The title says all. I HATE how a lot of people disrespect cops. They put there lives on the line in order to protect us civilians yet they get nothing but crap. They get called names and disrespected everywhere they go but people won't hesitate to call them if they need help with something. I had to get that off my chest. Thoughts? Do you "hate" cops? If so, please give a mature answer why. None of that "  da police NWA" crap. |

I hate how a lot of cops disrespect people who aren't breaking the law.

I concurrently respect the hell out of cops, and feel that a few bad apples give the bunch a bad reputation.

I hate at least half the cops.
I hate the cops that abuse their power. The cops who dont listen to reason and dont abide the law their supposed to uphold and protect. Cops who will brutally beat someone because they get emotionally invested in the situation, not because its the right thing to do.
Case and point... when a cop confronts you and youre not doing any wrong, just try telling him you know youre laws and that you dont have to follow his orders as long as youre not doing anything wrong. See if you dont go to jail because he needs to feel superior.
Cops have a bad name and reputation because they give it to themselves. You dont see us booing and hissing them when they catch a bank robber or murderer do you? People dont hate them just for fun, its because theyre not always right, and thats a pill they refuse to swallow.

If you mean cops in general, I guess you can say I respect them. However, there are quite a few of them that just like to show off their badge (if you will).

Here in the UK I feel the police have a horrible and thankless job. I do not hate them, but I do hate some of the absolutely ing ridiculous laws that they are forced to uphold. I sure as hell would not want to be a police officer. |

This has been addressed a few times before. I should just leave this topic alone but seeing as how I am a full time police officer I feel inclined to reply.
Police officers are sometimes held to a higher standard and they should. However, it's important to remember that police officers are human beings too. There are bad cops, firemen, doctors, dentists, teachers, priests, ect. What do all of these have in common? They are all people.
I also hate that it's "cool" to hate police officers but it's unfair to judge them the same way you don't want them to judge you.

Agreed.
There are some really good cops. There are some who abuse their authority. To make assumptions they are all the later is just wrong. I like to think it's getting better here, recently a case came out of an officer racialy abusing an offender and their was uproar.

I live on Long Island...in Suffolk County....we currently give our street cops MORE money then 99% of street cops in the WORLD. They do NOTHING except sit around at local food spots. I was at IHop with my daughter, there were 2 at a table next to me. I heard on the radio a call for a shooting that happened about 3 minutes from where we were and asked for IMMEDIATE response, and the ing pigs turned down their radio and continued eating. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. They weren't off the clock as it was around 10:30 in the morning. I was FURIOUS with this. Another time I was at a shop that got robbed at gun point. The guy left with a ton of cash and scratch offs, owner hit the silent alarm under the desk while getting the money from the cash register, and it took them OVER AN HOUR to respond while the precinct was no more then 5 minutes down the road. Seriously, they are the most over paid, laziest mother ers ive ever encountered. They can't help when help is needed, yet they will pull you over for going 2 MPH over the speed limit and give you a ticket for doing 75 in a 45 just so they can make quota and look good (happened to my gf while I was in the car with her and she was 6 months pregnant). Points on her license, HUNDREDS of dollars in fines, and was mandated to take defensive driving courses. I asked the cop for radar proof on how fast she was going, as I knew she was doing right around the speed limit (why the would she speed when prego), and he told me he doesn't have to show me crap, and made me step out of the car, and searched me, then ILLEGALLY searched my pregnant girlfriends car because he found a lighter in my pocket saying it was cause enough. I told him not to touch the glove box or the trunk, and he proceeded to anyway. after ripping through everything, he left the car trashed, gave us the ticket and a mandated court date. We go to court as she plead not guilty, and I told the judge what happened, how I asked to see radar proof and how he illegally searched us, and the ing fat pig lied and said he didnt search us at all and he showed us radar proof. I showed him the utmost respect until he started being a dick, told him my uncle was a 21 year vet and showed him my PBA card and shield, and the guy was a complete prick. yes, i HATE suffolk cops. they are the SCUM of the earth |

Stupid. |

Do I hate all cops? No. I know a few cops who are nothing short of awesome people. But when u get these young little pricks who are out to make a name for themselves or think they are hot crap bc they wear a badge, then I don't like them. I have had a few encounters with police, some the guy was real nice and treated me with respect and some the cop thought he was above me.

I fully agree with the sentiment about Cops not getting the respect they deserve. People love to call cops "lazy" and crap like that, not realizing the amount of sheer work that goes into the daily operations of an officer. They're all pigs and jerks until your husband is beating your face in and you need help, or your little brother gets shot and you need someone to investigate. What I find hilarious are the people who actually think that it'd be better with NO cops around at all.
Oh, and you think Cops have to deal with a lack of respect, try being a Correctional Officer. The amount of labeling and disrespect we receive from the general public is astounding.

They make insane amounts of money, insanely good benefits and all that. Now I don't hate them or anything else but they have it made. |

I dislike the police with a passion. Notice though the keyword is dislike. I respect some, Other's I can't stand well actually the majority I can't stand. They've caused me and my family nothing but trouble for as long as I can remember. I came home baked off my head one night with the police there and they arrested me. Refused to give me an answer on why and then I turned up to court with several different charges of things I hadn't even done. They had no right to arrest me because I was under the influence as I was at home and not in a public place. I've had them jump out of their car randomly and tackle me and a few friends and even kicked one of them in the head blaming us for something we didn't even do. Seriously them. every single one of them who thinks cause they have a badge makes them better then me. My brothers going into the career of a cop and I'm just praying he turns out to be a nice one. |
