Or could it be that some of us recognize that you can on the one hand say that there are disturbing trends in LE these days while at the same time appreciating (even more!!) the good ones we do have?
Exceptions don't disprove rules. Just because there are (many!!) excellent officers of the law out there does not mean we aren't witnessing a sea change in the industry that is extraordinarily disturbing for those who love individual liberty and the rule of law vs "might makes right".
Furthermore, LEs here on this site (the majority of whom seem to me to be exceptional) need not take it personally. I am a banker, but don't take it personally when the very legitimate concerns are raised here about the unfortunate direction my industry is heading. Indeed I bear witness to it every day and do what I can to slow the trend, so I don't take it as an attack when someone here criticizes bankers.
Very well said indeed.
