The reply button was clicked from your posting, but not necessarily directed solely at your post. It was more of a response to the generalizations I see on here so much of the time regarding the perceived lack of respect for the beat guys (from those in specialty units), from the beat guys. However, I will call you on the one part of your original post that you quoted above, "...patrol is considered beneath everyone.": To whom are you referring as being the ones considering patrol beneath them?
