I honestly appreciate that so many people call about things cops do that are wrong. Though, it should be a full notice not "I saw this bad thing, but the reason." I mean how many times have I seen cops flip lights on blow past a couple cars run the red light then slow right back down turn off the lights and go about their day. The abuse of power, in many officers, is absolutely sickening to me. You do seem like you'd be one of the halfway decent ones. But it's extremely hard for me ever give the benefit of a doubt to a cop because I've grown up to hate you guys so much. I was raised in new haven where no cop ever did a helpful for us or anyone I knew, and abusive behavior towards me my friends and others that I knew really tainted my view.

I do understand that there are times you need to be on your laptop or a screen in general. And as I said before you do seem to be responsible in how you do it, or at least claim to be with solid points. But I do get the sense many officers are just doing personal calls and texts while driving. I mean, the amount of times I've seen one who is supposed to be directing traffic, just chit chatting with a wife or gf is very high. ( Based on overheard conversation)

I feel like I've gotten off track here. But I can say that although I have a hard time appreciating your people, I do appreciate the attitude you have about screen use, and the way you seem to handle it. If more cops were like you, maybe more people would like them.

Also, I'd like to use this opportunity to say, badges aren't made of copper anymore, and since now they are nickel and brass mostly. I'd like to petition to change the nickname "cops" to "nicks" or "brassies"....that is all.
