Yup. Because we live in the real world, where most folks know that the best way to make a bad situation worse is to involve a cop.
When I joined FR, back in the dark ages, the overwhelming majority were of the "cops can do no wrong" bent. Over the years, this has gradually shifted as more and more people have been ground under the wheels of the enforcers of the oligarchy. It's been fascinating to watch, actually.
I think the one thing that has done the most damage to the image of the police is the shooting of inconvenient family pets.
I am an ordained minister. I was called The Straight One (i.e., Straight Arrow) when young adult. Never drugged. Never drunk.
I learned the police are not our friends before age 30. I do not want any involvement with them. (No longer in mnistry.)
I shifted long before Al Gore invented the internet.
