Sorry Charlie as a law abiding citizen but no angle, I for one have very little respect for those wearing police uniforms.

Belmont Resident,
Don't let the reports of the bad cops ruin it for all the good ones in your belief system.
I know and have talked with many cops over the years. Some of which I have been proud to have called friends. Certainly there are bad eggs but no more then any other profession.
People seem to believe that cops should have a higher standard then everyone else. And when they are on the Job, that is true. However off the Job they are just like everyone else.
And at the end of the day like anyone else they are human.
I can understand Ryan's comments, knowing that someone was a cop, I to would stand in disbelief if I felt like I was trying to be bullied with the fact. I would expect more of any person... Bullying is not the way to conduct business police officer or not.
I think this is a said thing that has happened, I see plenty of fault to go around. I think it is great of Ryan to have taken the time to post here, and give a complete rounded version of the story.
