Cops have a tough job. The majority of the people they deal with aren't exactly the upper echelon of society, so I would think that over time, cops must get a little jaded.
I've done ride-alongs with the police, and can honestly say they have one tough ass job to do. Most of the shit rats they deal with have Seaver's attitude... I can honestly say there is NO way I could do that job without beating the hell out of half the people I would be dealing with.
So yeah - I respect them. That's not to say there aren't bad ones out there who abuse their authority... because there are. The same can be said for Doctors... lawyers... politicians.. janitors, etc.
