Thank you.

My professional and personal experiences with police officers have been the same as with any other people in positions of power and influence. Some use it for good and some for bad. I have worked with police officers who are helpful and worked with police officers who are assholes. I have family and friends who have been victims of police brutality and racial profiling; and I have friends and family who have been protected, served, and rescued by police. None of that range of positive and negative professional and personal experiences means that law enforcement practices are without question.
