Translated (I know I use it but I am STILL THINKING of how to get out of the mess I am in).
What mess am I in? You and I are on different pages here. ;-) I have to say, I don’t tend to use that particular term. I’m also not a cop-hater, if that’s what you’re trying to say (though I have come across crooked cops, and I’m not happy with it; neither should anyone else be.)
I don’t like arguing this much with anyone on this forum. We’re all supposed to be on the same side. We can agree to disagree on certain cases. This will have to be one of those cases. I just don’t see it the way you do. I think a suburban mom and the police dept. are overreacting.
