So first - good advice on an anonymous call.

Second, again, I'm very glad that the people with a good opinion of what is going to happen have that good opinion. It means that, if you are an officer, your department might be quite good. If you are a civilian, you might live in an area where the PD/SO etc is also very good. Wait till you run into a department with arrest quotas tied to promotions. Or a politically motivated "War on something"

I think its pretty easy to say that a police officer who lives in one place and spends 30 years in a good department is more out of touch with the reality of bad cops than someone who has lived in 30 places East Coast/West Coast, and Middle.

Everyone has the right to believe whatever they want, but that doesn't make them correct or even right. We have to respect that other people have the right to their opinion, but we also reserve the right to express that your opinion is completely wrong and not based upon fact.

THIS. I cannot count how many times I hear the phrase "RP requests no contact with responding officers."


Forgive me, but I have a hard time believing this. Not accusing you of lying or anything, but I think you're embellishing or perhaps omitting some pretty vital facts.
