I see much good done by *local* state cops and sheriffs.
Most of them are “good ol’ boys” who grew up here and aren’t terrified by the vagaries of life, such as ‘porch dogs’.
The “city cops” are the ones you have to watch out for.
Except for one really wonderful city K9 cop with whom spent a very pleasant hour of conversation, talking about our dogs.
The city guys and the fed guys...In fact all big gov departments seem to have their own military combat units now. I think the Dept of Education has um... It’s also interesting to see the distrust between some of these agencies growing...Like most everything involving government at all levels nowadays, it’s chaos, corruption, on and on. It’s a spectacle few are failing to notice.
