Dude i can’t tell you the arguments i’ve had in Freep with people who automatically assume the cops are always right. I don’t see them any different from any other citizen. Is their job more dangerous than mine? No doubt. Do they get well compensated for it? Hell yes.
Fact is a goodly portion join these days for the pay, the pension, the bennies. It’s no longer about ‘doing right’.
You omitted that they enjoy hurting people who can’t
fight back.
