Not that it matters in this conversation, but I've been around FR much longer than you so don't go throwing "troll" around lightly.
Regarding the "bootlicker" monicker, it means those who just continue to support any member of the force no matter the circumstances and discounting the very real instances of corruption when exposed. You say you've never done so, but your posting in this thread are nothing but....
I really didn't mean to start a flame war, I do respect the service of those who serve honorably and respect anyone (no matter their job) so long as they behave respectably.
In this case we have a dead teenager and an incompetent cop.
Carry on if you wish, but I'm finished with this conversation.
Cheers,
Lloyd
