Exactly!!!

I believe that the constant criticism by people really know nothing about the job is probably a huge part of the problems suffered by the RCMP, first responders in general. The majority, great majority of them are out there to do the very best job they can to serve us the public and in return they are criticized constantly for everything they do. In many/most cases they would be criticized no matter what they did. It would either be too much or too little. A no win situation. A bigger problem is probably 98% of these criticizers truly know very little about the actual situation, yet these responders have to hear and see these criticisms every day on TV, in the papers, in the coffee shops, at every turn. And in many cases they actually did the right thing. No wonder they suffer.

Could end up dead eating a poisoned burger.

how many burger joint employees you know pack a gun with bullets loaded to work and point them at people?

Irrelevant - police can and do screw up (they are only human) and that does NOT mean someone ends up dead.

There's many cases where your scenario doesn't play out.

Every situation has it own set of unique factors that contribute to it's end result.

Exactly and most of the time we actually know little or nothing about the actual situation. In fact I believe in most we base our opinions based on our opinions of police, nothing to do with the actual facts of the situation, which we usually have little knowledge of.
