Mr. Rodriguez wrote a post admonishing police officers for being dirty, abusive, and disliked/dispised. Seriously?? What the heck?! Would you rather there be no police? Imagine that. Who'd come when a criminal broke into your house, beat you, raped your wife/partner, kidnapped your child, took all your valuables, etc etc. Who'd assist you after an accident? Who'd control the traffic after major sporting events or after a mega-church gathering? Who'd be there for you in times of crisis and need?
I'll admit some police officers may have egos but that's part of the job. Without the egos, they wouldn't be able to handle the riff-raff they encounter on a daily basis. Does ego=abuse of power? In a few rare circumstances, yes. The other 99.99999999999999999% of the time these guys are out there helping and protecting the public.
And who really dislikes or dispises police? When I've received tickets.....even when I was arrested sometime back for failure to pay my tickets, I didn't dispise the officer involved. I was angry at myself for actions that had undesirable consequences. I sped, I got tickets. I didn't pay those tickets, I got arrested. When you say most people dislike or dispise the police, have these people ever admitted their fault? Or have they just whined and moaned at being caught.....blaming everything on the damned cops?!
I support and appreciate the police departments of America. Are they perfect? No. But who in the hell is?
