To serve and protect. Words synonymous with the police force. But I’ve often wondered about police themselves. They are normally so feared by the public and such an avenue of corruption.
Now I fully admit, I’ve met some good and great cops. I’ve know some that I knew I could call on and trust. But I’ve also known the opposite. I’ve met good for nothing cops that cast a shadow of shame across law enforcement in general.
There was a great movie line, from one of my favorite movies of all time, if not my all time favorite, The Chase
, that stated how the only people cops come in contact with, on a day to day basis, is the worst of society. Pimps, pushers, liars.... Soon you start feeling everyone is that way. And this I see the most of. Sometimes a cop will automatically think the worst in someone, for whatever reason, and treat them like a criminal when that someone doesn’t deserve it.
