So what I am trying to say is some LEO are just as guilty of giving people a label just as we are. But when it comes to one of their own they are so quick to have their back no matter what.  |
So, if your story is true, then maybe they had done some things in the past, but was never a real bad person...they made mistakes like anyone else...they were trying to change their lives...they were applying to be police officers, that should have given you the first clue! I am sorry...I dont know your situation first hand, but sure sounds to me like you are saying "trust me even though some of my past is tarnished I have gotten past it, but dont trust them because they are just bad people."
Some LEOs label people...there is a shocker. You do realize, we are not robots, right? We have feelings, opinions, and make decisions every day. If you look at, say, teaching - and you did a survey about labeling - you might get a result that 48.3% of teachers label people. Now, do it for LEOs - probably around 48.3%...and medical care, about 48.3%.....get it?
