lol i dont tend to perform a background check or give that much fore-thought into who im dealing with on a personal level when being approached in a professional sense
if a cop comes up to me, they are a cop. they represent the government and are therefor an extension of that. they can be nice and smiling all they want, but in the end they are still a government employee
also, im a member of the US army (as a reservist) and while there are a few i have met who have truly felt the call of duty and pride associated with their work, they are few and far between. seems like most of them are just there for the pay check and could give two ****s honestly (at least what i have seen, maybe thats the reason behind my resentment for anything government related, the bureaucracy and inefficiency involved irritates me, especially when advancement based on merit takes a back seat to supposed tenure)
