I'd have to say that the majority of what I read on the forum would say the LEO is no different than we are. It seems to me that nearly everyone here is biased or suspicious and is in condition yellow at all times, and go to condition orange (at least) with every so called suspicious encounter. Whether this be a knock on the door, an encounter with a person walking towards them and/or dressed shabbily, a person or persons who seem out of place, being in an unfamiliar part of town, etc. their "spidey senses" are activated, or the "smell test" is employed. Why would it be different for a LEO to feel the same way? Just curious.

I believe he means that as a combat soldier he's been in that situation many times.
