Quoted from yzfguy:I'm not going to argue about it, because it's exhausting. It just disgusts me to see this talk becoming mainstream and accepted by so many.
yzfguy -- I've lived in 3 different busy towns in NJ and have had very positive experiences with the local police forces. Just recently an officer rang my doorbell and warned me about locking my car door on the driveway. He was going door to door advising all the homes. We went to look at my wife's car and the door was unlocked and I told him everything looked fine. But then he explained to me that petty thieves walk around neighborhoods looking for open doors and stealing whatever cash people leave. They avoid taking anything else because they don't want to be caught with physical evidence. The police force was being pro active and building relationships in the neighborhood.
Unfortunately, whether it's the press, forums or social media, most people are far more vocal when they want to complain about something negative. When all is good we're quiet and I'm guilty of that myself.
