This is what I was looking for. Never been arrested, never been in trouble (with the law), but it's kinda personal for me as I have epilepsy.

I am sure that happens sometimes. But I also saw recently (this week) a video of an arrest of a man faking a seizure, and that happens requently according to IIRC bagster who knows a thing or two about this field.

I am sure that there are bad cops, just as there are bad priests, bad teachers, bad clerks, bad bank tellers, bad judges, bad mothers, bad fathers, bad bail bondsmen, etc.

But the majority are not bad, and law enforcement is vital to the functioning of human civizilation. And the more corruption is roto-rootered out of government and society, the better of every aspect of life will be.

Its kinda personal for me too. Having worked in a law enforcement related capacity, known hundreds of poh-leese, and seen the dark underbelly of society and what a policeman has to cope with. And how they have to act.

Police are people just like you and me.

This gives one an understanding that you are incapable of having. Even without that knowledge, I would understand that the police represent civilization, which is why the derps are attacking them now.

The cops not only protect civilization (law abiding people) and all their rights, but they ARE us, in a sense.

For you, or anybody else, to castigate them as some type of 'other', is to not understand the human condition.

Are there bad cops? Of course. I've seen them and fought against them, sometimes to my own detriment. But you cannot tar the entire institution because of the few bad seeds. There are bad seeds in every profession.

We certainly don't need the good guys (you) turning against civilization. We have enough of that already from the bad guys.

Also, what tf does epilepsy got to do with anything? Caesar had epilepsy and he loved the cops.
