Yes, we all HATE the cops, but.....

[ittakesalittlebitmore]

I swear to god, if I were a member of the police and I were in a high enough position I would be as bent as hell too.
Was watching Street Kings the other night (dont be fooled, its dope) and the temptation to skim a little bit off the top here or there would be too great. Youcould make money, girls, hassle white people (thats if you wanted to), 'hide' drugs....whatever....

So are the police really a mirror of what we would be in their position?
Are they the realisation of predujices, resentment and abuse of power that lies within all of us?


I think the way this crazy world is headed the answer might be a YES. Thoughts?

So OP, why do you hate the cops?

 

[renarene]

Once you get power you can only be an extension of what you were prior. So yes, if you have sideways intentions prior to being a cop, you will be crooked onceyou get the opportunity to exploit it. Its all about extremes with them. So the lines can get blurry

I have a fundemental problem with the way they are set up as an institution rather than just hate some random cop on the street, not to mention the fact thatthey more than institutionally racist in a way that supresses & penalizes as certain demographic of people more than they ever should.

And the poster above, I can see what you're saying but I disagree that a bent cop is always someone who was of suspect character, I believe you can be agood cop & person with good intentions and get totally corrupted and affected along the way too...its harsh out there

I'd be an +@# to bad people, but I'm a pretty good judge of character. I think the average cop has the same goal, but sometimes that judgement of aperson isn't calibrated just right. Usually, it's the druggies and criminals who complain about how much they hate the cops--oh, and all thewannabe-thugs.

I wouldn't think twice about screwing over some hoodlum.

Hypocritical in the sense that many of the people who complain about cops being crooked, abusive and racist are the same ones who would not thinktwice about doing the same if given the chance? YEP.

 

[kash55]

Here is a question, would you rather be no cops?

And yes a lot of them are jerks, but that comes with any and all positions of power.
