As my kids get older, I will teach them to avoid interaction with police if at all possible. I no longer see them as the famous, altruistic, “thin blue line” that protects me and my family. Sorry.
No need to be sorry. You have pegged them (in a reverse fashion) for what they are: thugs with a badge, a gun, and an attitude.
I have had no use for them for years.

Yep.
I agree
And I would show everyone these 2 videos.

Legal experts telling you to do the same thing and why.
I was raised that way, too.
Always viewed them as heroes.
Now...not so much.

When I was a kid, we were taught cops were our friends. And they were friendly and helpful. Now they’ve been trained “you’re the enemy” and treat you as such.
But this is what life is like in a police state. Land of the free? LOL!

Sadly, you are right. With some exceptions, LE departments have for the most part dumbed down their standards and are now largely staffed by thugs. There has been a rash of trigger-happy cops playing Rambo, and most often innocent bystanders or family pets are the victims.
