(22,755 posts)for a bit... a conversation with one of the more "interesting" fellow officers one day... he stated "...the difference between them and us... they got caught"
around us, there are all kinds of people and personalities
also, my daughter worked as a police officer for a number of years (Homeland Security now- I would believe she was switched at birth, but it was a home birth with no other babies being born there) and the stories from her and the people I met helped me understand that not all cops are good...
also, my partner tells stories of growing up a white kid in a predominantly Black neighborhood (Rhode Island) he has no love of cops from what he saw and experienced
also, many personal stories from my years working on the road, going into all different neighborhoods... I witnessed a lot of the everyday actions by police in "the projects" and elsewhere

(15,995 posts)the cops are widely distrusted.
My level of trust for any cop (already low) is nonexistent now.
Perhaps more training and more psychological screening to weed out the violent element is necessary.
