I agree, especially with your "different type of person" comment. Some folks who choose to occupy the role have a very military (perhaps because they were in the armed forces) look which can also be intimidating, marine style haircuts, tattoos, Oh! and the terminator sun glasses that seem to be so popular.
These are just observations in case somebody wants to throw feces at me. I have a great deal of respect for the police, I'm just turned off by the image being projected in recent years.
