Has anyone on this thread ever had a positive experience with a policeman?
Outside of touring the police station as a cub scout -
I’ve had my share of BS tickets, and of course, the police assaulted a few friends of mine - so net - I’m well in the red as far as cops go.
Give me concealed carry, and the rest of our population the same, and a bunch of the bad guys end up with lead poisoning - what do I need cops for?
Seriously - are they stopping gangs? No. Are they stopping drugs? No.
Who has actual experience of them doing SOMETHING.
This is extortion. We should welcome the fight.

I worked alongside policemen and police women for almost 20 years. I went on many night rides. I watched them sitting around relaxing and in situations where their lives were threatened.
Yes, there were a few bad cops. But most of them were good, decent people with a powerful love for their country and community. I don’t know the reasons for your sour attitude, but as someone who has literally sat next to dozens of local police, country sheriffs, and state troopers, I’d say you’re far off the mark.
I can either believe your words or my eyes.
I had one positive experience with a county deputy. About 2:30 AM I was on my way home from work (night shift), and out in the middle of a county road is this deputy trying to get about a dozen cows to go back through an open gate to their pasture. He wasn't having much luck. We got them all ran down the ditch to one side of the gate, I tied a tow strap to the gate and the bumper of the truck and positioned it to funnel them in, and then he ran them back toward the gate, and in they went.
He was a very nice man, and we had a very pleasant converstion afterward.
