Here is my thought. I believe that they take their career seriously like anyone else. I personally manage a drycleaners. ( not much of a "career" but it pays MOST of the bills ) Anyway, I take my JOB seriously by enforcing the rules of my place. I HATE MY JOB, and i think that there are more cops than we are aware of that hate their jobs too. Cops are people too, BUT, There are a bunch of cops with some pretty messed up motives for doing the work they do IE; they were picked on through out highschool and now want their turn at power. MESSED UP MORALS ie; Busting sick people that use it not only for recreation but for their illnesses. another to throw in is the evidence planting that I HAVE fallen victim too, just because they " suspect you of doing something illegal " they feel the need to personally be responsible for locking you or ME up AT ALL COST. Probably the thing that i hate worst of all is profiling. I am not speaking of Racial Profiling, I am talking about the way they harass all of the young kids ( 16-20 ) and pull them over because they PROFILE or THINK all "teenagers" are up to no good. I got busted a long time ago with an Elbow and and they took my moms Mothers Day bracelet i bought her and kept it. Dirty fucker. To sum it up; We need cops to keep certain things safe, But, We can do without the harrassment of a peaceful people. SORRY I GET LONG WINDED ON THIS SUBJECT
