Just my two cents....

I think that cops in general are jerks. 80 percent of them that I have ever been involved with are jerks. Call it what you want and say what you want, but it is the truth. That is my perception and my perception is my reality.

It all has to do with how they treat people. They harrass, they pick on, and they "enforce" their authority just because they can. Ever tried to fight a ticket in court? It is absolutely a no-win situation. It is your word against theirs and their word is always better.

What I find among cop "supporters" is a blind loyalty to these people. Either someone in their family is a cop or someone they know works on the force. It is so rough or tough to do this job. It is thankless, it is heroic. Say what you want. My feelings are that they probably didn't have the skills to get a better job so they are stuck with the profession.

I know I sound jaded, but right now, I park my car in the garage so it wont be stolen. I lock my doors and set my alarm at night. I live in an upper middle class neighborhood but the house across the street got broken into last week. My house had an attempted break in about 2 years ago. And what do cops focus on? Speeding in the neighborhood. Fuck you! Work on making me feel safer!

Cops are there to support the public good. For whatever reason, they like to focus 90% of their time on traffic enforcement (so they can bring in revenue) and the rest on "protecting" us. How about 90% on protecting us and the rest on traffic issues?

I've seen cops turn on their lights to make it though a light. I've seen them speed down roads just fucking around. I got pulled over the other day for 68 in a 65. Hmmmm is that the worst crime out there?

Ahh I could go on for ages. Cops piss me off and I will never respect them until they earn some respect. I'm not a murdered, so dont treat me like one.
