I'm white, 62, and a veteran, exactly the sort of person you'd expect to support his local police. My wife is black, but she used to *be* a cop in Baltimore. You'd expect her to be at least a little pro-police, too.
Sadly, we've had enough bad experiences with LE that we are suspicious instead of trusting. I personally suspect that about 20% of all officers are bullying fuckheads and that the rest are okay, but that gives each encounter with one cop has a 1in 5 chance of being negative, and if you're dealing with multiple LEOs the odds of a rational encounter go down.
SO: I've registered the domain name, Keeping Police Honest, and that is the working title of the book + DVD I hope to start writing/filming after the 1st of the year.
