Welcome to Amerika.

It used to be government of the people, for the people, and by the people.

Now it’s government against the people, opposed to the people, and basically hates the people.

I’d guess 90% of all gun-toting cops view the people... the citizens... with disgust, like we’re some lower form of life.

How is that any different than Russia?

This used to be our land, this used to be my land...

I agree. They deal with the 0.5% of the scum of the earth and think that the other 99.5% are the same.

I agree. They deal with the 0.5% that comprise the scum of the earth and think that the other 99.5% are the same.

You sound like a first rate nutcase. And, no, I’m not LEO.

Only those who have developed the “Us vs. them” mentality. The most obvious symptom is the use of the term “civilian” to refer to anyone who isn’t a cop. Even my Webster’s defines “civilian” as “a person not in military or naval service.”
When I retired from the Army I went back to school. I had several police science courses. I was over 40 and rode a Harley to class, showed numerous tattoos, had a beard and longish hair. The other students were young cops - short hair, clean shaven, no visible tattoos and not a Harley rider in the bunch. We got along fine until a cop would refer to “the civilians”. That riled me every time. After hearing me ask if the were in the military enough times they quit using the term in class.

Actually, I think that number is way too high an estimate. Honestly, I'd put it closer to 10-20%. That's still 10-20% too many, but of all the cops I know, there's only 1 or 2 I would put in this category.
