I agree 100% with Vinny's post.

There are many in law enforcement who do a thankless job and do it well.

Too bad the reputation is at times tainted by the bad apples, but given the nature of the job, perhaps it 'goes with the territory' - to coin a phrase.

Biggest problem I see is the judicial system is overloaded - too many repeat offenders let out early - or never imprisoned in the first place. That's not the cops' fault - that's the system's fault.

Lock up the bad guys and throw away the key. Sounds harsh but so are slain officers.

Thanks for the post Mike - stay safe.
