Just wanna know how you all feel about police officers?

~*shea*~

I respect them more now than ever. I realize now the people they deal with on a daily basis. We put our lives in danger everyday to protect people and their families and don't know if we will make it home safe to our families. Sara S, just because you might of had a bad experience with a deputy does not mean all of them are that way. You also have to realize if the deputy was rude did you ever stop and think that maybe the call he went on before was something that might of upset him. It is not an excuse to be rude but sometimes it happens. My brother hated cops just as much as you did until I started working for the department and now he realizes the things we deal with and the stress it causes on us and our families. Now dont get me wrong, there are some bad cops that do not need to be out there protecting citizens but don't take it out on all cops because you had one bad experience. One day god forbid if you are getting shot,stabbed,robbed, or rapped who will you call first, not your mother, it will be the cops so don't say you never need a cop because they just might be the ones to save your life or a family memebers life. To all law enforcement, I have the most respect for the boys in blue and god bless you and your family.

My idea of a perfect police officer would include, among other things, an ability to look past the letter of the law and act on the spirit of the law. If you're in it for the power, you ought not to do it at all. Be respectful of citizen's rights, and understand that you work for us when you come right down to it. Firm but fair, that's the way I'd like to see the policemen in my area behave.

...but the way things are now, I'd prefer to keep them at a distance.

They deal with unpleasant people on a daily basis, and it might take a toll on the personality sometimes.

For the most part, they do a good job of protecting people from "bad" people.

They do a job that has a lot of risk asociated with it, and "have to" go into danger-areas more often than most of us would like to.

In general, I applaud them.

Well besides the fact that there are bad cops out there, I think the good cops, who are doing a good job, should continuing doing their job.My view on the police is that I truly respect them.

Police officers provide a very important service to the public welfare and I can't imagine life without them. I really don't want them coming around because if they do that means something bad has happened or will happen. It's not like they ever stop by to have some coffee and see the kids or just say hello. So I prefer they just stay away.

I have no problems at all with the Police. They are doing a job that most people couldn't, or would want to do for 24 hours, let alone 20-30 years. I judge everyone on an individual basis. They have my respect.

not satisfied with the work they are doing

i respect the honest , decent cops , as it must be difficult to deal with criminals and corrupt cops on the force.

i think that the honest cops are going to have to step up and drop these code of blue silence.

i think we as a society have to fight for better laws to protect citizenship and define what the standards should be. we need to pay our police twice of what they earn . we need to recruit the best and brightest of candidates into these roles and then work to retain and develop that talent.

my idea of a perfect officer is one that wants to be a police officer. i don't want anyone in that role that hates the job or has selected it as an occupation because they couldn't get the job they really wanted. a perfect officer self manages his behavior ... if (s) he's too burned out / (s)he takes a vacation / utilizes employee assistance programs . a perfect officer would be one that respects the public . performs his/her job duties and helps develop others on their force.

Yahoo Sucks

Do to the power imbalance between myself and them, I am skeptical of them and they must work harder to earn my trust. They do a lot of good but the bad one are like cancer to society.

There needs to be better checks and balances between law enforcement and the public.

Wondering

I like them and support them.

natelaero

They have a hard life and job. Don't knock it till ya try it.

I dont have a problem with police officers at all, i know alot of people hate the "pigs" but in my eyes if your not doing anything illegal why do you need to hate them?
There humans, just like all of us, the difference is they have the balls to put there life on the line to protect someone you dont even know. There just like our armed forces, they do what they need to do to protect us. Why would you hate someone for protecting your life?

Canon foder. for the ones that realy need to be gotton ride of.
Generaly, most I wouldn't trust my life with. But this is from what little experiance I have had .

ren p

I think is cool they are around, but my hate towards them starts out when they harras me, and act as if they are above the law. I think law enforcement personel should help people instead of what is happening now,

Ignorance and abuse of power. Jack Asses in blue uniforms.

Not To Serious

They are a legalize gang paid by taxes.

cprucka

They are trouble disguised as a good guy. Actually, the are people living double standards. It is not do as I do, it is do as I say. If you don't they can put you in jail, hold you without a charge for 72 hours. Keep you from making your phone call for 72 hours and legally rob you and you can't do nothing about it. Got the balls? Try it and see if I am right. No, I stay away from evil. Evil wears a badge and lies to you and makes you think you are their friend. Don't go for it. They are there to protect and serve..........each other.

Police officers are a necessary evil.
