“But to try and depict every policeman as a “jackbooted thug” as the cop-haters do is absurd. I think many of these people have a history with the police they’re not telling us.”
First off I don’t “depict every policeman as a jack booted thug”. Just like I don’t depict every black as voting Democrat....And yea, I have a history with the police. Not that it’s any of your business but I’d be happy to share it with you privately. But why bother. You wouldn’t believe it anyway.
No, my point isn’t that there aren’t bad cops, my point was that some people, not necessarily you, were making hysterical claims about ALL!!! policemen being crazy, gun-wielding thugs who were eager to shoot any citizen for breathing wrong. Admit that many people have gone overboard in their criticism of police. We’d all like to weed out bad cops as much as bad criminals. Smearing all cops as evil is just wrong and stupid.
However if you did you would only be wrong about 1 out of 10 times. Great odds even in Poker.
