What do you REALLY think about cops
 

I'm curious :)

(and no not the show)

Honestly, they scare the shit out of me. Nothing is more frightening then police brutality, and I rarely come across a cop who isn't on some kind of power high.

I think they're necessary, but sometimes the amount of unquestionable power they have scares me genuinely.

As a hippie in the 60s and 70s I hated the damn pigs, but now that I'm an old fart and the world seems like a much scarier place than it did 35 years ago, I'm bloody well glad there are cops. There are people out there that are a lot scarier to me than cops are and I'm glad there are people out there who are willing to put their lives on the line for me.

Abuse happens, and brutality happens, and I don't like that- but I sure as hell wouldn't want to do away with police. And I don't care who thinks I'm an old-fashioned pussy because of it.

cops here are stupid and get half price coffee. The can have it though. (im seriously so pissed at coffee haha)

^^ Pretty much how I feel. We have one of the most scumbag police forces over here they've been hit with a bunch of rape charges and even shot up a street to try and kill a dog.
You should've seen the army of pigs they sent to bust a AA gig I went to really fuckin' pathetic.... told them that too. Someone was probably being attacked at that moment in the city while they were intimidating 15 y.o girls.

20 or so years later and the MDC song I Remember is still dead on and relevant to what's going on.

Most of the time they suck,the ones here anyway.They never come when you need them,and they are always around when you don't.

I have nothing but respect for most of them. Its a thankless job...most of the time dealing with the scum of society for a meager salary.





not to mention that my father was a cop for twenty years....so what can I say;)

I have no reason to dislike them...never had any real experience with them though, good or bad.

Depends on the cop. I've known great cops, real good guys. I've also known giant assholes drunk on power. The smaller the town the worse the second one seems to get, most of the "good guys" I mentioned first transfered to other divisions because of the bullshit politics and crooked jerkoffs. I KNOW in big cities there are tons of ahole cops but there's usually enough to keep them busy. Give me an Ann Arbor or Detroit cop over a hick town sheriff any day. Like religious freaks and teenagers, a few real shitty examples of the group can forge somebody's opinion on the collective.

having been arrested several times (a few earned, but a couple of times completely unwarrented) I gotta say they're just like the rest of the people on this planet... a few reall good guys and gals drowning in a sea of opportunitic assholes with delusions of power and entitlement.
