You don't like any cops? Not even the ones who protect and serve in ways that make us all proud. What about the cops that died in the WTC attacks? You hate them too? I'm just trying to understand. I can see railing against the small percentage of crooked, unethical cops, but to lump all of them in the same category makes no sense.

I like my cop friend, but then I've gotten to know him, and he's gotten to know me. Plus, he's retired. I never had to deal with him on a civilian-cop level.

The cops who died in the WTC, and those others who die helping people, are to be commended. However, having lived in New York City for some time, I can tell you that those cops who died in the WTC were probably like the other cops I encountered in New York: stupid, rude, not particularly helpful.

A paradox? Maybe. Reality -- from my experience with cops, yes.
