Sad isn't it? Believe it or not I remember the days - when the police in Montreal & on the South Shore - were considered friends who had your best interests at heart and were trusted almost beyond measure. These days I wonder if any municipality is able to make that claim. What are they teaching our 'protectors' these days; anyone know - re ethics - etc..?

I don't think so. When adrenaline gets running, you can do a lot and not even think about it. Police are always running on adrenaline when they have to deal with issues. It's a rough job.

Agreed. But, cynicism gains momentum for a reason.
