I've known a LOT of cops in my life. My best friend's dad was the chief of police in smalltown usa. THEY ARE ALL DOUCHEBAGS. THEY ARE ALL CRIMINALS. THEY ARE ALL IN IT FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH INTERESTS. THEY WILL ALL LIE, STEAL, INTIMIDATE AND SADISTICLY FLAUNT THEIR POWER AT A MOMENTS NOTICE.
I've know good guys who hypocritically joined "the force" and soon became another douchebag cop.
I know they've got a shitty job to do, and I know that it pays for shit, and that they get treated like shit, and that it's dangerous (for a FEW), but that still doesn't make their actions any less reprehensible. I know someone out there has to do the job, and I don't know how to fix the system, but the system is SERIOUSLY FUBAR.
Living in St. Louis I once got into an arguement with a security officer, mind you, not a police "person". I did nothing illegal. I only told the guard my opinion. Then I made him look like a little bitch in front of a lot of people. Then I came back the next day and let him get in my face. After again making him look like a little bitch in front of even more people he hit me. I never even got out of my car until the police arrived, yet I was arrested, handcuffed and taken to jail. Upon arrival at said jail, the ranking officer on duty asked me where I was from and after I told him, he called me a fucking hillbilly and said I couldn't get away with that shit in his town (lol, like St. Louis was his "turf"). Little did any of these fucktards know, I recorded everything on 2 different phones and a personal audio recorder which they failed to take from me.
It was awesome once I got to court. Yet nothing happened to any of the officers. NOT ONE THING. I moved shortly afterwards.
To quote the great poet, Ice Cube, "Fuck the Police".
