Imagine the feeling of putting on soldiers armor and gathering weapons to assault "violent" protesters. Then show up to see the unarmed kids and women you were there to assault.

I couldn't imagine living through the shame without quitting that second.

There were multiple medical emergencies on-campus that paramedics couldn't respond to because the protesters blocked their entrance. If you were a "good cop" you'd be damn proud to get this rabble out of the street.
