1. Good people who have a sense of duty and want to do a job that help the public/makes areas safer and better.

2. It is the family business. Your dad and grandpa were both cops so you were raised in that world and respect it so you become a cop. (this doesn't mean you can't be a bad cop, but most of them that I have met that fit this category are really good guys.

3. People wanting a stable, good paying job. Cops get paid pretty well and have very good benefits. It is also a stable job that is unaffected by economy and things like that. So some people become cops for the same reason other become electricians or mechanics or whatever, it is a good stable job.

4. jack asses that have low self esteem, crave power and find their cravings taken care of within this job. These are the people that fit all the sterotypical areas (picked on in school, little man syndrome, egomaniac etc)

In my experience only about 5% of them fit into the #4 area. There may be a few bad ones mixed in the other categories, but for the most part almost all of them that turn out to be bad cop end up being #4's To say that 4 out of 5 cops are power hungry bitches, in my experience, is just wrong. You sound like someone who had a bad experience and now assume every cop is that way or you are some kind of mope punkass who gets (got) caught doing things you shouldn't be and decide to blame the cops instead of taking responsibility for your actions.

So tell me, why do you hate them so?

PS this guy in this video and other seems like he is not a good guy and is power hungry and jackass so my post is not excusing him in any way.
