Does anyone else hate the police?

jenny

i bet you'd love them if they showed up to help if you were being assulted

Jessica R

I don't like the bad cops put it that way. What we can do is appreciate the good ones

cowrepo

When we stop making generalizations about the police

tinamaries43

There are bad and good ones. They've been there when i needed them.

rhino_man420

call a crack head next time u need help, if you don't like the police, then tell me how you feel about police

sishakara

there will always be bad apples in the force as long as it's made up of members of the human race.

Anthony F

wow ummm maybe there are a few bad police out there but sheesh they aren't all bad, most of them are here to help us and stop crimes not commit them.

the only madness I see is your hatred for police that is unwarrented. Don't punish all of them because of the actions of a couple.

blaze23

No. Whole family full of police officers.

PeachPie

yeah, i wonder who you'll be calling for help when you're getting raped or getting beat by your husband?? gonna handle it on your own?

I like the police...they got some good tunes....no on a serious note...there are people everyday getting away with things...not just the police...so shouldnt you be mad at evil not at the police.... Now you cant say that they killed unarmed people...because as far as they knew the people that got shot might have been armed... you never can tell... ALL cops do not discrimate against young people..hell most cops these days are young people... i know more cops under the age of 25 than above.... plus if you dont want them to discrimate against you then dont act like you hate them.....

OK, that is a completely unfair statement.
I mean, read your question again.
"HATE" the police?
First of all, the police is too general a term. There are many honest police men that are serving all around the U.S.A., trying to help out and be as loyal as they can to the morals and values which America stands for.
Second of all, without the police, there would be no security. So even though today's police might not be as good as you want them to be, you wouldn't even be able to read this answer without the police around- your laptop/computer would probably have been smashed by a passing criminal. Hating the police is an absolutely ridiculous thing to do. Without the police, there would be hundreds of people - no thousand of people- turning up dead on the street, in their homes, and outside. There would be no order, only violence.

So you can say that you hate today's standards for police performance and the recent events have led you to believe that the police are pushing their rights a bit too far, but saying that you hate the police...well, that's just plain unreasonable.

I live in NYC and the police are OK. The only thing is, many here are like very, very young and don't look like your typical police officers you see on COPS. They like like regular people who just graduated high school, not like big and strong military guys.

Sorry..I don't hate the police and I can't make snap judgements on things that happen without actually being there myself and seeing what went on.Some things actually happen..some are the results of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.Not as many as you think..only the bad ones are reported..that makes it seem like more.

George Pavladis

They are human too..so its best to sometimes give them the benefit of the doubt.After all they do have a hard job and there families have a hard time too.So overall i think they are good people who sometimes make mistakes just like me and you

sammyd734

I love the freak'n POPO...

They Rock.

I work at a place that everyone calls " Police Headquarters" because they come there all the time and they are all really cool..(some of them hot..Ahhh that uniform)

BUT YEAH they cool. They're just doing their job.

~MEEEOW~

If you don't want to be put in the same catagory as a criminal, do you think it's fair to put all police in the same category? Just because there are bad ones in the police force doesn't mean they are all corrupt! There are many, many police that are looking out for you and the safety of your family!!!

retrowfmk

OK...just as you stereo-typed....it is my turn now.

Big surprise your avatar is african-american. Call Al Sharpton. He will come to your rescue..but screw the white guy that may be a "victim" of the same stuff.

I am SICK AND TIRED OF MINORITIES SEGREGATING THEMSELVES. If you want special treatment, then you are NOT equal.

Thank God Michigan voted to get rid of Affirmative Action during this last election. I am sick of it.

pgnx

in some cases.. police have gotten out of hand,
but id say that most police do their job correctly.

young boys tend to be hot-headed
soo.. they might decide not to follow directions given to them from police, which just causes a lot more trouble than the officer wanted

At least you recognize that police are human beings, even though you seem to expect them to behave like robots with extra sensory perception.
If you want to stop the madness, tell your friends to comply with lawful orders given by the police. Tell them that a car is a weapon, and that when it is aimed at a police officer it is considered a deadly weapon that will be met with deadly force. Finally, tell them to stop using their 92 year old grandmothers to help them deal drugs.

These people deal with the dregs of society! Maybe instead of finding fault with authority, it may have to do with the people and their actions!

This is kind of like the Iraq situation. You always hear about the bad things that happen there, never the good things our fighting men and women have been doing!

Hillaryforpresident

The stories that you hear the most about are always the bad cop stories. They are the ones that get the publicity. On the other side, how many lives do the other "good" cops save in a day? How many thieves, rapists, murderers, etc., do they catch? And who would you call for help, who would you trust the most? Don't believe all cops are bad, thats just media hype. I feel sorry for the ones that risk their lives to protect us and believe me, they are the majority, not the minority.

