New I know where you're coming from...
...but I think you're making the mistake of taking your own experience and extrapolating it out to the general case. It's tempting to do, but wrong.

The police around me (in rural North Yorkshire) are all really approachable and friendly; I don't, however, take that to be how they are in nearby inner-city Middlesbrough.

New When I strayed into slums of New York
(I can count the number of times on my fingers - I am not too adventurous), the rare cops that I happened to see there were not friendly and approachable. They were tense. Battlefield kind of tense, I'd say.

Overall, I have agree with [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=190156|Jay], and add that the post in question was a case of "idiot left winger"
