Should a police officer be an example of discipline and self control?

They are trained, and they are people that want to go home to their families too.

Yes. That should be an absolute basic requirement. If you don't have discipline and self control you need not apply.

They should be but definitely aren't

Should protesters be an example of discipline and self control or are they just examples of lawlessness plain and simple

either do your duties or act with negligence that's about it
