Why does it only count when it's local or personal accounts? Here are some of my experiences.
My best friend was killed by Police that were in a high speed chase and ran into him, sending his car off the highway, but cops here still don't respect my view on High Speed Chases.
I witnessed BRPD officers, years ago, drug dealing to teenagers...but cops here still don't respect my views on police corruption, privileges, drug laws, and professional courtesy.
I caught the FBI or DEA following me as a teenager, because an A-hole that grew up in my neighborhood had my number in their phone/pager, but cops here still don't respect my views on privacy or government overreach.
I got targeted by a now dissolved department of the Feds with a failed setup/sting operation, because I wrote (Republican) political newsletters and they didn't like what I was writing about. Cops here still don't respect my views on baiting people for criminal charges, federal overreach, or selective law enforcement.
I "took a class", and it makes me know less than anyone else on the whole forum...so why would I think that a personal account would change the minds of the forum cops?
We agreed on Asset Forfeiture, I thought, but we ignore its abuse and the things that allow it to be abused?
Nothing I've talked about is a personal attack on LEAs, and after all of the above experiences, and more, I still truly believe that most of them intend to be decent and good people.
Most people go through life without any experiences with law enforcement other than a traffic stop. You sir have had many, maybe it’s not a LE problem, maybe it’s a you problem.
