Cops are not perfect they just do the best they can with what they have, they make mistakes like everybody else. They are held to the highest standards. If in trouble, they will pay a higher price.
I love my job and try to be laid back in my approach with the public. Respect is a two way street. If you give it you get it. It doesn't always work, but I always try.  |
You are correct, you'll not sway my opinions.
But if you think my opinion of law officers is that they are all bad, corrupt, or act illegally, then you are dead wrong. I believe a number of them take the position with an intent of doing good for the public, not just to make living. I tip my hat to those guys, and you are possibly one of them. The majority of police officers take the position because they simply like doing the work, love the commaradere, and make a decent living. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that either. You don't have to have an inherent love for the public to simply do the job, accept the risks, and get paid.
