Speaking as a user, not a mod, for whatever it's worth, when I say 'Don't @ me' I actually mean 'I am desperate to discuss this shit, someone talk to me.'

An out lesbian, concerned about social issues, willing to both call out her fellow officers both in person and online and question her own actions when called out, she did a ton of good for her community. Officers like that leaving does not help, especially when the reason is just a vague unease about how others might think about you.

This is a very, very complicated thing to talk about and it really doesn't have a right answer.

In Roko's case, I guess I would have preferred her to take some time considering why she is in the police force, what her fears/objections with respect to the work are, and how she could best put her qualities to work to affect some changes, inside the system or outside.
That may well have led to exactly the same outcome as today's comic, but her current decision to me seems extremely rash and not very well thought through.
That said, I admit that she may have done all the above for some time already and her interaction with May may have simply been the proverbial last straw. It just didn't come across that way to me.
TheEvilDog:
JFC, this forum, sometimes.
Is there any reason to attack someone for referencing something posted in the comic? Or in the creator's commentary at the bottom of the page.
Any discussion about law enforcement in the US is always going to be a sensitive topic, especially in light of how badly they're seen at the moment. But everyone is going to have a different experience from their own personal experience and many of us on the forum aren't American. There are some places in the world where the police actually do their job.
Look, there's enough badwill in the world, this forum should be a safe haven from it. So don't go fucking adding to it here.
I think I should go join De_La_Nae in that moratorium.

When I first read today's comic, that's actually the impression I had as well, that we see the last straw breaking the proverbial camel's back, but missed the rest of the load. However, I figured we still have the rest of the week coming.

Not a bad idea that.
Zebediah:
We’ve seen before that Roko is miserable. She’s unhappy in her work, and she’s unhappy in her love life (or lack thereof). Friends? O’Malley, who doesn’t really get her, and Melon, who doesn’t really get anything. She’s been in need of a change for a while. None of this has snuck up on us.
SotFX:
I'm hoping this doesn't mean that O'malley is disappearing from the comic
Though if this is running on a rule of drama, the next mention of him will be with Roko having a crisis because he got killed somehow in the line of duty due to a new, inexperienced partner and effects of one of the corrupt cops they're mentioning
