I have had copthugs tell me that they know that most people hate them because they write traffic citations. I tell them that is not why I hate them. They ask, “OK, why do you hate us?”
I reply, “Because you spend every waking moment from the time you wake up until you go to sleep, whatever hours you work. trying to determine how you can eff your fellow human beings, and not only that: You try to figure out how many of your fellow human beings can you eff and how hard can you can eff each and every one of them.” They get self-conscious, stutter, stammer and do not have an answer.
Your statement is not far off the mark.
I’m generally pro-law enforcement. However, I have noticed one thing about cops and it’s a question I’d like to ask...
“So tell me, Officer. In junior high and high school, were you one of the bullies or were you one of those who were bullied. I ask this because it seems like a number of officers view their job as an opportunity to go on post high school bullying and other view it as a way to make up for the times they were bullied. Which one is it?”
That's funny.
You know less than nothing about LEOs, and the scenario you spell out has never happened to me in the 20-someodd years of service I've accumulated, or the hundreds of officers I work with.
What animates people to put their lives on the line in order to help complete strangers, is because they have goodness and love in their hearts.
That kind of makes you an awful person and a coward.
