By the way, I appreciate your perspective in the discussion.
Because thats a large element of the problem surrounding the 'Thin Blue Line' issue, its perceived as different things by different people.
If you'd asked me 10 years ago what I thought of it my answer would be very different than the Locke who saw the actions of Police especially in the US from 2020 to now.
Its been a monumental couple years for Policing in North America. And the shift has not been good.
