Now you've gone and done it ... and you've disappointed me greatly as well (not that I expect you to lose any sleep over it). I truly hope you were trying to be facetious.
With most people in law enforcement having that attitude, is it any wonder that independent thinkers (and yes, FFs are a very independent-thinking group) have an ingrained distrust of so-called law-enforcement officers?
I will tell you that during the 30+ years that I have lived in New York City, my encounters with law-enforcement officers, in the aggregate, have not left me with a really favorable opinion of them, primarily because of that same attitude.
