People who hate cop's disgust me.

Cops ae jsut like any other group of people, the majorioty good. Some bad. What bothers me is when it's okay to paint cops a certain way when doing that to any other social group would be considered offensive or bigoted.CIoud_S

Is that directed at me?

I think cops are great guys. I hate it when i hear people say police brutality. If you don't want police brutality, stop breaking the law.

swizz-the-gamer

I concur.

There are bad cops, but they are an exception, not the norm.

They actually showed on TV, I think it was Wildest Police Videos, a male cop, with a backup, spraying mace on an unarmed woman who refused to get out of her car. There was no struggle, no physical contact, no threat to the officers. He sprayed her with mace (a second degree felony for you and me, Assault W/ A Weapon 2nd) for simply refusing to get out of her car. A grown man, armed to the teeth, using a weapon on an unarmed, non-threatening WOMAN. (that same cop probably arrests wifebeaters and says things like "why don't you try hitting a man?")

This is something I never expected to see in America. Cold war Russia maybe, but here in America? And they played it like "business as usual". I hope that woman sued the crap out of them.

I don't hate cops,
I don't trust them either,
it's not that I've been arrested or had anymore than one speeding ticket,
it's just that there are far too many instances of police corruption to ignore.

I don't think its the police's fault, I think its the women's fault, why didn't she just get out of the car? Unless you got something to hide. And if she was in a hurry she still should have got out of the car

She kept on asking the cop questions, and when he got tired of her attitude, he demanded that she "step out of the vehicle". When she refused, he threatened her with the mace. Sounds a lot like a wifebeater, don't it? Except the cop has the authority to use physical force on an unarmed, non-threatening woman. Authority is NOT synonymous with right. This is America, and we have the right to question authority.

I don't think you should trust a guy just because he's wearing a uniform. They're people just like us.

So yeah, I don't exactly hate cops, but I've had some bad encounters.

ugh,cops try to exaggerate too much...

i once got arrested for falling asleep in a park and they said i was on drugs because my eyes were red.

they also accused me for carrying a lethal weapon which was not a lethal weapon at all. it was just a handle of a blade but without a blade...........the one which i abt to use to cut my carpet which was stained and replace it with a carpet that wasnt stained. but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........they had to go all pms on me.

Give me the gun,and I'll protect myself....

I don't like most cops,and 40% of my family and friends are "policemen"...bahh.....

A lot of people have the wrong mentality towards cops. I hear parents tell their children" Oooh, there's a policeman. If you don't behave, he's going to take you away." Why the hell would you tell a child that?? What if they need a cop's help? What are they gonna do? We need to start teaching children to trust the police. They're trying to help.Travo_basic

What about speeding or minor like that?

"Sir get out of the car."

"Yes, what is it offic- AHHHH WTF STOP HITTING ME!!!"

:)

I saw this one woman getting tazed for backtalking to a cop, she was screaming as if someone was sawing off her leg... :? I think alot of police officers are simply ***-holes who abuse their authority. Not all, but a significant portion.

I like some people who are cops, but I don't like police, or the system they enforce. I don't like anyone or anything that has power over me. Most don't abuse that power, but when it goes bad, there is nothing you can do against it. If a cop wants to railroad you, there is nothing you can do about it.

I say let people solve their own differences, and don't interfere with stuff that doesn't involve you. The police oppose my beliefs.

I love Officers Slater and Michaelscool_baller

Yup if only real cops were like that :(

one of my friends brothers is a cop. One time when he was busting up a party and bunch on guys were doing the usually "**** you pigs!" and such, well he reconised one of the kids from a domestic call and told him "next time your dads beating your mom dont call me for help" and the kid shut right up.markebici

I hear teenagers trying to act tough at my school saying that they hate cops and that he would fight a cop if he could. What BS, cops are there to help you, sure there may be the occasional jerk cop. But overall its best to have them to protect you. Does anybody else know of others who hate cops? If you are afraid of cops then i understand, but hating them is going too far. Film-Guy

there are a lot of cops... at least in my experience that sign onto their jobs just to have some sort of power.

