Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 435400, member: 716"] Sounds like a significant number of cops in D.C. and Syracuse. I know this rubs some people the wrong way - there's a knee-jerk desire on the part of some to give the badge-wearers some enhanced level of support and gratitude - but far too many cops I've encountered in my personal and professional life have conducted themselves really badly. It's a systemic problem; for someone else who said that this sentiment is what's wrong with America, no - this is something that's very wrong with America. For whatever little it's worth, my grandfather was a New York City cop. Worked in the Bowery for 25 years (when that was not the same neighborhood it is today). And he saw a lot of what I see.
