I did not say I viewed all people with suspicion...i said those that I INITIATE contact with...which means that I have to pull them over, or stop them for something. At that point, I do a threat assessment of that person. Once I decide that they are not intending me harm, I have no issues with them. I do my business and move on. And maybe you are right...suspicion is probably the wrong word. Caution is probably more accurate. It is very difficult to forget who pays our salary, as we are reminded daily by select members of the public. (humor there) bottom line..there are more good willed cops than bad. Those bad cops are used as demonstrations of how the govt is out of control, this because cops are the most visible and approachable symbols of the govt. They make the job that much harder for those of us who are professionals in the field. My 2 cents
They are?
What about your corrupt leaders in Congress, the White House, the Senate and those down to the local levels, who are way too numerous to mention?
The fish rots from the head down.
