I wish I could believe people would ‘hunt’ them but I get a bad image of some semi-psychotic or obsessive chasing cops who ARENT part of these drug raids or with any record or allegation of abuse or corruption.

The reasonable but still outraged folks like us rarely act. It’s usually some disturbed individual with less ability to discriminate and make intelligent and morally informed decisions that does. Which will, in turn, cause people to irrationally gravitate to the defense of even the worst cops.

That is why the respect issue has to go both ways. Aside from this SWAT stuff trashing the Posse comitatus doctrine, the civilians affected will only have fear and contempt afterwards, winning the lottery or not.

Respect also begins with respect for the people paying the LEO's wages. This starts by little things like READING THE ADDRESS, and not using plea-bargaining junkies as reliable sources, nor declaring Open Season on household pets.

This has to stop or it will be stopped one way or the other, even if it is something as peaceful as utterly bankrupting municipalities.
