Cops in general, really.

Or, perhaps, are LEO's themselves?

I agree, and I don't have a Bond-villain mother. Of course that is probably what someone who had a Bond-villain mother would say.

"Yay or neigh"? There's only one answer to that:
(click to show/hide)"Hay!"

I don't have a problem with Hannelore being cautious. Or smart. I didn't mind how she reacted the last comic. But this one?

Come on. It's not about her being smart of cautious. There are a million ways to say "I don't want to talk about this" in a polite manner. And I get Hannelore's reaction. I do. She doesn't have a good reason to trust Roko or even to like her. She's under no obligation to be polite or nice to her.

But I'm sorry, cutting someone off mid-sentence (when they're trying to backpedal and explain what they meant, no less!) and Hannelore's icy cold stare? That's not about not talking to the police, because it might be a bad idea. It's about not talking to Roko because Hannelore doesn't like talking to her. She's being cold, unpleasant and borderline rude.

I can't guess the motivation behind everyone's posts in this forum, but I can't help but wonder if past experience with the police isn't informing at least some people's attitude towards Roko as a character. While by no means universal, the general attitude towards police in this forum tends to be, on average, extremely hostile. Does that inform people's opinion on this particular comic? Maybe not. But I think it just might.

Again, I don't think Hannelore is a terrible human being for reacting the way she does, or anything like that. But I don't see the way she handled the situation as necessary. Or reasonable. Or nice. Roko may be a police officer, but she's still a person.

Nycticoraci:
Roko the Brony.

BenRG:
Speaking as a Brony, I can confirm that we are not all into anthro cheesecake pictures. Indeed, some of us consider them profoundly weird and disturbing. Even the humanoid Equestria Girls characters need to be massively re-proportioned before I can call them 'attractive'.
