As a private citizen, I've had 95% great dealings with the local cops. They even caught the guy who burgled my house nearly 20 years ago--and got my stuff back! And were funny (Detective Touk, I think his name was--hilarious guy)! They've always been here for me. As a reporter, that number drops (mostly due to covering a couple of protests/riots), but not by much. Now, having said that, I'm a middle class white woman, and it's possible I might have had a different experience if I weren't.
