As a former deputy your both right...sad part is that it's not the 99% of honest LEO's who make ME think in a defensive manner regarding all things cop these days.........it's the one percenters who are worse than the criminal they seek that gives honest cops the "hassle" from honest citizens with nothing to hide.
The only way to correct such opinion /contempt of cop is for honest LEO/FLEAS to not put up with ciminal behavior or allow dishonesty among their ranks.............don't hold yer breath waiting for that to happen HOTdog.
Ya'll Stay Safe !
Let's see what a real live one thinks.
