Police do have to put up with a lot. For the pay they get I would not do it, even double pay I would not do it.
My buddy's partner just got shot in the leg, He was on the way to drop off a person at jail when this happened. My buddy has death threats, now has to carry a weapon all the time. He was just over Saturday for bar-b-que and I asked you have a gun, He reaches in to pull his little gun out. That does not sound like fun, carry gun for people that are hunted. HUMMM.
