Steve,
Firstly, thanks for what you do. Many things are expected of police that I would loathe doing, and for what you do, you're vastly underpaid.
But don't
you get peeved when you see some newbie enjoying his badge a little too much putting the public offside? I assume you senior guys pull such guys into line behind the scenes, but if Joe Public's
only interaction with the cops is unpleasent, then he perceives that
every interaction is unpleasent.
Cops need trust from the public to do their work. It worries me when that trust is eroded.
