I will have to reiterate what others have said in that there is no such thing as absolutely unconditional trust and support.

If I interpret the question as I think you really meant it, then yes, I do tend to support the police until proven otherwise as I generally think they have a tough job and do it well but as was mentioned earlier, in any one group of people there are good and bad. I like to think that there are far more good than bad, but....

Football players, some are good, some are bad. Milkmen (if they still exist), some are good, some are bad. Grocery clerks, accountants, teachers, garbagemen, appliance repairmen, engineers... In any of those groups, and countless others you will find good people and bad. We hope that police forces do their best to weed out the bad, but it's just not always possible.

I think most police get into it for a genuine reason and some get soured by what they see.

I haven't always been an angel and I can still say that I have had more positive interactions with police than negative. Far more. Even a few times, many moons ago, when I didn't deserve to be treated respectfully I was.

I'm going off on a tangent now, but if I have taken your question for what I think you are trying to ask correctly; yes, I generally support the RCMP.
