It is really odd the mentality of some people. See around here if a LEO stops you its usually to say hi, or ask how your kids are doing. (and we don't even have a local police force, we are aided by the state police and other localities.) For a change of attitude, next time you see a LEO, stop and ask him his name introduce yourself and how things are going. It if harder to be a dick to someone when you know them and their family. Instead of hating the police force, get involved in the community, go to township meetings, meet the counselors and the other officials. Get to know the guys on the force. I know some can be dicks, but if you know the others and they know you, it deflates the dicks. I don't know all of them personally but they know who I am.
