They’re always saying that they have a tough and dangerous job. They’re always saying that society is full of people who are out to get them. They’re always saying that a police officer’s life can be ruined by a false accusation of brutality.

But if that were true, they’d be begging to be filmed. If the police were always filmed, people would see how dangerous it is to be a police officer. Police officers would be able to defend themselves against thugs who try to kill them, because the video would prove that it’s self defense and not police brutality. Anytime a police officer is wrongly accused of brutality, they’d be able to immediately disprove the accusation.

But that’s not what happens. Police officers protest against being required to wear cameras. Police officers threaten people who film them. 

I guess this is why straight men don’t like to talk about their issues with friends because it always turns into a joke. 

this absolutely broke my heart. 

Good news: This is a legit rescue, carried out by Tigers in America. This organisation rescues tigers from horrible situations like this.
