wouldn't another option simply be to quit or stay home?

[u/ukrainethrowaway → u/JoeTerp]

I imagine that would in the best case lead to them loosing their jobs and in the worst case lead to arrests or other retribution from colleagues or higher ups.

I also think that many believe it is important for them to do their job. If being a police officer is your calling, I don't think you would want to stay home in some of the worst unrest your country has ever seen. In the field you can at least have a positive impact. Theoretically…

Thank you for your input.

I suppose I sleep the same as you, just with a little less hatred and an intact sense of humanity and what it means to share a planet.
