I do think and believe that the region in which one lives gives one an opinion of what the political and Police structure is for that given local. Know I’ve been lucky in where am living and the attitude of the Police has been above board. From your opinion, would say you have not been as lucky.
You are correct, but I think that borders on being willfully ignorant on the part of some (present company excepted of course). With the internet videos and political sites and news sites and message boards - not to mention cable, talk radio, YouTube, etc….there is little excuse to remain this isolated from reality.
To some extent. My local county cops are great guys, and I think, generally, I can trust them to be on the right side. But I live in a rural area in the Republican heart of Missouri, where we used to vote for Durward G. Hall when he was the only Republican in the Missouri Congressional delegation. However, I know what is happening elsewhere and the direction law enforcement is taking. I find the militarization of law enforcement disturbing.
