There is nothing wrong with being a cop. Most cops are decidedly conservative.
Do you really think there is no societal need for law enforcement? Really?
No. I have frienda who are cops. They are great guys I’d trust with my life. But they also would never justify brutish behavior by saying “act like a criminal get treated like a criminal.” They would let the courts decide first, who is a criminal, and second, how they should be treated.
