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. |
Yeah, I know! Everytime you typed my username, I wanted rum lol
And admittedly, it is a gross overgeneralization, not everyone fits that stereotype, but GOD there's a lot of them that do, as you said. I actually know a few policemen that are legit guys. That said, growing up in NYC, Ive seen a LOT of crooked cops, or ones powertripping.
