First of all let me say this it saddens me for the Policeman: What you say is all very true To me and I speak Of the good Policeman that do all they can when they are allowed to do their Job for their Safety also...I think the people who is going to break the law the really bad ones deserve what they get....and yes the ones that yell Police hide behind the Police where else would their be a better place for them to hide.....The Police is inbedded in Politics also to a degree..and are limited...and there is a difference ...if a Policeman could do his Job knowing what needs to be done without having to be under such laws that limit them and alot of times this puts them in danger....I could go on about the realm of Policeman..The bad Policeman make it hard on the good ones..
