I don't really mean to come off like a complete asshole...but sometimes, I am one, so...that's ok, as I think everyone is entitled every once in a while.

I know that there are good cops out there...decent men & women who are doing the right thing & upholding the law. It's just the bad ones are deeper then some of us suspect, & the good ones are not as "in our face" as the bad ones.

There IS a need for them, otherwise, there would be complete anarchy & the only people who want that are anarchists, & I'm quite sure they don't quite understand the full meaning or consequences of that. I certainly don't want that. But I also don't want to be a victim of police violence one day either.


Then again, suicide by cop may not be a bad way to go, as long as they shoot me & not beat me to death.

Fair enough...well said.
