(Truly Sorry)For everyone that read my post about the cops.Please read.

At the risk of sounding ignorant on the matter, I believe the problem is twofold: 1. It doesn't take a very intelligent individual to be a local, or even a State Cop. In my area, all it takes is for you to be 21 yo, Act 120 Certified, and have a proper Drivers License, and no Felonies on your record. A High School Diploma, or a GED is all the education that is required. They are unable to think for themselves with only that level of education imo, which leads me to the second problem: 2. Cops are not taught during their "Academy" or whatever they call it to "Protect & Serve". Moreso, how to "restrain & arrest" if you go by what you see in these Police Training shows they have on TV anyhow. They aren't taught to be "People Persons", and tend to look at themselves NOT as the protectors of society, but rather the enemy of society. These are usually the guys who are fresh out of Acadeny & are wet behind the ears. The older guys seem to have their act together once they realize what they are actually supposed to be there doing, i.e., "To Protect & Serve".

Well, it is good to see you are over your fina rage and finally made an intelligent post. But do keep in mind that this holds more true to smaller towns than in larger cities - where the bar is raised.

and before anybody jumps to any conclusions about my stance on cops.

I used to be on the Civil Service Commissin in my City - basically - I hired and fired cops and firemen. I had tremendous respect for the majority of the policemen on our force - But, like i stated before there are bad cops and no cop is considered a good cop just b/c he is a cop.
