No , just stating that I’m sick and tired of this above the law cr*p and the “us vs. them” attitude that seems to be prevalent among le personnel ,, they call us “civilians” as if that’s a put down while not realizing that they are civilians themselves and have an obligation to conduct themselves accordingly.

I understand. People are tribal/clannish for a variety of reasons. Cops are the same way. It’s tribal more than us vs. them. You identify with people of the same background, experiences, knowledge, etc than someone who does not have those things. Calling citizens “civilians” isn’t a put down. It’s an identifier that the individual being called a civilian isn’t a part of the tribe or affiliated in any way.
