I think that being shot in the face is extreme. Criticism should be allowed due to the first amendment rights. However, it is difficult to criticize someone’s job when you have never done that job. It is more beneficial to criticize law enforcers, if you have been in law enforcement. That is not to say that only those with law enforcement experience can criticize, I just believe that you should take into account all sides of the situation before you criticize someone.
You would not want to be criticized about your job by someone who has little to no knowledge of what you do. Therefore, I think that people are too quick to judge others and need to research more before they make a critical statement especially to law enforcement.
