Works both ways, actually.

Reading the comments here.

"if you haven't been a cop for 20 years you couldn't possibly understand what it is that we do"

Officer, since you haven't been an everyday citizen for the last 20 years, I am entirely certain you've forgotten what it's like and cannot understand why I might react the way I do.

Are the police the enemy?  I might not go that far, but they definitely stopped being allies a while ago.

The recent failure to obtain open carry is a decent example.  The strongest opposition was from law enforcement professional organizations.  The fact that the cops have strong lobbyists in the capitol is extremely worrisome to me.  Seems a conflict of interest.  "We enforce the laws, pass this law," doesn't seem a proper way of doing things.
