What's your opinion of American law enforcement

I use to be a police officer. I would say it is inconsistent in America. Some departments receive excellent training, while some departments the quality is not there. The job attracts people with egos. You see a certain swagger among the rookies who strapped on the gun and shield for the first time and think they are hot shit and can't wait to draw their weapon for the first time, and you see the veteran guys that are gald that in reality, they probably never had to use it once their entire career.

The majority of police officers are good, well meaning men and women who are also very flawed in the same ways all humans are flawed, because like the rest of us, they are just people. Just like in any other profession you will find exceptional ones and terrible ones. Just like in any other profession, the mistakes always stand out above everything else, even though they are the minority.

I will say that regarding race, just like any other job there cerinly are racists, but they are a small minority. Also in my experience when people believe they are being singled out because of race, that is usually imagined. I was personally accused by drivers of stopping their cars because their race. The truth was in most cases Inwas oblivious to their race when I turned on my lights. I typically worked nightsz and the only thing on could see through the window was the glare of my own headlights. I really couldn't see who was driving.
