So you trust that poll more than "the media"? Good to know in light of:
Right, if they don't feel that way locally, why do they feel that way nationally? What institution could be plying that propaganda?
The institution of paranoia.
I think it's really an issue of anonymity. If you don't know the community and if the community does not know you it doesn't make for a good working relationship of mutual trust and respect, same as any other working environment. The best thing a police officer can do wrt his community is get out of his police car.
