Do you stand with or against the police?

Tbh I have a tough time with this. Police officers have never been anything but kind and patient with me. Although I do know some of them are secretly racist and biased against other people. But who do you call when you’re literally being shot at? The police are there to literally, physically save you. Of course, some of them will purposely not do their job for certain groups of people due to their racism. Idk what to think about them.

I support the police in what they do because the majority of it is good and worthwhile. They not only solve and prevent crimes, they save lives. They don't get paid that well and they face physical threat and verbal abuse on a daily basis. Without them, 99% of the public would be victims in waiting and that's regardless of which weapons they may have. They're not perfect and there are clearly too many bad examples but they're necessary if society is to have order.

@SW-User HONESTLY. I think there are so many bad cops out there, but without them society would be even MORE of a mess. Whether they’re good or bad they do keep order.
