After a while they get to know you and wouldn't ask for nothing just mainly come to watch and sometimes participate. Only one ever got smart with me right off the bat. the rest was always nice and always ask nice to see them. the guy that ask me to call the station ask me really nice. I don't have a problem telling an officer my name or doing what he ask within reason of course. that way i stay safe unlike some of these guys that give them a hard time and then gripe when they get taken down.
You really can't blame them for being cautious when they come and there is maybe 10 to 15 automatic weapons being fired. it usually was not just me. there was a few of us that would have shoots. Maybe i.m too soft, but i see no reason to start a conflict when there isn't one. I always found if you talk nice to them they talk nice to you. with the way people are today i really can't blame them for being cautious about everything.
all in all when the crap hits the fan and society breaks down and criminals are no longer responsible for their actions givin by democrat judges and politicians, i dang sure want the police on my side instead of the ones they have to pursue and jail.
