I fear them far less than the cops, and this is a great improvement over LA. Like I said, every time I've had need of the police in almost 50 years they only made things worse, never resolved any issues, cost me a lot of extra money because of their involvement, and were consistently assholes about it every step of the way.

So, your sainted father cop never in 30 years saw any corruption in the department, well that’s really cool, but not that many of us can live in Mayberry.
