Cops are drawn from the same pool of humanity as the rest of us; some of them are assholes and some of them are decent folks. Same as any other group. They get up, go to work, get in fights with their wives, get aggravated, have a good days, have bad days,And all the while they do a job where they know they’re going to piss somebody off during the course of the day, and it could have lethal consequences for both sides involved.
The problem is the assholes among them have guns and badges and the backing of the blue brotherhood…They need to learn to police themselves and get rid of the jerk offfs that give the rest of them a bad image.
I know cops and I’m a strong supporter, however, when I think back to my youth, they knew the good guys from the bad guys. Today that discernment is missing. I believe Allen West, and if anyone should be given a tip of the hat, it’s people like him and his family members. To see a decent person get the run around is disappointing. There are tons of bad guys out there. They need to solely focus on them while enjoying our support.
Good post.
