And here is the “money quote”
Law enforcement needs to be respected, not because we were angels who walk on water, but because we're the living embodiment of the law," Officer Joseph told co-host Bill Hemmer. "And when you don't even respect or value the life of the living embodiment of that individual enforcing the law, you're going to have lawlessness that's going to come."
The living embodiment of the law- that is a bold statement- wondered what hide would make of this- any current or former LEO give me your take on that statement.
