I don't understand this problem some of you have with cops. I get along with them fine, on the few occasions we even have any interaction.
most of the time, citizen interaction with cops goes OK.
the problem comes when cops engage in misconduct. its not all that common, but it is not rare either. the problem is that with any other entity there is a means by which you can make a complaint and there is a good chance you will get a fair hearing on your complaint with a reasonable expectation that something appropriate will be done. that expectation just does not exist in the case of potential LE misconduct, especially in certain jurisdictions.
