My husband is a long-time volunteer with a local police department. As a result, we probably know over a hundred active police officers. My great-uncle is a cop. My FIL is a former state trooper who found himself out of a job due to his, shall we say, issues. Whether or not posters here want to admit it, police departments weed out the bad apples among them.

>There is a lot of "fuck the police" mentality which appears on this site on a regular basis and it is very off-putting for those of us involved in law enforcement who, otherwise, agree with the political sentiment expressed here.<

I'm frankly embarrassed by the behavior of a subset of posters here who can't wait to condemn every police response in this country. Perhaps, if they are so convinced that they could do better, they should make their way to the local police department and sign up. I'm sure they'll know the most politically correct response when they're staring down the barrel of a gun and have less than ten seconds to decide what their response is going to be, for instance.
