what make me sick these days, a normal speeding ticket these days, about 3 or 4 cops cars surround you, look like hornets going to a feeding.But too i think a lot of the cops hide behind the badge and try to be a tough guy too.About a year ago my next door neighbor was pulling into her drive with 3 cops cars behind her, i walk over to see what was going on and one cop almost drew on me and was man as hell that i came over, told me to move along.come to find out she has a back tail light out and she would not stop until she felt safe in her driveway

This thread made me remember what assholes most cops are. They are mostly all pricks so fuck them. They kill innocent people all the time. The other day they killed an old lady that worked at Costco giving away samples. The cop said she was holding a knife and he had no choice. Give me a fucking break. That gun is the only thing these assholes have for problem solving?
most cops are douchebags...I think most of us can agree but I give them a huge pass for 2 reasons:
1) I feel safer with them around. If i'm in a bad neighborhood, if I see drugged out people nearby, if I see a fight breaking out.....I feel 100x better if I know there is law enforcement in the area.
2) Part of me believes the entitled attitude is what is necessary to do their job. They have to be assholes to the criminals or else they will get shot/killed/taken advantage of. Sometimes they carry that over to most of us normal people. I know a few that used to be good guys before becoming cops and the attitude is part of the job.

I think everyone has a tendency to dislike cops, because we feel they've wronged us in some way and we hold a grudge. I know I did for a long time. Got a DUI for blowing .09 at a DUI checkpoint and was shocked to read the police report and all the blatant made up bullshit that was on it. Shit like I was driving fast and didn't stop until they yelled at me. They said I fumbled my wallet and mumbled my words. About 7 or 8 downright lies. Every time I drove by a cop for several years I thought, "what lying piece of shit pig."
However, when I think of a society without cops, I know that rampant evil would overtake the world, and there would be no law abiding anywhere. I mean, in 24 hours the entire nation would become complete chaos in every town. Kind of scary to think about it.
ointer:
I have never, ever, had a positive interaction with a police officer when it involved them doing their official duties. I realize that there is some 'good' in them having an attitude toward wife beaters, meth heads, child molesters, wanna be gang bangers, etc. But part of being there to "protect and serve" is to realize you don't treat every citizen that way.
I certainly do not feel safer when the police are around as they are increasingly quick to escalate violence (except the small town guys/gals) when their job is to de-escalate. They also are for the most part not that proficient with a firearm (there are many, many examples of them firing 50+ rounds at 1 or 2 citizens). To give you a tangible example of why I don't feel safe around them is the last time I was pulled over for speeding it was dark and I told the trooper after he asked for my license "I have a CCW..." and before I could finish (I was going to say but I'm not carrying any firearms or weapons) he interrupted me by saying "You have a WHAT!? What is that"? Yes, a state police officer did not know what that meant when I was trying to do him a favor and be courteous so he wouldn't run my license and see I had it and get all jacked up that I may have had my carry weapon. I just about laughed in his face.
I do have some good friends who are detectives and they are pretty calm guys (and a bit older) but I live my life with the approach that I want zero contact with the police or criminal justice system in any manner, shape, or form.
Good Samaritan Backfire
Here is what happens when you stop to help a woman who had a bicycle accident and the police show up:
The firemen were examining Rebecca and Josh. Ben was still supporting Rebecca’s back when Sgt. Espinoza and Officer Gabriel grabbed him from behind without warning, putting him in an arm lock and jerked him backwards over the pavement. They told him sternly that he had to leave now that trained medical professionals had arrived, implying that he was interfering and justifying their violent actions. The officers dragged him across the sidewalk, propping him against the building. Rebecca was still holding Ben’s cellphone when she lost his support. “Where are they taking him?” she asked perplexedly.
It all happened within 5 minutes of the police’s arrival.
