Unfortunately, there are people who live in areas where a significant percentage of the local constabulary are not nice guys. People who live in those areas and experience it first hand tend to think it is that way everywhere becasue that is pretty much all they know.

Anyhow, to those who are unfamiliar with all the uproar over LEO229's "oppressive" thread locking, here's a quick and exaggerated summary of how the threads went down:
OP: *posts interesting story that casts LEOs in a negative light*
LEO229: I agree, those particular police officers overstepped their boundaries.
Poster1: All you cops are scum of the earth! You should all be shot!
Poster2: Yeah doughnut boy! How do you reply to that?
LEO229: Hey guys, I'm on your side. Here, let me calmly provide answers to your off-topic and offensive generalizations about everyone in my profession...
Poster1: You're a stupid cop! Because all cops are stupid! Get a real job!
Poster2: Yeah, whatever you say doesn't matter. You like beating little kids who touch your police car.
LEO229: Guys, this is getting off-topic. But I'll indulge your cop-bashing and answer it...
Poster1: Look! He's losing! That's why he's saying it's off-topic!
Poster2: Nazi! Nazi! Nazi! Nazi! Sieg heil, 229!
LEO229: *locks thread*
