Been thinking and wondering why is it that the military gets the pedestal status when compared to police. Both are similiar in the line of work in the sense that they are supposed to protect the people etc. However, it seems like cops as a whole catch a bad wrap when a few of them do some unethical stuff. And not to say the utmost professionalism isn't required for the career, but stuff like Abu Ghraib, raping of female service members happens and the military is still held in relatively high regard especially in comparison to the police. Furthermore cops are exposed to danger almost daily in responding to just every day knuckleheads. So why do you guys think the difference exists in public perception?
