Actually, bardicverse (until I had to type your name, I've been calling you "bacardi" verse!) up until a week ago, I was a cop! I don't think I fit your stereotype, but I definitely know many officers that do. I think it's the downside of giving a guy a couple of months training, a gun, and permission to speed fast, and telling him "okay. You have the power to do whatever you want, just make sure you only do good".
I think our society DEFINITELY needs police. Just the presence of a police car is enough to deter some crime. I just think that a lot of people who get the job aren't the kind of people who should have the job.
