armoredman said:I am a Correctional Sergeant - hate us; everyone else does. We don't care anymore who hates us, as the inmates do, the people on the streets, and a large percentage of street LE despise us. It's OK, go for it. Thick skin comes in prison....
jsalcedo said:Personally it is a case by case attitude problem.
If I support a cop in a thread nobody notices.
If I take a cops actions to task I'm a cop basher or cop bigot.
Regarding my experiences, my police contact has been 1/3 neutral 1/3 really good 1/3 really bad. I'll ignore the other 1%.
The bad experiences really stick out for me and since I am not or have never been a criminal or disrespectful to a police officer.
My life experience tells me there are certain professions that attract those who seek power and dominance over others.
To summarize you can't paint all police officers with a broad brush.
All police officers are NOT JBT's
You also cannot assume that all police are there to protect and serve.
