This was an intersting thread. I have a cop in my family, I have spent may hours talking with my brother in law. I can tell you that they are just doing a job, a job that has rules and procedures. When you are pulled over, the cop pulling you over has no idea who you are, so they approach you thinking that you could be the guy who makes it so they dont come home for dinner, ever. It was mentioned earlier that most cops never deal with "Joe Average" most of the people they deal with are not so nice. My brother in law has taken a bullet in the chest, he was wearing a vest and he is okay today. He has seen two fellow officers killed in the last 18 months. He has three kids and makes around 45k a year. Now I ask you, could we give the cops out there a break? Sure there are some bad apples, but most of the cops out there do it for the love of the country.
Are they better than any of us? No, and if you ask most of them, they will tell you that. They just have to be more careful than the rest of us. I hope that helps you (YourNeverThere)
