Ya'll have more patience with people than I do. Just thinking about dealing with all that crap makes me ITCH.
I have noticed, though, that most of the criticism comes from people who've just been arrested, got a speeding ticket or have a family member that fits the above categories. I generally think the criticism means, in spite of their lengthy protests, that they are guilty.
Guilty? Perhaps guilty of not wanting to live in a police state that most of you seem so comfortable in. Just because someone dons a badge and blues doesn't mean they instantly deserve respect, reverence or worship. They're just another person that decided to go into a profession. Their reasons could be myriad for going into said profession but I'd say from observation the last batch of police that went into public service are on their last leg toward retirement.
You have to be guilty of something in order to criticize law enforcement!
For me it's easier to assume a LEO is corrupt (morally or otherwise) than it is for a citizen to be guilty.
G-d help us at just how right Milgram was.
(scratching head wondering why people worry about getting arrested if they are not doing anything?)
Holy Crap, these people that do break the law may actually have to be held accountable for their actions! They have never had to do that before? Why now?
