The rank and file cops used to not be well-represented by the brass and the unions.  I don't know if that still holds true.  Kevin Baker, of The Smallest Minority blog, calls them "the only ones ...." because the anti-gunners among them believe they're "the only ones" who are capable and responsible ::snort:: enough to keep and bear arms.  Then they're caught behaving in ways that one would judge them as being "the only ones" who should be disarmed.

I've been retired from law enforcement for 10 years now.  I know the cops I worked with didn't pay much attention to the unions except when they negotiated a contract.  I can't speak for the new generation though.  I'm afraid like a lot of the younger generations, they have been brain washed by our great public school system and our institutions of higher(?) education.  I know when I was working the street, we didn't have a problem with an honest citizen legally carrying a gun.  If some think the "Old West" will come back, that might not be such a bad thing.  As Mark Twain once said; "An armed society, is a polite society." ::rockets::

Yes, that term certainly caught fire on all the gun forums I used to frequent a few years ago.  The eponymous incident (starting at the 0:31 mark specifically):

Well said, Delta Force.

As a reminder:  when the citizens hire police, we subcontract the job of keeping the peace.  We do NOT, however, relinquish our right to self-defense or to police the community.

I am reminded of the saying (paraphrased):
If you need protection now the police are only 30 minutes away
