I Have Something to Say

The police are not perfect. They are only human. But if we had no police crime would be so much worse. No one would be safe.

The police are there to do their job...though in a world where every action is viewed as a political statement their job is significantly harder...I do not envy them, but I do respect them due to the sheer amount of pressure on them and their image.

@Fangirlsarah1996 Good take. And I can imagine it's very hard on the vast majority of men and women working hard to do the right thing to be lumped in with some freak on a power trip.

@Ynotisay Exactly...because the right thing to do may not be the most popular...when that line of thinking takes over people start thinking that the most popular things are the right things to do, then we get morally bankrupt societies.

We tend to hold policemen to a higher standard and we want to bitch about them when they pull us over and make a mistake. We don't think about where they might have gone before we interact with them. After dealing with drug addicts and domestic violence all day it is hard to smile and be cordial when making the next stop, especially if there was an abused or dead child at the previous stop. They see much that they can't un-see. Many policemen are veterans who have seen tragedies of war before they became policemen and witnessed the tragedies of human existence.

100% correct.
