These are your words:

"the majority of people in rural Washington or rural Georgia from those days".

How am I misrepresenting your proposition when I say that this is demonstrably false? Some people? Sure. The majority? No.

I looked at the CSPOA about page. Seems pretty reasonable to me:

"Society seems to be polarized into two camps. One loves the police, and the other hates us. It may be partially due to the fact that some peace officers, and some training modules seem to foster the belief that we are somehow “better” than the people we serve.

This can lead to a “badge heavy” attitude, and sometimes to the excessive use of force. This must not continue. We must eliminate any training or behavior that tarnishes the badge, including the “code of silence”.

I'm not sure what point are you trying to make. That the police are imperfect? I know that. Here's an article I wrote on the subject:

Shall we talk about policing in the 50s and compare?
