BTW, I take it you are a police officer? If so, thank you for what you do everyday when you go to work. As a veteran, I’ve noticed a lot of people here treat my service with respect (and I don’t have a problem with that) but some of them seem to lack that respect for the police. I’ve got nothing but admiration for those that choose a career upholding the law and protecting people.

Stories are much too easy to find in which cops do neither. (How many cops would arrest someone for simple gun possession, absent any other evidence? Do those that would "uphold the law?" By doing so are they "protecting people?")

I also oppose the caste-like system that seems to have emerged, in which cops are held to a very different standard than we citizens are. That breeds resentment, which I share. Peace Officers, I admire. LEOs, I fear. I'm afraid that with every passing year, there become fewer of the former and more of the latter. I'd like to see that trend reverse.
