The problem is, this becomes self fulfilling prophecy on both sides.
The people have become low and coarse and callous; so have the sworn officers of the system.
I have to ask all posters - when was the last time you talked to a LEO when he wasn’t responding to a call?
The LEOs of all stripes and persuasions deal with people we would run away from as fast as we could. Yet they have to run to the fire.
Of course they are going to react they way they do. How would you react if 11 out of every 10 (yes, I have the numbers correct) you encounter on a daily basis are criminals trying to avoid being arrested in any way possible (lies, physical assaults, lawfare, and even with deadly force)?
