I have lost the respect for police that I had in my youth. They are now just municipal hacks who avoid the bad-guys and hassle the decent citizens.

Sad;y, I have come to the same conclusion. It hurts too - I used to be very pro-cop. Now it seems they're overrun with thugs. I know there are good cops out there - I just wish they'd clean up their own house.

They are now just municipal hacks...

If you remember this, you'll be OK.

Chandra Levy, Muhammad and Malvo come to mind.

Cops didn't find them... citizens did.

I've got two sons who are cops, and their first comment after six months on the job was "Most police are very stupid people with little commonsense and a huge power complex."
