Just because someone says that they have seen "very good men crack" doesn't even imply bias unless someone is looking to be offended. It sounds like an actual observation to me anyway. If bias is showing at all, it's most evident in your assumptions.

point taken, thank you.
I allowed my emotions to take charge. It is unsettling to see how so many of our fine LEOs are treated in many cases. Have seen countless videos/stories of LEO treatment in restaurants or such.
If you haven't seen some of the pictures/videos this year of "protests", riots etc - and the violence and disrespect to our police and First Responders, well. That is so disturbing and easy to be emotional. Especially when you're a Law Enforcement supporter (despite the few 'bad apples'). As I said before I put myself in the shoes of others, and could not just "stand there" and take the abuse that some LEOs are subjected to. Or walking up to a vehicle that you have legally stopped, and concerned for your life - and need to react to anything in .3 seconds - or....
Truly - there IS a thin blue line between us law abiding citizens and anarchy - and those that want to loot, destroy, injure, kill. Only proper effective law enforcement can enforce the law (don't get me started on some jurisdictions in the country - no bail, releasing offenders, etc...).
We have a Thin Blue Line within our shores to keep us safe, as we have that Line worldwide with our Military strength and foreign policies to keep us safe. If either of those fail, well...
So, yes her heartfelt video hit my emotions. And yes I am worried for our country, with all the violence and mayhem. And, if this is not subdued somewhat, I am worried about the next few months. For all of us in the USA. Pleased that our TV 'bubble' is somewhat protective, but family nationwide...
