Where did I generalize??

"I would have zero problem". "Based on my interactions". "I would describe them".

That's the phrasing I used, very specifically and on purpose in fact. Is that a problem?

I read it as a rebuke to a generalized statement that you characterized as US-centric, hence implying that outside of the US the police are your friends. You also said "they do generally want to help" which is a rather explicit generalization.

If you just meant to say that the police are your personal friends, that's fine I guess, but the comment you replied to didn't really rule that out in the first place.
