Actually, no. I come from a small town (pop. 3500) and knew all the police officers locally very well. My few incidents with law enforcement were almost all of my own doing and dealt with on a very civil level. My mindset comes from the multitudes of ignorance, negligence, malfeasance, and outright violations of laws and civil rights of citizens that are perpetrated on a near daily basis by law enforcement agents and the perpetual blanket of protection that those who violate their oaths are provided by city, county, state, and federal bodies of government as well as the courts of all the aforementioned.

If the courts, whose sole duty is to protect the rights of the people against the machinations of the government, are willing participants in the subjugation of the populace, then it's our responsibility to right those wrongs.
