    Funny when police investigate a domestic violence but yet look at the percentage of cops that commit the same thing.
    People are wising up to it.
    We have had this discussion-
    You have 2 types of cop-
    You have those that genuinely want to serve their community, make it a better place and want to help. They are few and far between anymore it seems.
    You have those that are the "Law Enforcement" angle- they will do their masters bidding, their 401K and kids braces are more important than your Rights, job, property or freedom.
    I know I'm going to regret wandering into this side track of this thread.....................
    But.............. ok I'll ask who are the "Masters" controlling the Police?

    And the latest domestic violence arrest of a cop that google gave me in the Metro area was on March 22, 2024:
    Denver police officer arrested for harassment, DPD said (kdvr.com)
    But you are saying the cops are getting away with it or? ?


    I'm not sure where "The Hill" falls in creditability but this article about a 2023 poll seems to suggest most Americans trust their police forces:

    62 percent in new survey trust police to do what is right all or most of the time | The Hill


    PS: Here's a news article from today about a CA cop being arrested for gun violations:

    I've had hundreds of interactions with law enforcement, both official and unofficial.

    I have met some very bad cops.

    I have met some very good cops.

    The overwhelming majority fall somewhere in the middle, and it's a fairly wide spectrum encompassing policy and personality.

    Sounds like my experience with the U.S. population as a whole. Imagine that.

    Yup. Full agreement.

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    I'm trying to dig for information. All I've been able to come up with is this spreadsheet. It's not much, it's something:

    Very interesting. 2 fatal accidents in Lincoln County in March. I'm guessing this one was not the one where the driver was impaired.

    Thanks for providing that link!

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.
