CM Really? Just because you don't see the details of every call in the paper, that has a habit of reporting things before getting any facts (ie Warren officer takes woman down at gunpoint, when actually he was taking out his FLASHLIGHT to search her home and HELP her son) doesn't mean they are not in harms way every single day. If you think it's so easy why don't you try doing what they do? Working all holidays and weekends 24/7, having to cancel plans constantly because they are called into work, missing family because you are busy protecting someone else's. And the high pay, that's a load of crap - these guys make $40k base and anything else is either forced OT or details requested by the town or private companies, again to protect YOU. So before you go an bash a hard working group of incredible individuals, why don't you get your facts straight. These guys should be able to accept a $2 cup of coffee from someone who appreciates their service, who appreciates their presence in their establishment to maybe, oh I don't know, deter the scumbags who usually frequent the spot. Granted, the officer shouldn't have accepted the coffee as the policy states they can't, but frankly your ignorant comment is offensive.
