But I also want to recognize and thank you for noting the educational value of law enforcement related posts even if they are not directly related to CHL issues. It would be easy to just put up a hard-and-fast rule banning LE threads that don't directly relate to CHL issues. It is a testament to the continued high level at which this forum operates that you are striving for a more inclusive standard while at the same time standing firm against the rampant bashing.
I hope everyone on this forum can and will live up to these standards so we may continue to discuss such matters openly. Such threads are one of many aspects that make this forum so worthwhile.
My own personal rule of thumb: if by replacing "cops" or "police" or "LEOs" in your response with "black people" or "women" or "gays" or "Christians" or "CHL holders" or any number of other groups, you would surely incur the wrath of those groups, then your response is likely too broad and derogatory for the purposes of this forum.
If your goal is to "stir the pot" then perhaps you need to find another pot.
