Rachel..
Not at all....what I wrote was general and NOT specific towards any particular poster. Seems that a majority of police centered posts are negative. We have to ask ourselves why? Out of the 60 men and women on my shift, there are 2 that are complete pricks. Sometimes, in Detroit we HAVE to be. Why? element, attitude, location, condition, circumstance. Justified? maybe. If most of you walked in our shoes and just understood why we react to what you do, you would have better clarification to cause and effect.
It is easy to vent here and stereotype police and get away with it because there is free reign to say what you want.
No, I am not at all taking any particular post personal. Hell, I work in Detroit 60-80 hours a week..I have more important issues than to vocalize or criticize a member here. Only being general. I re-read the last sentence in my post you refer to...I understand it appears I am upset at him, not at all.
I jumped the gun and misread another topic/post and kind of went off on tangents and I was wrong. I didn't read it thoroughly.
