LEO's are supposed to be helpful and protective, that's their job. If you feel there needs to be a "Hey thanks for meeting expectations" thread, go right ahead, but I don't find that a necessary or fruitful discussion.

They have broader powers than average citizens, and the fact that horrifying abuses of those powers keep happening, and are so widespread, indicates yes, there is a problem in the system.

The best way I know to find solutions to problems is to closely examine them, spotlight them, and discuss them instead of sweeping them under the "it's just a couple of rogue people, not systemic" rug.

500 cops doing a good job does not erase a single dead or tortured innocent.
