That's...really a great goal here.
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I posted this JDS. Good to see that I'm not the only one who came to this conclusion.
Well think about this...in the past, when the police have set up "fake officers", be they cardboard cutouts, dummies in parked cruisers, etc, people have been known to start taking potshots at them, even with real guns. The deception is not appreciated, and when people get used to seeing the same "officer" in the same spot, any time of the day, any day of the week, well, it becomes a tempting target. Setting up a situation where the populace begins to associate the image of a LEO with something that they can throw stuff and shoot stuff at...well, that's a recipe for disaster. If the department replaces a "fake LEO" with a real one at some point, and that real LEO gets attacked by accident, they only have themselves to blame.
Furthermore, this is an extension of the trend of law enforcement treating the citizens as the enemy instead of treating them as citizens to be protected and served. I seem to be the only one noticing this trend.
Think about out. Who uses decoys?
Hunters and soldiers.
Is that really what law enforcement should be doing? Hunting the citizens, as if they were the enemy?
