Since they always treated me well I’ll continue to treat them well.

I used to think like you. Until my house was burglarized. Most everyone has a story like that.
Then as the veil of darkness that shrouded the Police from scrutiny was lifted by technology the sanitation of sunlight has not been kind to Law Enforcement.
I don't know if we're just extremely lucky to have our Sheriff or if this says something about the difference between Sheriff's departments and city police departments.
I am with Mears. Reciprocal respect.
Since they always treated me well I’ll continue to treat them well.

Same here. I am a bit tired of the Occupy group posting anti-cop comments.
Same here.
Just the other day I saw some idiot here saying that the fact that the media was reporting on the cop tossing a football with a kid proved that good cops are an exception. The only real exception was the media choosing to report something good.
The media didn’t report on me not raping anyone yesterday or you not murdering anyone yesterday.
The reactionary idiots don’t have the brains or courage to take their issues with police up with their state and local governments. Some people are just so in love with the idea of being angry that they wouldn’t know what to do without it.
Some years ago a new cop maced my 12 lb dog for “charging” him. Naturally it pissed me off and I told him about it plus I called his supervisor. At the end of his shift that cop came back to apologize and I invited him in to get to know the dog. I learned that he had recently transferred to our little 5 man force from Detroit and he learned that he could relax around here because we have virtually no crime to begin with. A few months later we disbanded our police department and the cop chose to stay and find a new career.
