[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3112866, member: 24302"] You've got an interesting take on things. But it's not cut and dried. Sometimes cops do terrible things. Most times they don't. But you seem to think most, if not all, cops are racist a-holes who are actively seeking to harm minorities. In a country of 325 million you see a few reports, some of which were twisted and untrue, some no doubt true, and conclude all cops are this or that. Even if you saw a thousand negative stories about cops that's a drop in the bucket compared to the number of interactions cops have with the public every day. And many of those stories will be false, twisted to get people just like you to at the very least doubt the police. A cop's job is to enforce the law. A soldier's job is to kill the enemy. Two different worlds. Hopefully you'll never have to call for help because you or your family's lives are in danger. And hopefully if you do need help you won't resist calling because of your distrust. [/QUOTE]
