Hm, I’m quite possibly in what you would consider the “anti-cop contingent;” let me ask you this: have you ever had the police barge onto your property,weapons drawn, because you were acting within the legal bounds of the law? I have. I also know that the 911-call that they were responding to was complete hearsay and that they refused to identify themselves (i.e. name & badge-number) when confronted by a neighbor.
Also, why should I trust an organization that claims to enforce the law yet enforces illegal laws?
Oh, don't get me wrong, those cops were buttheads. So were the nasty female cop that threatened me with arrest for standing on a sidewalk with a protest sign minding my own business. But that doesn't mean all cops are bad, or that there aren't some whole departments that suck and some whole departments that are really professional. In fact, every other interaction I've had with law enforcement has been professional, including a run-in with more cops on the same street corner a few weeks later.
I stand by my statement. Much of the anti-cop stuff on this board amounts to bigotry, plain and simple.
BTW, what did you do about those cops?
