Cops aren't monsters.

Officer Larry DePrimo, who gave homeless man warm boots, honored by NYPD after said pic of him went viral. He didn't even know the pic was taken and he is keeping the receipt. Props to the Sketchers store manager who gave the cop an employee discount when he didn't have to.

i never trust the police

That was very noble of him.BatCrazedJoker

The vast majority of cops are good people.

According to OT and a lot of people who are anti-police, one police officer only reflects the rest when it is something negative.

Rodney King beating? All cops are racist monsters.

Officer gives homeless man shoes?Eh, he's just one man and doesn't reflect the rest of the scum.

The contradictions are almost laughable.

How will they get fired? How would their boss know whether or not they enforced an inhumane law in many circumstances? Vuurk

Because common behaviors create a pattern. I'm not going to risk my job just because you think a law is unjust or inhumane. Do something about it. Get the laws changed. Why would you ask me to risk my family's well-being by breaking the law?

I have never had a problem with Cops. Even in my "less than law abiding" days they were always respectful even as they were putting me in the back of a car.

Because freedom, or something.

It's sad that cops are demonized so much as to cause this to be extraordinary.
