People love to bash cops - they work a high-profile job in the community and walk around with targets on their back. They're not Robocop - they're human beings just like the rest of us. Yet people never seem to hesitate and shine the spotlight of attention on ANY mistake they make and wrongly hold that up as an example of all cops.
Its biased-based ignorance. |
Yep, I too have several very good friends that are cops. I would say 98% of them are good people that are doing a very tough job that they get little credit and lots of criticisms for. One of my friends tells me that many situations you show up to and there is no good ended, there is just bad and worse and you have to choose the least of the evils and do this in a matter of seconds. Sadly, there are a few bad ones in the group and they are the ones that get all the attention.
