Vincent Hill: ‘Saddening’ People ‘Are More Concerned’ When Cops Take Action on a Suspect than When They’re Killed

‘Police have the hardest jobs in the world’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HILL: "You know, Melissa, my heart is very heavy. Police have the hardest jobs in the world. They have a job where it requires them to make split-second decisions that could end their life or force them to take another life. Even when I was in the military, there was nothing that would split second about that but when I was in policing, everything I did was split second. And you know, it’s saddening that in this country people are more concerned when police take action against a suspect than they are when a police officer is killed. If the roles were reversed here, I think we would already be seeing outrage, we would already be seeing protests, hash tags, no one wants to take into account the dangers of policing and how hard the job is. It’s the only job in the country where you can leave home and not know if you’re going to return home from work."