There's several different kinds of cops. You have the cops who join the force because they have a strong sense of justice or because they want to help out their community and those are the good cops. Then you have the people who become cops for the power trip and those are the jerk cops. And unfortunately there are a lot of those. I remember last year I was in my roommate's car when he got pulled over for a broken tailight .When the cop came up to the car he asked where my roommate's hands were. He responded "ten and two sir" referring to where his hands were on the steering wheel. The cop just freaks out at that point yelling at him about how my roommate was disrespecting him by kidding around (which he wasn't) and after a few minutes he tells us to get out of the car. Keep in mind we didn't do anything to give him reason to search the car. The stop was only for a broken light and no one said anything that would cause him to be suspicious. The cop was just looking for an excuse to search the car.

Anyway, a lot of peoples' experiences with cops are negative. The vast majority of contact that people have with cops are when they're getting stopped for traffic violations and depending on where you live these traffic violations stops can be pretty bs. That and a lot of times when you call the cops you get "sorry, we can't really do much for you" when they arrive. As a result people tend to not like cops very much.

But I want people to feel like they can cruise down residential streets at seventy miles an hour.

Funny, but it would seem that those who hate cops would be those who feel some compelling need to break certain laws. Hmm...

The only people that hate cops are the ones who are always in trouble with the law...

SaintTheKing

Not true.

You sort of start to hate them when you get pulled over just for driving black. I live in a majority white area, so I guess its to be expected.

I drive the speed limit, I use my blinkers. Yet a cop will pull me over and ask me what I've been doing and where I'm going.

I shook it off the first time as just an **** cop, but it still happens and my brother and cousin go through the same crap. You cant even say their just ****s because nobody else but my black friends seem to have this problem.

I dont really want to hate cops because I know their not all the same, but whenever I see one I get a sick feeling in my stomach.

When I refer to bs traffic laws I'm not talking about going 70 MPH in a 25 MPH zone, I'm talking about things like speed traps. There's a county nearby that I hate having to drive through on the highway because there's not only a cop car every two miles with a speed detector but they travel in pairs. Not for safety mind you but because the state passed a law where you get a $500 fine for driving past a cop car on the side of the road or not slowing down to a "reasonable speed" (mind you the law says nothing about what a "reasonable speed" is). So what they do is one car tickets the speeder while the other one looks out for any car that goes past them in the nearest lane.

Like I said before, people would probably be willing to look past this if it wasn't for the fact that they're rarely, if ever, helped by a cop.

I know they're just doing their job, but I wish they didn't do their job sometimes.

There was a big party at my friend's house while his parents were gone. We're 18 years old, so we're underage but we're drinking anyway. The cops show up and bang on the door. We take off running out the back door and run to another friend's house.

Now I know they're just doing what they're supposed to, but this happens every time we try to have a house party. Now we have to do it at places like my farm, or someone else's farm.

cops exsist more to protect the establishment then to proctect the people. it's social control. so i dont find it very hard to hate them, for the most part. the fact that many of them exploit our rights doesn't help either

FIRST OF ALL YOU SOUND LIKE AN ASS,CUZ ALL COPS ARE NOT GREAT & THEY SURE AS HELL ARE NOT THERE FOR THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE. A HUGE AMOUNT & I MEAN HUGE AMOUNT OF COPS OVERSTEP THERE AUTHORITY. COPS THINK THAT THEY ARE HIGH & MIGHTY & CAN DO OR SAY ANYTHING THEY WANT.THEY DISRESPECT,ABUSE PHYSICALLY & VERBALLY THE EXACT PEOPLE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING.COPS ARE WHAT THESE TEENAGERS CALL THEM...PIGS !!! THEY SHOULD DO THEIR JOBS...prettygirl813
