The poster of that comment definately made it seem that he was very young and ignorant, as you are beginning to do.
You're right. I only know two cops personally. One was a bully in high school who became a cop. The other was a girl I knew who got her BS in criminal justice and became a correctional officer.
As for the other cops I know, here's a summary (and you tell me, which one was the nice one):
1. The cop who arrested my brother for not having a DL (story at the beginning).
2. The cop who stopped my brother and I for a traffic violation, then pointed his flashlight to some broken beer bottles and said:
"Why did you throw these here?". We were not even drinking nor had any bottles in our car.
3. The CHP officer who stopped me and cited me for "Driver not wearing seat belt properly". BS.
4. The Fish and Game officer who cited me for fishing in an area that was closed to fishing or the officer whom I previously called at the Fish and Game office, who stated that it was alright for me to fish there because I was not fishing for a particular species as noted in the confusing fishing handbook. ( I could've fought this in court, but that would mean taking a day off work since the court was in a town 70 miles away from my home and the fine was only $150. I had to make the tough decision to just pay the fine since that would be less costly than a day's work.)
Those were just my encounters, how about the cops who beat up "Rodney King" or the cops in San Francisco who beat up a couple of guys who refused to give their dinner up to them, or the cops who covered that up?
Granted, cops do good things, but like I said, so many of them use their badge to bully others.
