You just did insult me.

It's pretty clear, Unit, that you've had some sort of negative experience with the police. Maybe when you were a kid, someone stole your bike, and they never found it. Maybe you were having some harmless fun, and you got chewed out for it. Whatever the case, you've had nothing but negative contact with them.

READ above post. Some good, the majority bad. Don't make light of my experiences with the police. Actually, you're illustrating my point to a T. You fit the cop doesn't give a rats mentality profile quite well.

Am I denying that there are a**hole cops? Of course not. But there are a**holes in every profession. Cashiers, bank tellers, lawyers, doctors. All of them might very well be an a**hole. Of course, a cashier can't overcharge you by hundreds of dollars because they don't like the kinds of things you bought.

This you do have correct. Unfortunately, because they have greater power, they need to have more respect for that power. In my contact with them, they actually have less respect for the power they have.

Anyway, I accidentially deleted the previous draft of this post, and am retyping it from memory, and now I think I've left a part out, so I'll go right to the Big Finish.
I had said it in an earlier post, but I think it bears repeating: When you put your health and wellbeing in the hands of every lowlife with a grudge against the police...not for your own personal gains, but for the greater good of the public...then you can go on a tirade about how all cops are corrupt pricks with every agenda but justice on their minds. Until then, shut up and take it like a man. The "I hate cops" thing is getting old.

Police don't get into their line of work to help people. Don't be nieve. The vast majority (speaking as a person who has several friends becoming police) become police because of the power. They were beat up in school, or got their lunch money stolen, or they just get off on screwing people over and being able to get away with it. Self indulgent ego maniacs. I would wager a great deal of money on very few police officers going into their profession to "help people." I really could care less if they want to lay their life on the line, chances are they couldn't make it in a normal profession because of their inability to deal with being a normal person having no control over others. Their call. How about responding to 7 auto break ins in 3 nights in a 2 block area?
