What do you REALLY think about cops

[Ferox13]

One of the cops in my town got arrested for having child pornography on his computer. So I must say, I don't like cops.

By that reasoning I don't l;ike people in your town either.

A lot of teachers and cops are unequipped to deal with problem/at risk kids. Both can be heavy handed/complacent and just make the situation worse. Bad parenting and poverty are factors too. I hope a lot of the shit I saw in schools growing up doesn't go on anymore some teachers were just sadist bullies with over reactive discipline. But on the other hand some were fantastic at what they did.

They used to get the job done. If they knew that someone did it but didn't have quite enough proof, so what if they planted something, 99% of the time they were guilty. Now, they have to fill out 50 forms before they can give you a good talking to. It's not entirely their fault (although I was pissed when I saw the police station full of police cars last Friday Night.), it's the system that won't let them do anything.

ive never been arrested (althoug i did plenty of shit when i was 15 to warrant it), and have never been pulled over when i didnt deserve it, but, i completely agree with this assessment. I have nothingbut respect for the mantle of Cop; they are necessary. Also, i tend to think of cops as good until i am proven differently, but then that is how i try to apporach most people.

I think generally they're ok, with a larger image/public perception (like any group) that can be spoiled by a minority.
I don't have any "problems" with them, but more than likely because I don't dress and/or act like a fuckwit/the kind of person they'd deem attention-worthy.
Sure, there's been incidents - but that stuff was always my own fault.
They've been of assistance when required.

Overall, neutral...I'll start hating individuals if and when neccessary.

I respect cops who might get shot. Cops who have no chance of getting shot I can't respect as much.

Well, I don't trust them.....but that's pretty much because I don't really trust people in general.....;) I have never been arrested, and I have pretty much "behaved myself" .....for the most part....:rolleyes: But when I was a kid, we lived in one area where many of the cops were just completely out of control. And another where they were so damned bored, they were just looking to give people a hard time.

Like others have said, I certainly wouldn't want to live without them, they are necessary. I believe there are decent cops, cops that want to do good, and help....I also believe that becoming a police officer can be very attractive to a certain kind of individual. Its a position of power, and like ALL positions of power......it can definitely attract people that are more about abusing that power than anything.

Fuck tha police
Comin straight from the underground
Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority

Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one
For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell

Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin my car, lookin for the product
Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics

You'd rather see me in the pen
Then me and Lorenzo rollin in the Benzo
Beat tha police outta shape
And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape
To tape off the scene of the slaughter
Still can't swallow bread and water

I don't know if they fags or what
Search a nigga down and grabbin his nuts
And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
Cuz they slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin out for the white cop

Ice Cube will swarm
On any muthafucka in a blue uniform
Just cuz I'm from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me
A young nigga on a warpath
And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin in LA
Yo Dre, I got somethin to say

Fuck tha police!!!!!! :D

And what's so screwed up about it, there are drugs, shootings and rape all happening in my town, while the cops sit at the gas station and give people tickets for going down a road that barely anyone goes down, while some are sitting at home jacking off to children being molested! :mad:
