Some recent threads have brought the "us-vs-them" mentality to the surface again. I point out that this attitude is prevalent on LEO forums, some LEOs think this attitude is prevalent here.
The fact remains that the thin blue line exists--cops protect cops and if citizens express a distrust of cops we are accused of cop bashing. LEOs have a certain control and power that can make our lives less than pleasant.
Do you really think it is wise to trust law enforcement? I find it hard to make that argument.
