Message: <blockquote data-quote="HillsideDesolate" data-source="post: 4109799" data-attributes="member: 51737">Interestingly having lived in both, policing in California is much different than policing in Seattle. I did not like or trust the police when I lived in CA, I had been stopped, abused, cuffed and slammed on the ground for "matching the description" of a guy of a different race that I had watched running the opposite direction. Crime running rampant while normal citizens are used as an ATM. My CA experience is very much seeing the police as an arm of tyrannical goverment. I also know a few people that are in very high positions in LE in the state that I grew up with and should never have power over another person ever. So I can seen where someone from CA may have anticop sentiment. In Seattle the police were.much more a part of the community and actually wanted to fight crime. The issue is their hands were tied by a tyrannical goverment. In OK... So far my interactions with OKC PD are overwhelmingly positive. Edmond rarely waves back and seems to generate a lot of revenue. Some of these small town departments seem a bit sketch. And I have seen some people hire on that once again have no business in LE. I've also noticed the state in general is much more LE heavy. Like every small town has a police department when it would just be under the sheriff in other states, but there is more bureaucracy in general here. Also many LE jobs here are very low paying in comparison to other places which can cause problems in and of itself.</blockquote>
