Cops aren't monsters.

SOURCE

"Controversy has always swirled around the New York Police Department. Are minorities treated fairly? Do officers resort to force too quickly? The constant stream of negative news stories sometimes overshadows the quiet compassion shown by many police officers in this teeming city.

Jennifer Foster, a police officer from Florence, Arizona, recently witnessed such an act of kindness. She and her husband were visiting Times Square in New York City and saw a shoeless man asking for change. As they were approaching the man, an NYPD officer walked up to him.

The officer said, I have these size 12 boots for you. He squatted down and put socks and new boots on the man. Foster was especially impressed that the officer expected nothing in return and did not know that anyone watching."

OT seems to be of the mindset that we're monsters who seek only to do harm to others. Maybe some of you should think better of us. Things like this happen every day and the only things that get reported are the negatives.

FVCK DA POLICE!!

I don't understand the title? One cop gave shoes. Maybe a title like "act of kindness by an officer" or something

On a side note: Its stupid that people assume cops are pigs or w/e. Each cop is an individual person.

because the word "cops" has gotten a bad rep, where alot of people think all cops are bad and dirty.

There are mixture of good and bad cops. It's not because they're in the police force, it's because of individuals' different personalities.

using one instance of kindness and applying it to all cops is just as dumb as the other way.

Yes, they aren't monsters. They also aren't heroes.

They are paid public servants. Many let the power get to their heads. Many perform their duties well as a public servant. The frequent stream of negative news abotu police officers simple stems from the fact that police officers are held to higher standards than typical people. It comes with the job.

Some are, some aren't. The state trooper who didn't give me a speeding ticket when I was younger and gave me a lesser ticket wasn't a monster.

But a lot of people complain about police............until they need them.

you are taking a individual situation and applying it to the word "cops" in general.NEWMAHAY

Cops do get a bad rap, in general. Tell me, aside from hearing about a cop doing his job correctly and saving lives, when do we hear anything good about the police?

made me think of this:

Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."

People arrested for drug charges so far this year: 1,517,744 (over half of this is marijuana) There is nothing positive about this.mingmao3046

While most cops are generally good guys (for instance airshocker doesn't come off as a @sshole) There are definitely cops that are horrible people that just have the job for a power trip.

"Cops aren't monsters."

That's exactly what a monster who is a cop would say!

DEA agents aren't really cops in the typical sense, and they almost always bust dispenseries that aren't in compliance with local laws.

On the few occasions that I've interacted with police officers in the Redmond/Bellevue (WA) area (during minor traffic stops), I've always been very impressed by their professionalism. In this part of the world, they seem to be pretty decent, intelligent and articulate.

Cops aren't monsters. Monsters strive to achieve their status.
