Read the newspapers? You didn't say you read it in the newspapers. you said, "I have seen way too many..." That doesn't mean you heard about it or read about it. Would you like to admit you may have just been exaggerating?"
Yes, the internet and newspapers do their level best to make the general public think poorly of law enforcement. Used to be an officer was able to use his/her discretion when dealing with the public but now with our "Zero Tolerance" society, officers have no choice but to ticket, punish, ridicule, tase, shoot, or lock us up.:W There's good and bad in all professions, overzealous people in all professions too, and definitely a huge lack of ethics in most professions now.
Funny how those in law enforcement always get their feelings hurt when someone post that they have or may have been treated unfairly by an officer. I was a mechanic for 20+ years but I don't get hot under the collar when people run down my chosen profession, I know some mechanics are crooks just as some cops are crooked. It is what it is!:B Let’s get back on topic and answer the OP’s question.
I was a cop and what does get me riled up is when people make things up. What "Zero Tolerance" society do you live in? I only retired two years ago and we never had a zero tolerance policy for anything but serious crimes. And no I'm not saying there aren't bad cops who do bad things. But I've seen nobody give me any examples of anything a cop has done bad that they personally witnessed.
