Personally, with me, it's a bit of the other way around. Officers up here have less of that whole corruption dealio going on that the states do. And, the shooting up in Nova Scotia hit home. Officers in general up here are quite nice, and it really sucks when they get into trouble like up in Moncton. I remember a few years ago in Alberta, four officers were killed when they went to investigate a man's property with a warrant and they were picked off by the guy with a sniper rifle one by one. Now more than ever it's hard to be a good police officer because of their bad rep and the "one bad apple effect" that is circulating around right now.
