Reply #8: I, for one, am sick to death of "cop bashers" [View All]

And that means people who bash cops.

Try living in a world without police. I'm sure you'd love it. It's called the "wild frontier". Hope you have plenty of guns and ammo, because you're gonna need them. You will be defending yourself every single day.

I have friends who are cops who also, AMAZINGLY, are decent people. Some of them are even (GASP) Republicans. They also are not racists and will give their own lives to defend any innocent civilian-- regardless of skin color, class, or whatever. It's why they chose that line of work.

The cops that did this are horrible people and absolutely must be prosecuted and punished to the full extent of the law. There ARE horrible cops, just like there are horrible firefighters and truckers and CEOs of major corporations. Just like there are horrible black people and white people and Hispanic people. Just like there are horrible people in general (and more now, it seems, than ever before). But let's not make a blanket statement about people who, for the most part, go into that line of work to SERVE the community, not to torment others.
