Reading this thread makes me feel VERY fortunate. I live in a small town in rural Iowa, and have a free outdoor public range 3 or 4 minutes from my house. No membership fees, no hourly rates, no cost at all. The vast majority of folks shooting there are good, safe, people. Upon occasion there's a dumb yahoo... they're everywhere, and involved in every hobby, but I watch 'em for a while, and leave if I don't feel safe. I could never enjoy shooting with a range officer scrutinizing my every move.
As far as cops go, they're people. There are good ones and bad ones. At the range, most of 'em are fine, although I've seen some of the dumbest behavior come out of at least one... He shot his hand gun at a clay pigeon tossed into the air, right over our nearby town, and also enjoyed firing as fast as he could with absolutely no control. I should've said something, since behavior like that could get our range shut down, but somehow I didn't. Maybe because he was a cop?
