THAT is my experience with police officers that I know.
But...I personally do not have any dealings with them when they are on duty and I would like to keep it that way. I like being naïve and law abiding..

Oh, GracieGirl. It is quite a different experience you will see from when you have LEO's talking to law abiding citizens like yourself and what actually goes on in the real world around the trash and riff-raff. Neither myself, my wife or my son are racists; and consequently, we have always treated everyone we came in contact with the same respect they treated us. Was I and is my wife and son more aware and more observant when we had/have to go into certain areas more than others? Of course we were. But we didn't/don't pour fuel on the fire just to show our authority.
People in TV need to do a ride-along with a LEO just to get a little taste of what it's really like. It's sure not like what you see on C.S.I, Law and Order, etc., etc.
