I've been reading these forums for years, and I've yet to see a couple of you, who are prominent in this post, complain about a bad plumber, lawyer, or auto mechanic that you've had a bad experience with, yet you go out of your way to post on law enforcement. Particularly a case that has nothing to do with you personally.
There is a war on law enforcement, another officer killed today. I can understand the mentality of some young people, minorities and crooks having such a hatred for law enforcement, but it's really a shame to find a few on here, where I thought there would be an older, wiser, and more mature crowd, having the same hatred for law enforcement.
Just so you know, that guy camping three spots down from you, making sure your coach doesn't get broken into, or the one stopping by to see if you need help.....is often an off duty or retired police officer. Guess what, they like camping as much as everyone else and are the few who aren't afraid to step in and stop a crime or go out of their way to help someone out. The reason they do it, is because that's why they got into law enforcement. They have families, their grand kids play with your grandkids, yet you single them out as all bad cops.
It just gets tiresome when you spend your entire career solving the issues of others, that were too weak to solve their issues themselves, while at the same time being criticized for everything you do, especially from someone behind a keyboard who you would think to be more mature and informed!
What police officers must decide or do often happens in a split second. Everyone else gets the luxury of spending years to decide if it was the right decision.
