Reply #72: My dad was a police officer for 30 years, my cousins are all officers.

And hell, even the ones that have arrested me treated me fairly. I have a pretty good idea what the job entails, a lot more than the average civilian, so I tend to be on the officers' side most of the time. It's thankless, unappreciated and downright scary sometimes. You are dealing with the worst elements of society most of the time and putting your life on the line in the service of others all the time. There are bad people in every job but most of them just want to get home safe at the end of the day the same as you and me. The best day a cop can have is a day he gets no calls while on duty. Their portrayal here by some people as blood thirsty murderers and power tripping tyrants is unfair and unjustified.
