There certainly differences between law enforcement in cities vs rural areas, but it's also not like Maine has a monopoly on rural, tight-knit communities.  There's a lot of rural America out there.  But, I bristle, in general, to the generalization that is often made in popular culture of law enforcement.

Rural cops are ten times worse than urban cops.  169% of the time.

Talking from direct experience, here.


Some are, some aren't.

Of course.  Of course.

RWHN is now an expert on police.

As I said before, I've worked with many police departments in my career, local, state, and federal, so yeah, I think I have a pretty good working knowledge.

I have worked with many EMTs.  This makes me an expert on EMTs.

Well, given that I haven't worked with a lot of EMTs, I certainly would put more stock in your experience compared to my own.

I worked in a home improvement store in Portland, Oregon

Shut up, Roger... just because you used to be a police officer doesn't mean you know anything! Certainly not compared to someone who works with rural Maine police sometimes.

I see, you two (and I think ECH too) seem to want to start up another pissing match with me, but call it Holiday Spirit, jadedness, or simply being in a place where I simply don't give a fuck, I am not going to indulge you guys. I am simply sharing what I've observed andmy opinion that I think the overly-cynical "the police are all corrupt" viewpoint is, well, overly cynical.  Take it or leave it, but I'm not going to play stupid games with you guys.  Go find a noob to bludgeon to get your hate out.

I accept this fact.  It's intuitively obvious.
