As a retired police officer I can confirm your belief.  We recently had an out of state felon, just a couple of months out of jail, come to Rochester and ambush two police officers who were sitting in a car, killing a 29 year veteran of the RPD.  The officers I speak to are burned out and afraid to do their jobs, not just because of the physical danger, but afraid of losing their livelihood and pensions if someone makes a complaint to the Police Accountability Board, whose members consist of a convicted felon and the rest are very vocal about hating the police.  Not one person on the board has any law enforcement experience and understands what it is like on the streets.
