There isn't a cop (who's not in it for power) who doesn't know that they are appreciated and that nonLE/nonCriminals appreciate the good guys for what they do.
It's the ones who feel their position of authority makes them somehow more special, or above the law, that are the bad eggs, and they shouldn't be allowed to hide behind the shield when they are outted. |
Maybe not to you, but threads like this say otherwise. You're also coming from a different perspective as someone who was in the field.
It would be nice if we had a little more balance between the negatives and positives. I know in general people love to bitch and complain vs. point out the good things.
