Personal experience is fact based.
Not good enough.
Yes, indeed. I do not trust LEOs. They are not here to protect and serve. They are here to bring in revenue and intimidate and, at times, encourage desensitization.
Our former police chief drank on the job, while driving and tossed his beer can out of the car. He received a ticket for littering. It was about 10 years ago.
My son was harassed walking home in mid-winter, carrying something in his jacket for his sick mother (mashed taters with gravy). Cop stopped him and asked him what was in his coat. He told him. Was then told to take it out; he did. Cop was pissed off. Made him take off his shoes in the snow so he could make sure he was not carrying drugs. Guess who has no respect for cops. Besides me, I mean.
We are in a small town. There are times when the cops will not take a 911 B&E call because they need to move someone to the jail and the other on call is on a break. Yes, it has been documented. We are told to not bother calling in most issues; just call the next day and file a report. No one is coming out to your home unless it is a domestic or disorderly. Those bring in money.
