TBO,

You have to admit that a lot of LEO's and entire police departments for that matter distance themselves from the public at large.

Then again, I guess that kind of happens in most places. People generally become friends with the people they work with. It is kind of tough in this situation.

As far as getting hit with a 2 lb. rock, probably worse happened to me in grade school. Hell, my brother once used an aeresol can in high school as a flame thrower and the police didn't get called. Then again, he didn't set anybody on fire either.

Quite honestly, I don't think 911 should have been called whatsoever in this matter. Even wasting one officer's time was too much. I put the first blame on the school system, next on the 911 operator, and last on the LEO's for actually charging this girl.

Oh well, that is just my opinion. My bigger worry with Law Enforcement is 5 miles down the street from me where they confiscated this guys 41 gun collection and haven't given it back yet. I might have to look at that file once everything is said and done.

As an aside, what really kills me is that more officers were killed in auto accidents over the last 10 years than with firearms, but nobody is enforcing vehicle laws very strictly.
