I have been on this from for a little while now and often hear a common voice in discussions I do not care for. Honestly as a First Responder I sometimes take offense to it. I understand what this from is about and believe in that. I also understand many of theses posts are written after a negative LEO encounter and am ok this. I also understand because I work as a Firefighter and EMT my stereotype of police will be more positive than other and admit this. However I am sometimes sadend to see a common voice in this from is to label every LEO as a bad guy or some kind of evil in the world.
Not every LEO is a bad guy, not every LEO thinks that OC is a bad thing, not every LEO is hell bent on making our day a living hell. Yes there are many of them who need to understand there job is the enforce the law and not what they think the law should be. There are many many of them who need to understand what exatcly the RCWs state before they initiate contact with us. And there just a lot of bad cops out there. But you know what, there are also bad Firefighters, bad EMTs, bad Doctors, bad garbage men, we have bad everything in this world. I hate to see us so quickly put everyone into one category so quicly.
Police do not have a easy job, we all watch the news we should know this. I want to go on record for saying Thank you! to all of the brave Police Officers who may be reading this. Honeslty try and think about how much worse this wolrd would be with out them. And think if we all showed them a little more respect and helped them out once and a while like showing them a DL or carry permit when we dont legaly have to would go a long way in helping to bridge the gap between us. You can argue its your legal right not to show them them a peice of paper or have a freindly discussion with them unless you are beging detained, and you may very well be legaly corect to do so. Lets think about it from there side for a moment. Lets try and think about all the calls they have already been on that day and how much they may really appreciate a cooperative MWG. Show a Police Officer a peice of paper or stopping for a few moments to answer a few questions just isnt a big deal. I have not done anything wrong in my life, I do not have anything to hide or be afrade of.
I apologise if you are offended by this or just want to lable me as wrong and I may take a lot of flak for this on the from but that is my personal opinion. And the great thing about living in America is I get to have it and voice it. I would love to see posts of peolpe who agree that notevery LEO is a enemy.
