I agree and disagree with you, Dune Dad.
I completely understand you're frustration towards certain law enforcement. Many of them have quite the power trip and do NOT know how to deal with certain situations. Some of them don't know how and when to address certain issues. Many of them are very unprofessional. Trust me, I have had my own run-ins with a few "bad apple" LEO's out at Dumont over the years and they definitely make you have a sh*tty attitude towards all of them. BUT, you can't. You have to remember that just because there are one or two bad ones that don't know how to professionally do their job, the rest of them are there to serve and protect us all the while dealing with more BS than we ever know or hear of. They are there doing their job. If you pay buy a pass, have all of your registration, follow the rules, etc etc...they are cool and don't harass you. If you take a step back and look at this situation, you might be overreacting just like that one bad cop. Let's just say hypothetically he dealt with some mouthy, disrespectful jerks right before you and then took out his aggression on your camp. Was it professional? No. Should he have handled your instance differently? Heck yes. Maybe you should do the same. What I'm getting at is you shouldn't stereotype the BLM because of one bad run in with a "bad apple" ranger. You seem to be no better than him in dealing with your anger.
