We “hate” cops, because this is a site that centers around respect for the Constitution. Most, but not all (as everyone is so fond of explicitly stating these days), serve to abuse the rights we have under it, and employ a default corrupt/abusive stance of the citizens they are supposed to “protect and serve.”
If a lot of people all observe the same behavior, it likely has *some* legs to it.
Just sayin....
But of course there are plenty of military that do bad things and break legitimate law, I don’t think many people on here would argue against that pointespecially since there are plenty of documented facts contrary to that stance.
I’m judging this on its own merits, not on general prejudices against cops or armed forces.
Until I see more info I’ll generally side with the cops here.
On FR I challenge to find a thread where anyone rags on military. Meanwhile dog threads, e.g., are replete with anti-cop rantings. Although whenever it goes their way - Zimmerman/Trayvon event, riots by OWS or the like - there is silence as to whether the cops were bad or not.
