What are police like in your area? [View all]

Where-ever you are.

Here in Sheboygan most of them are good cops, a few though are lazy.

The last "tactical situation" we had here in Sheboygan, cops saw two gang members enter the front of the house, they surround it, tear gas the shit out of the interior, seems no one noticed the two gangbangers had left via the back door long before the cops surrounded the house.
