No one like cops or lawyers, until they need one.

I literally had an occasion when a woman who had had 2-drinks-too-many at a party in DC went on a 10 minute tirade against “all you lawyers,” then she got a cell phone call that her daughter had been arrested for drunk driving after an accident, and she came pleading “Help Me, Help Me. What do we do!?!?!?!”

(PS, the kid was only.01 over the limit. We got it reduced to reckless with a 24 months records expungement, she paid a BIG fine, and never drank and drove again.)

I have no trouble with what cops and lawyers are suppose to do. But I have a major problem with how both are trained.

Lawyers are trained in law school how to twist the law not how to respect it. Police are trained in a Us vs Them mentality.

Some wet behind the ears patrolman referred to my Nephew in law (career Marine, Staff Sargent, five combat tours) as a "civilian" who could not possibly understand the pressure he was under. This was after said patrolman had a screaming fit when their very elderly Boston Terrier snuffed at him from behind the closed back window of the car.

There are those of both trades that rise above their training. They seem to be becoming the exception rather then the rule.

If you want me to have respect for the professions then they need to change their training methods.

I see no sign that will happen or that either group gives a hoot.
