Frustration has really set in.

The thrust of our conversation was our mutual frustration with the lack of aggressiveness on the part of DOC.

But we still do our jobs. Our pride in our jobs has been hurt, but I wouldn't say that it is gone.

A lot of officers are sick and tired of what's going on. It's hard to work in this environment.

Is there some frustration in that this has lasted now significantly longer than people thought it would at the onset? Yes, that frustration is there,

Frustration is an interesting emotional state, because it tends to bring out the worst in whoever is frustrated. Frustrated babies tend to throw food and make a mess. Frustrated citizens tend to execute kings and queens and make a democracy. And frustrated moths tend to bang up against lightbulbs and make light fixtures all dusty.
