Agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY.  The cops I trust the most, are County Level deputies and smaller jurisdictions - with the exception of those cop/politicians that often wind up running the SO - thinking El Paso County....etc.

The bigger the city, the more corruption and brute force.  SOs in the mid-west are VERY different from East Coast/West Coast and Southern SOs.

I don't trust the Feds much - about as far as I can throw them.
