Roy told Fox News Digital that bail reform laws also damage police officer morale as offenders cycle in and out of jail after re-offending.

    Two retired police officers spoke to Fox News Digital about how the defund the police movement and demonization from the media have contributed to law enforcement suicides.

    I would think working for a large city government would be morale-damaging enough. Every policy, whether it comes from City Hall, Police HQ, or the union, is a broad brush.

      Also, from a pure PR standpoint, compare Uvalde, TX to Greenwood, IN.

      That's completely outside the control of the "woke mob" yet if you're a LEO, it sits out there like proof that these agencies don't know what they're doing. Not ALL of them, but more than probably make the papers.

      Plus, who knows better than the employees how screwed up their organization is? True of everyone (including cops).
