What about the at least FOUR times I can think of when police treated me/mine with compassion, kindness, and wisdom? What about THAT baggage? About which you know ZIP? I tell you what I do know: your words betray you as what I would call a "bully" cop compared to the many "good" cops I ALSO know.
As for " baggate" -- what about your own with regard to the people cops are supposed to serve and protect rather than shoot or harm? As for "baggate" -- when I was 21, one of them ripped his own uniform and LIED to the judge, saying I was the one who tore it. Fortunately for me, the judge was wise to the cop. Otherwise I would be a felon right now. Thanks to that lying cop.
I am sure you are a power-tripping bully who has no place in law enforcement. Whether or not you are a "decent" person is entirely beside the point. What you ARE is someone who thinks civil servants should be civil MASTERS.
baggage ... not baggate. Oh well. But DoughtyOne, YOU ARE A BOOTLICKER or A JACKBOOT WHO LIKES THEM LICKED. Your own words make it crystal clear. You, dear, are the one with the baggage.
Finny, it’s a little late for you to play the “I’m a big fan of cops, honest...” card.
I do thank you for the entertainment value.
