Thanks so much

You’re welcome.

Such a rebel

Not really, just observing what’s becoming common abuse in the interest of bad actors.

black and white

Well, this is, pretty much. Yeah, I’m aware there are different situations, though it’s funny how a good deal of them end up in abuse. The second sentence is about your attempt to dress my view, which is commonly shared for good reason, as faux moral outrage when it seems to be a fact. There’s more bad in there than good, demonstrably. It isn’t faux moral outrage anywhere, it’s a simple fact.

Every time they pull you over and ask you if you’ve been ‘in trouble with the police before’, it’s an indication of their desire to intimidate and bully.

Here’s the point though; many of these people make the decision on this career for the simple reason they are narcissistic bullies who want a career that protects their actions. Quite a few who join it for the good reasons leave the service.