Go to another country and see what rights you have. Not all 'cops' discriminate against young men and I am assuming you mean young black men as that is what most people believe. I, as a law enforcement officer, look for the things that the rest of society sees but does nothing about. When something happens nobody sees a thing which leaves us to dig harder to find the truth and prosecute those responsible for committing the crime. Don't believe everything that you see on TV or read in a newspaper. We are not all racists, we are not all biggots, liars, thieves, etc etc etc. Are there racists in police work, absolutely. Are there racist judges, lawyers, doctors, welders, hamburger cooks, bus drivers, cab drivers....need I go on.....absolutely. Officers are tasked with finding and stopping or prosecuting criminals. Some of those criminals will kill police officers for no other reason than they are trying not to go to jail. This leaves that officers family and children without their loved one and the criminals family without a father/mother etc. You must understand that seeing the things we see on a daily basis tends to make us hardened and a tad bit cynical. We tend not to trust others, even our own, and look at the world in a different way. I have yet to get a call from my dispatcher telling me that Mr and Mrs Jones wanted me to come by their home and enjoy a nice dinner with them on Christmas because they know I'm away from my family. Most of the time I'm going to Mr. and Mrs. Jones home because Mrs. Jones overcooked the turkey and Mr. Jones beat the crap out of her then wonders why I'm putting his sorry but in jail all the time saying to myself how sad this is because I want to be with my family, even with an overcooked turkey but bubba is being an idiot. As far as the killing of unarmed citizens, I must assume you are talking about the recent shooting in NY. All I can say is go stand in the road while a car is coming towards you. You will be in fear of your life and will consider that car as a weapon much like the officers did I'm sure. The officer shoots to stop the threat, not to kill. It is unfortunate that sometimes the criminal dies, but remember life is about choices and sometimes they make the wrong choice, white/black/purple or pink. I suggest you ride with an officer for a couple of nights and see the reality rather than the news. The first time you see a baby killed by a drunk driver or some idiot who just couldn't deal with the crying you'll change your mind, trust me. Until then, please wait for the evidence to come in before you render an opinion. If the officers are wrong, then they should and will be punished.

You ask, I answer

every department has its' good cops and bad. most cops just want to do their job, and it's attitudes like yours that keep them from doing it well. it's good that youdon't associate with criminals, etc, but have you ever had a conversation with a cop? they would risk their life to save you if you were in trouble, so chill out. i work with cops, and they are great guys and girls who love their job (for the most part). if they do something illegal, they should be punished, much like the rest of us. it's not madness, it's life. quite whining and do some good in your community.

BrutalBaby

The problem is, you believe everything the media tells you. Cop shootings are really rare. That's why they are on the news!! That's why it makes a good story! The media is actually disappointed when a minority is not involved! B/c so is everyone else. The cops are human and not perfect either, ever think of that? Do you have someone hanging over you while you work always scrutinizing everything you do when they have no clue what you should be doing, only their idea of you should be doing! You are one to preach about discrimination when that is what you are doing. The hypocrisy is what needs to stop! Who is getting away with murder? Everytime a cop does exactly what he was trained to do, he's on the media being called a killer for his kids to hear and you never ever ever hear the whole story. You can't make it better until you try to understand the other side and look at the news for what it is, entertainment! You're right it's not fair, so stop hatin and pull your head out!

people like you are ******* dumb. you all think the police are corrupted pigs out to get people,but you dont get it. Police officers are just poeple like you who lifve in ur neiborhood and have a family just like you. instead of working in an office or serving you at burger king they are risking thier lifes to help people. so what, sometimes they make a mistake... thier mistakes are just "bigger" because thier jobs are "bigger". instead of dropping some plates at dennys (like you) they shoot someone when they feared they could have had a gun( but they find out later it didnt exist) and ******* activist like you jump all over them saying it was a racist shooting. until you have a job that that puts ur life on the line .stfu

end racism, don't teach it to your kids, and 50 years from now, problem solved

tidybowl49

Because most of the young males they run into are criminals.48 states have concealed carry..You could always wear a sign saying you are one of the good guys.

jaybird512

No, I don't hate the police.

The first thing that might help you with your hatred is to look into specific cases, and not make so many generalizations. You claim that police are getting away with murders, yet you've not given us any examples. You claim discrimination against young males, but have not told us how, when, or where. The last thing I see is that you are upset by killings of people who were not armed, but a firearm is only one thing of many which can inflict serious bodily injury or death.

This sounds more like misinformation on your part and not "madness" on the part of the police. When a cop points a gun at a criminal and says "Stop!", he's usually pretty serious about it.
