What’s that got to do with anything? My point is that merely being in uniform is no guarantee of righteousness.
>>Do you remember the Indian woodcarver

>Yes, are you claiming he gave Dorner permission to go on a killing spree?
Um, honestly, where would you even get that idea?
It was an illustration of the point that just because someone is wearing a uniform doesn’t make them not-a-thug; there are plenty of recent and semi-recent [1.5 decades] events that certainly justify a default stance of “I don’t trust the police” — just coming to mind: Waco, Ruby Ridge, the woodcarver, the costco guy (the one where all the video vanished after it was sent to ‘be processed’), the motorcycle guy, the AZ marine (you remember, the one where the video showed the SWAT bunched around the door one guy practically tip-toeing to get his shots in) and many more (just in this incident the newspaper delivery & surfboard-guy).
In fact, the last two incidents there prove the Law Enforcement were not concerned with the safety of the general populous. Take a look at the pictures of those vehicles (those are only the holes where they hit the vehicle) what about all the other rounds? No, these “police” were waging war and they were unconcerned with anyone else who might be in the area.
I’m not saying that Dorner was a good-guy; what I’m saying is I do not trust the police — and neither do a LOT of other people. But, hey, “Law Enforcement” has been going that direction for YEARS, they have truly worked hard for the distrust heaped upon them.
You stated, "just because hes a uniformed officer doesnt mean hes a good-guy." Do you believe Dorner asked his victims if they were good guys before murdering them?
Um, honestly, where would you even get that idea?
You brought it up for what reason? To justify Dorner's killing of 4 innocent people?

Nor do those relatively few incidents make all LEOs thugs. Does it?
these police were waging war
That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.
I do not trust the police
Under present day circumstances why would the police trust you?
