I know that there are good cops, i just think that most cops can be complete dicks, depending on who they're dealing with. Couple that with the fact that they get to carry guns, and can in reality quite easily get away with killing people doesn't really wash with me. I've heard the "few bad apples" argument, but it seems silly to me to chalk things up to just a few bad apples, when every other apple in the barrel failed to call the bad apples on their shit.
I trust cops as much as i trust anyone with a gun and a de facto license to kill and detain. That doesn't mean that i don't understand the necessity of their existence. It's just that when it comes down to it, they're people just like everyone else.
