[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3793161, member: 45773"] I've already conceded a portion of the law enforcement community shouldn't be wearing the badge. A very small minority. How many police officers went about their day yesterday and did nothing but good, honest work for people? I'd venture to say the VAST majority did. And I don't give a rat's ass that cops enforced mask mandates passed by city councils. So what? So did receptionists in medical clinics. So did teachers in school. So did greeters at WalMart FFS. Is that all you've got to worry about? Must be nice. If you don't wanna wear a mask then don't. Do you have any idea how many crimes are discovered as a result of what most people would refer to as a "chickens**t" traffic stop? Yeah...I don't either. But I can tell you from personal experience it's a huge number. God forbid we ask cops to do their job. People like you are gonna ***** when they do their job and when they don't. That's a perfect illustration of why so many cops have an Us v Them attitude. Not defending...so don't even go there. Just saying I can understand it when I read some of the stupid s**t I do on internet forums. And like I said...if a person has decided the "arrogant attitude of many" has poisoned the well, that's just ignorance and a lack of objectivity. It's a lesson many learned well during the last 14 years. Cops are part of the problem, not part of the solution. You go ahead and jump on the "cops are bad" bandwagon. I'll judge each person, cop or not, on their merits. [/QUOTE]
