As a retired LEO about 10 years ago, lately i have seen too much horrible policing. Even though it's probably a minority of 20 percent or sonof the cops it's being made evident that poor hiring practices, poor liberal policy, wokeness amd a general willingness in some places for the police to be allowed to act like tyrants has tainted the entire group. It's like we regressed to the 70s again. It really needs to be fixed. I still know some good ones but they group as a whole doesn't get the patriot lable to me. The patriot is the guy stands up for freedom, not the guy who uses authority to get those they dont like or agree with politically. I point out the fbi, atf, dea, d.c. police who instigated on Jan 6 etc.
