Reply #58: Well, isn't this a DU thread of which to be proud? Liberals hate and distrust cops. [View All]

That has to be a freeper's PR wet dream. They could simply use this thread and condemn Democrats with their own words: "they hate cops". Wouldn't that play well with middle America. What a great way to win people over to our side, to have them listen to our point of view.

How is this different from racism where you blame an entire group of people for the actions of a few? How does anyone here know exactly how many cops are good or bad? Personal experience? That is anecdotal and if it doesn't work for those who oppose our point of view, then it shouldn't be used as proof here either.

I have worked with the police and the vast majority of the ones I have experience with have been good. I have been stopped for traffic offenses and have been treated professionally then also. Are the police perfect? No, just like the rest of us. Unfortunately it is a profession that attracts exactly the wrong kind of people. Deal with that, but don't smear an entire group of people for the actions of a few. Leave the hate and that kind of attitude to the Republicans. Why would any of us want to be like them?
