Support the Police?

The often-seen statement "We support our police" strikes me as too broad. 

My support is conditional. I support police officers who use good judgment, act like professionals and are slow to anger. 

I believe that covers most of them. But I won't make a blanket statement of support for everyone that wears a badge. They have to be held to standards of conduct, just like the rest of us. The same applies to "Support our troops."
