Ok, that I can respect. But when people stereotype all officers as "pigs" or whatnot, then they are just being ignorant themselves. I never said cops don't make mistakes. Those who have known me on here for some time know that I never defend bad cops. But they also know my opinion that it is just as ignorant to want police to do something about crime and then hand them an empty toolbox to complete the job with.
Agreed, and I apologize. It's an affirmation of youth, unfortunately, to have the opinion that all cops are pigs. I'm sorry that I feel that way, and of course it's an ignorant viewpoint. I have no problems with giving police hammers, so to speak, so they can push in a nail, however I do have a problem when they blindly swing the hammer until they hit one.
I honestly don't have all the answers in that regard, but I will state one needed opinion: For what the police do, they need to be paid *significantly* more, however the standards used for police officers to be chosen need to of the *highest.* Most people have a problem with authority, and for good reason, and it doesn't help at all if those whom are in those positions of authority have the authoritative attitudes to go with them.
As for pay and standards, it doesn't appear that either of those things are true.
