GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – “It’s very emotional when you see something like this going on”
Another police ambush…..and a retired Green Bay cop expects changes in police response as a result.
Bill Galvin is now a member of the Green Bay City Council.
He was emotional when finding out 3 cops in Baton Rouge were gunned down in an apparent ambush.
“When I told my daughters their response was I’m glad you’re not a cop anymore. I wish I was and at the same time I’m kinda glad I’m not”
He says the end result could be more police riding in squad cars and even slower response to calls as they figure out the security risks.
“Instead of going there to help people, like we think we’re supposed to be doing, we may very well be set up in an ambush where we’re the target”
Galvin says these are times that are hard to understand.
“It’s like a serious segment of our society has turned on the very people that we’re supposed to trust to protect us”
He says officers are going to be warned to be more careful and wary…..
“The barking dog call could be the one that sets you up”
Finally, Galvin says it will be a challenge for officers to remember that it’s just a small segment of society that wants to harm them.
The vast majority support police.
