"absence"

They'll be back. I got into it with one yesterday. To cede a point, nobody likes an over-aggressive policeman, and I've run into a few. There are bad apples among the leos across the country. But to try and depict every policeman as a "jackbooted thug" as the cop-haters do is absurd. I think many of these people have a history with the police they're not telling us.

I agree.

I have never had a bad experience with a cop.
I say ‘yes sir, no sir’... the cops say ‘thank you have a nice day’.

If I said ‘up yours you stinking pig’ I am sure I would have had some different experiences.

First off I don’t “depict every policeman as a jack booted thug”. Just like I don’t depict every black as voting Democrat....And yea, I have a history with the police. Not that it’s any of your business but I’d be happy to share it with you privately. But why bother. You wouldn’t believe it anyway.

I am a harsh critic of the jack booted thug mentality pervading police departments across America. The worst thing on my record is a few minor traffic related tickets over the years.
