LMPD trying to identify officer photographed apparently sleeping in car

Agreed. That is totally different than accusing someone of sleeping on duty.

The safety factor, there is no argument. That is not the purpose of the article.

I am not a police officer but I have never quite understood the logic that a lot of police officers have. What makes you believe you become a target as soon as you "let your guards" down? I have met a few cops over the years and they are all weird people (very paranoid, very square, and too judgmental). If you believe a cop sleeping in a patrol car in uniform makes you a target, you might as well believe in the boogie man. The public at large does not want to shoot you, ok?

If we paid OUR police officers , firefighters and ems better they would not have to work 2 or 3 jobs like some of my LMPD friends do!!
