"These SWAT guys and military wannabees are destroying the moral authority of the real police who patrol the streets."

I don't know if you are aware of this but most SWAT teams are made up of "the real police who patrol the streets". They are one in the same and I might add some of the finest human beings I know. We have all seen in the news the heroic work they do. Stereotyping is too easy and that is why simple minds engage in it. Most Police officers are dedicated and professional and would go in harms way to protect the citizens they serve. 911 comes to mind as well as many other incidents I have witnessed.

I stand by the statement.

I don't know if you are aware of this but most of the finest citizens I know are afraid of cops. Even to ask for help. Sure they are gonna call when they get robbed, beaten up or murdered, help find a little girl or if their insurance requires a police report but the proactive stance pretty much scares people. Nobody talks to a cop like they talk to real people, I think that's why they all hang out in a cop click and take care of thier brothers. We have all seen in the news where they off just about everyone they come in contact with with out regard to any common sense. Time after time again. Let me guess, you supported Waco.
