While I concur with your sentiment and got a chuckle out of it I often feel as a law enforcement officer that I am an endangered animal on this board.

I am conservative but there are many freepers who seem to view me as the enemy. You can read almost any thread regarding drugs or firearms on this board and find plenty of statements that fit right into the stereotype you correctly suggested.

As long as you're not one of those cops that acts like a 'roided up ten-year-old, you'll get plenty of respect around here. My father is a retired 30-year police officer and he is disgusted by much of the new breed of "law enforcement" officers.

Thanks for your hard work. I've got a number of friends that are police officers and I have a lot of respect for them, along with coming to the conclusion that police are pretty conservative and pragmatic. Dealing every day with people at their worst, and with the worst people, fosters that type attitude, I think.

Being a conservative, pragmatic guy....I get along pretty well with them.

Whenever people say that they don't have respect for the police, I always wonder what the entire story is....did they have a single bad experience, or is there a skeleton in the closet that they'd like to keep there?
