In our current environment, there is tremendous strain between citizen groups and law enforcement. There have been riots and protests against police in numerous cities over use of force issues, calls for defunding of police, countless incidents of restaurant employees refusing to serve police, or in some cases, tampering with their food, and assaults on police resulting in serious injury and death. It has become all too common to see social media posts of individuals in aggressive confrontations with police and many instances of deliberate non-compliance with officers. There are activist groups like the Black LIves Matter movement and Antifa that have anti-police sentiments.
