And yet I live in Memphis and find the cops in my neighborhood to be some of the best.

My theory is that smaller cities, suburban and rural communities are victimized by the cops because of job justification and a judicial bench with a false sense of priorities. They see the public as the soil in which they take root. In large cities, they don't have to take root to stay needed.

Yes, the smaller jurisdictions and the county sheriff’s departments seem to be the worst.
