[QUOTE="Russ IT Guy, post: 4108268, member: 53614"] You're correct that it's my opinion and my opinion is based on their actions overall, and I say overall because the good ones stand back and comply with what the rest do, which in my opinion makes them no different than the ones of their "community" doing wrong. If Leo wants people to stop viewing them the way they do then they shouldn't reinforce their belief. My handle on here for the uneducated, IT stands for Information Technology so im not sure what you're bashing was implying. I have been on ride alongs and have several friends and family in the Leo "community" as well as interacting with them to some degree, no I have not been in their shoes for the simple fact that I wouldn't take a career that involves me dictating and putting people in cages or Graves when they don't give me my way. I have a common respect for Leo until they show me they don't deserve to be on that level just like any other person, when someone Leo or not makes it a point to intimate you at first interaction they're trying to assert dominance over someone not assess what's going on. Why should it be ok for someone that's supposed to serve and protect to draw down on you and make you in fear of your life? That's traumatic to the 99% of ppl that aren't committing crimes but because of someone deciding to call 911 it's automatic that they're guilty. That's not innocent until proven guilty, that's you're guilty until you can drum up enough evidence and make enough noise that we can't throw you in a cage. [/QUOTE]
