I get so sick and tired of anti cop attitudes because of a few assholes abusing their job or people complaning about getting a ticket from a dickhead cop when 90% of the time they actually DID what they were getting ticketed for.

As far as what happens when a cop gets put on leave during an investigation, it is standard procedure to place that officer on administrative leave with pay till the conclusion of the investigation. Why? Because all investigations, most investigations turn out to find that the Officer was properly performing his duties during the said event. Does that mean all officers do it right? Of course not, they like anyone else are human and prone to mistakes, bad character, etc. Those are sent packing in most cases or jailed and their punishment is hardly reported. Like I said the media likes to air the deed rather than the outcome. But they are most certainly NOT in the majority but a very very small fraction. In all my years I have yet to run up against a cop abusing his powers...

They do a job most people wouldnt want to do and they never get the benefit of the doubt or enough appreciation.

Answer me this, in this current time when most people have a bad opinion of the porn industry being full of morally bankrupt, bottom feeding monsters, do you think THIS is a fair assessment? Are we? Certainly not all of us but the media believes thats more interesting than your average law abiding citizen making a living supplying the oldest known forms of entertainment...
