I don't know any, NOW. But my uncle and grandfather were police officers when I was growing up. I didn't know anyone at all that ran afoul of the law or who was in prison. I have observed that both Uncle Paul, my dad's younger brother and my grandfather, all of his life were law abiding. Uncle Paul could drink beer pretty well with the rest of the German family, but I don't recall my grandfather drinking at all. Certainly no drugs for either of them.

We often feel comfortable with situations that we have some personal reference to. That may be the reason I am inclined to believe that this awful hatred extending to many innocent police officers and other races is wrong and very, very, unfair and sad.
The point I was trying to make ( a poor attempt I guess), the generalization of the media. Not all media.......
