I occasionally try to help out a group that develops, or more appropriately raises the visibility of safe havens. A large number of the folks who do more there than I do are police officers. That is part of my experience with cops. Another part is from when I got pulled over for speeding. The cop was polite, respectful, professional. I can't say I was happy about the incident, but have no reason to malign the force based on his behavior. Is there any thing I have seen that would convince me that a vast majority of cops are behaving in a manner that is diametrically opposed to my experience? Nope. A few are. Those few need to be weeded out in the same legal and civilized fashion that poor teachers or doctors are. If we resort to vigilante justice and kangaroo courts we're no better than those we condemn.
