Unless it happens to you.

For the most part, but I have met some bad ones.

No! Most of our police force, were the bullies in school.

I trust our Sheriff, He was elected. I do not trust our appointed police chief.

Just have them replace all police officers with robots. I don't get myself into trouble, therefore I can avoid that

Some say they were the ones bullied, now you say they WERE the bullies. Were you picked on in school?

I don't get myself in trouble, but I don't trust the police one iota, for reasons that have been discussed many times.

Exactly.

I am weary of any powerful entity by nature. I recognize the police are composed of human beings and as such, they are fallible- prone to error, temptations, greed, and arrogance. I rest easy knowing there is Miranda and the Constitution.

Having said that, the police have a very tough, thankless job. They are the first to get blamed for everything. Most do a decent job and they have helped me on occassion.

Imagine life without them.
