Howdy Folks!
Here is the other side of the coin! A real positive LEO encounter from Oceanside California:

I tend to be pro-cop because they are our partners in keeping peace in our communities. I've noticed there are some negative attitudes on forums such as ours, and I know there are some cops who earned those negative attitudes because of their behavior. The cop who behaves in a felonious manner, seen in dash cam videos from Canto Ohio, is one glaring example. But it must be remembered that he is a particularly abhorrant abberation in the law enforcement community. The average cop is a dedicated professional that takes up a perilous job to serve their community and fellow citizens. Those dedicated and honorable men and women who serve their community seldom recieve kudos from citizens for a job well done. The bad apple in the barrel seems to get all the attention, like that guy in Canton. But I am certain the vast majority of men and women who wear the badge are just as appalled as we when something like that happens.
Now here is a cop encounter to show the other side of the spectrum. Here is a cop making a stop to check out an individual with a handgun. We may argue whether he had RAS to stop the citizen or not, and that's another issue for another time. The point here is that the cop behaved professionally and the contact with the citizen was terrific. The citizen, for his own part, also handled this encounter very well. The officer in this video appears to be a great cop and handles the incident extremely well.
When the day arrives that I experience an LEO encouter, I just hope I meet an officer with the same degree of professionalism. From what I can see, this was a real great encounter for both the officer and the citizen. Well done to the officer from Oceanside!
Blessings,
