Reply #14: One of my oldest, dearest friends is a cop... [View All]

I used to babysit for one when I was a kid too. Both are honest, caring individuals who do their jobs well.

I live in an area where mortgages are upside down, empty houses all around, people walking away from their homes... these homes become havens for criminals and crack heads... gunshots are a common occurrence. When they set the pergola of an empty home on fire, I called the police and had them contact the fire department because no fireman should show up there first.

I love my local cops. Every one I've met is a decent person who takes their "to protect and to serve" slogan very seriously.

That said, no matter how you want to slice and dice society, there will be assholes in each and every group.
