Current Events > What is your opinion of cops in the U.S.?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Has it been tainted by the incidents in the media the past decade?

An old institution that's still fighting crime as if it were still the 60s and refuses to change.

An excellent show. The best reality TV you can find.
---

The vast majority of them are pieces of shit who probably got picked on in school and became a cop to have power over people.
---

My stance is that I respect them but I don't trust them.
---

The majority are corrupt pieces of shit. Those that arent turn a blind eye to the corrupt actions of their peers which is nearly as bad.
---

Ive never really had enough interactions with them to say. All the times Ive gotten pulled over I only got a ticket once and warnings every other time. I got stopped doing 57 in a 30(it was really 35 but I wasnt dumb enough to argue) and he gave me a verbal warning. All you gotta do is be polite.

Havent really had any bad experiences with them. Just one time a cop was kind of a dick to me because I was parked in a reserved spot waiting for my friends to come out of a pizza place. But I was like 1am so no one was parking there anyway. One guy came over and asked me what I was doing and he said ok, a few minutes later the older cop comes over and tells me to leave. I had to wait in the street for my friends to get in my car >_>

99% of them are good people just trying to do a job.

sjws always shit sling then run when the facts come out. but the damage to the cop's reputation is done.

I've had police find me when I ran out of gas and use cash from their own pocket to get me back on the road.

Where the fuck are THEIR news stories?

Some of them could be d**** but don't act shady and don't do illegal things and you won't encounter them.

Cops were the bullies in school.

Legal and illegal are not synonymous with right and wrong.

Just people

People doing their jobs

Are there assholes, yes

Luckily I've never had a bad interaction with them, yet

Generally we mean immoral things like stealing, disturbing the property of others, murder, rape, and being involved in the drug trade

try that argument in court yet?

I've nothing but the utmost respect for the police. These brave men and women put their lives on the line daily to make our communities a safe place.
---

Some or good, most are bad. As long as the Department of Justice and Police Unions continue to let these criminal cops go free or get only a slap on the wrist it will get worse. A lot of departments are almost straight up gangs shaking down people for money.

Too bad half the country blindly worships authority while people are getting abused and murdered every day.
---

I prefer them to those that say fuck da police
---

Nice and caring people who help their communities.
---

Pretty decent chaps and gals for the most part. A few bad eggs, but get those in every profession. People who dive into danger to protect others and even give their lives for the safety of others.

And people who are far more patient with idiots than they need to be.

Oh, in the US. Somehow read it for outside the US.

For inside the US it just seems like far too much "protect each other" than should exist when they fuck up. The zealousness with which a lethal response is used is also concerning.

I believe the Italian community in Howard Beach, New York is connected to the mob which is connected to the police. Which is why when that hot girl Katrina was murdered while jogging the police were quick to nab a suspect and the process was expedited because they claimed they were pressured to do so.

Why is her case so special when there's so many other cases in other communities in New York that gets neglected? Like the brown college student who was killed by a drunk driving cop who only got probation? I'll tell you why. The mob has infiltrated the police and they favor certain communities like Howard Beach.

Most of them are bad cops, by any reasonable definition of "bad cops."
---

Poorly trained. Low standards leading to bad results.
---

I like to act all twitchy and jumpy and bolt at the slightest sight of them before shouting about how I didn't do nuthin.

I honestly don't hate them, since it's usually best to just not do anything to draw them to you and if you're doing something illegal and know it... well, who would have thought it'd bite you in the ass.

I don't like the corrupt ones, such as those that falsely try to set others up such as that one that thinks everyone is on weed etc. But it's hard to pinpoint those until it's usually too late.

This. Made me lol when sjws wanted cops to have body cams in order for cops to be held accountable. Cops said yeah sure, shouldnt be a problem. Body cams often show cops were in the right and we get the first 30 seconds of someone pulling a gun on a cop or taking a swing at them in addition to the last 30 seconds were you see a cop beating the shit out of someone.

Sjws cry that body cams are an invasion of privacy and dont want cops to have them. Just fucking LOL

Lol, name a department that is basically an organized crime gang.

There have been a few that have been dismantled and rebuilt due to massive corruption and essentially being an organized crime gang like you mention.

Seriously though, come on this is a really fucking easy one if you have any idea wtf youre talking about.
