I have seen tremendous differences from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
In some places the cops are the angels. In other places, worse than the gangs.
I live in a small town and our local and county police are good mostly. There are a few bad apples but they don’t get chased off. It can be deadly. It’s unacceptable and as long as I’m more likely to be killed by a cop than a crook it’s pointless to pretend. Truth is truth. Next town over is bad. mRAPS. Really. Ticket happy. Thuggish. It’s cultural. I avoid that town and I don’t trust their cops. Any of them.
