As you pointed out, although to be sure there are some LEOs out there crooked as heck, there are a great many more of them who are smart, respectful of our country and our laws, and seeks to do the best job they possibly can, and really are there to “serve” and “Protect” as best as they can possibly be expected to...

Well, as soon as you see one of these "smart, respectful" LEOs let me know since every single one I have run into over the years was a fascist bully with a badge.

Well, I can name one off the very top of my head — Sheriff Bill Masters in Colorado (not sure if he’s still serving, last I spoke with him was about 7 years ago). And, I’ve known several others personally during my life — ones I’ve known as friends.

Several I had gotten to know as “regular customers” years ago. You can pretty much tell which people are those with “attitude” and too much testosterone, but then that’s true of the “civilian” regulars I came into contact with as well during my job as a waitress in a restaurant/neighborhood bar... There are good and bad in EVERY group you could place humans into.

I don’t doubt that there are many out there with an attitude, that’s for sure (ran into a few myself over the years). However, I KNOW there are “good cops” out there as well.

I will say the LEOs I’ve gotten to know pretty well, were for the most part “higher-ups” (Sheriffs, Captains, Detectives) and that sort.

I also got to know a great many LEOs, and other various legal and justice support folks back in Colorado, and in my experience they went far out of their way to help myself and my family through a horrendous ordeal (being involved on the “victim” side of a couple crimes will also change some opinions if you’re lucky enough to be served by COMPETENT people within the Law Enforcement and Justice System).

I would just caution thinking that all members of a chosen profession are bad isn’t a good idea, just as I would caution that thinking all members of a chosen profession were good...
