Pull over....

Getting pulled over is never a fun thing. With that being said, you're getting pulled over for a reason. Whether it's because you blew a stop sign or a red light, going a little too fast or the opposite extreme where you got yuked for drunk driving or something, 99% of the time, there is a damn good reason. It's not a matter of there being a "quota" that needs to be met here people. You were driving like an asshole.
It boils down to this. When you're the one getting pulled over for whatever reason, the cop is an asshole, but if you saw it happening and some other guy was Driving in the same way you were, your thoughts become, "Where the hell are the cops and why aren't they doing their job??!??" It's a no win situation. I guess cops are just dicks. That is until those very same people hear a bump in the night or something happens and these very same "dicks" are showing up on the doorstep or running into the fray or whatever, risking their skins, asses and lives to do the very same job (as it is all part and parcel) that they were being called assholes for. Those very same police officers who may have been called assholes an hour before become heroes the next.... Go figure. It's just that kind of a thankless job, I guess.
You have law enforcement bashers who will vilify all police officers over the few "bad eggs". If we were to do that with everybody, well, there wouldn't be anywhere to turn now would there? Pry apart ANY organization and there are going to be skeletons in the closet. Especially when it's about people put into power or who are given power. A big one that comes into mind is politics.... How about religion? "Charitable organizations"? Please. There's no such thing a a good deed done with out it's rewards. And for law enforcement alone to be the ones bashed and called criminal? Abuse of power, what now?
Maybe I get a little more testy about these things because my Puppy Guts is a cop and some of my very good friends are cops. I'm sure that there is plenty of corruption within the law enforcement circles (just like with any other circle mind you), but to vilify everyone because of the uniform they wear.... It makes me realize just how stupid some people are.
