BIG BEND, Wis. (WISN) - Five members of a local police department quit on the same day. Those five represent nearly half of the department. The Village of Big Bend announced the resignations on its Facebook page. … Anderson says the Village president’s plan to dissolve the Fire and Police Commission in early December was the last straw for him and the five officers who quit.

It’s funny that these “heroes” can’t even handle public scrutiny. Imagine if nurses quit every time a hospital made bad organizational or budgetary choices. If your job is actually important for a community, you don’t quit it. You can’t quit it. It’s a duty and a responsibility to your fellow man. These cops are quitting over political discourse. If that’s all it takes, sounds like they weren’t doing much to begin with.

Here are some practice questions for the interview:

Can you fire a gun indiscriminately?
Are you comfortable using civil forfeiture to rob people?
You see a black person, do you: A - Start blasting? B - Severely beat them with your baton? C - Beat them with the baton and then start blasting?

Well yeah, 5 out of 11 people resigned after they were initially being disbanded and then told nevermind? Not surprising. Doesn’t matter how you feel about the police, that’s not job security anyone would want to stick around for.

Ahh yes, Big Bend, the tiny town where businesses fly “FUCK JOE BIDEN” flags. Surely this is place for adults with reasonable opinions.
