Just because I do one thing at work doesn't mean I don't get poor police service when I need something...just the other day I did and I won't go into detail about it.

I think if the situation was bad enough it would be a "civil war" type of scenario. I have no doubt there would be horrible violence in the streets. I hope you understand that myself, and probably every other cop on here, would be right by your side in the fight to restore the country we love to put it back together.

well as I've heard others point out, the U.S. has weathered tough times before. But this has been as bad as it's been since I was a baby.

Sure, gas is over $4 a gallon, but there are no lines around the block to get it.

funny sidenote .... watched good will hunting the other day. in the film he says "And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon." I laughed out, and loud. $2.50 gas would be great right now.

we'll get through this, but whether it'll get worse before it gets better... I don't know.

From the aftermath of katrina, news items and videos of civilian/police interactions and posts from leos I've been seeing on other boards, the us vs. them gap is very real, and getting wider little by little.

But even with the chance that things could get really bad, I am still filled with hope... because of your last paragraph
