I originally thought the post was intended to stir up the feelings you were worried about. For that, I apologize. It does seem that with the reimagining of police departments and the relaxation of the general guidelines to instill uniformity in the look of the officers has lessened the respect the public has for them. There was a time when undercover officers had to adopt a certain look to fit the group they were infiltrating. Now, just take off the uniform and they pretty much fit the image. So, I get you.
