Maybe luck, maybe your police are truly professional. I have run into a few of them, but around here they are as rare as hen’s teeth.
The vast majority of officers I encounter seem to think that anyone not wearing blue is to be demeaned, intimidated and treated like subhuman filth.
Depends on the officer and a lot of times the department they work for I have found. My local city police department has a horrible reputation in the community and among other law enforcement agencies. The state police pretty much put one strike against any officer trying to join them from this department right off the bat. That being said what few encounters I have had with them have been positive or neutral. On the other hand I have friends who are not criminals, worst offense a speeding ticket who have had horrible encounters with this department.
On the other hand I live near a national park and no one I have talked to has had any good encounter with the Rangers that work that park, they are pretty much universally hated by the locals as arrogant, smart mouth pri*ks.
This treating people as us vs. them crap has the average person wanting nothing whatsoever to do with a police officer on or off duty. And worse the two sets of laws one for the people and one for those in government is really getting old fast and causing hatred for cops and government employees in general. They screw up, break the law, treat people like crap, hurt and kill them and they are not held accountable whether it is a cop or some bureaucratic puke at the VA.
