Corey - I respectfully disagree. Look at what the American people did in two world wars and three middle-east actions. I do absolutely agree with your statement if you substitute the word "MEDIA" for 'Most Americans'.
Looks like the Media has replaced Lawyers and attorneys as the most reviled working group in the US.

I know severely police officers and was trying to become one so I support any and all law enforcement that put their lives at risk for me and us everyday.

Some years ago, I was working security at a housing development in Boston's Mission Hill. We had a BPD detail officer with us at night. One of them, an old timer, told me how when he was a rookie they would paint their night sticks flat black so that they wouldn't register so well on film at night. That way they could beat hippies over the head with it and it was less likely to show up in the papers. Good cops are worth their weight in gold, bad ones are a toxin to society. BTW, we had to do patrols, unarmed, in places that the cops wouldn't go.

Not familiar with any places "cops wouldn't go" in Chicago, Darren, would love to hear more about BPD.

The back alleys of Mission Park, they would not go with us. This was around 1990, about the same time as the Matthew Stewart case.

Not familiar with that case (from Detroit then Chicago), but that must have been some crazy circumstance for the cops to be that afraid.

Boston was a hot wet mess in those days. Matthew Stewart murdered his pregnant wife in the neighborhood where I was working and blamed it on "a black guy". The police went nuts, jacking-up every black guy they saw; frisking random people on the street. The gangs went hunting for payback. A co-worker of mine was mobbed by the Humboldt Street Gang and stabbed 28 times while walking home from his girlfriend's house in uniform. The papers said that they thought he was a cop. I helped carry his coffin. The next week another co-worker was assaulted in a convenience store while in uniform.
