I will jump on any cop that is stupid, corrupt, or other specific shortfall, but to call all cops stupid is too broad a brush to be ignored. My father was on the job for over 20 years making his community safe, and he is proud of his service, as am I. Calling my father stupid just doesn't get it.
i have had very few good dealings with cops. i try to put a "most" in front of cops, but in general, no, i don't like them. very few of them that i have met is anything more than a power hungry thug. i have known a few good ones, but anymore most of them seem to either be waiting to retire or new hires that that only got into police work to legally bully people. the vast majority of cops see more intent on generating revenue by harassing people than they are in any actual policing of the communities.
there are good cops, just like there are good politicians, its just that they seem to be few and far between.
Most of the people who don't like our Sheriff have been his guest at the Crossbar Motel, a little Bed & Breakfast that he runs downtown. They get to wear his trademark pink underwear, and it ruins their dispositions toward law enforcement. When you're in uniform you can always tell those guys because of the way they look daggers at you. This one sounds like one of those.
