I have to agree with you. After 32 years in law
eforcement, I can definitely say that the times
have changed....just look at the streets today.
When I started, we patroled alone, had revolvers,
had no ballistic vests. Dope was pretty much what
you called a person of low intelligence. Now, a
officer leaves for work wondering if he will come
home. I agree that there are some bad cops, and
some bad incidents....but the average guy in blue
is just like the rest of us....he has worries,
family, hobbies..A Lot of them are shooters like
the rest of this board...Don't judge the masses
by the actions of a few!
