99% of police---- do their jobs excellently, save lives, help protect the community---most people shrug, occasionally thank them, otherwise ignore them.
1% of police---either are assholes or make one mistake---some people blame all police for them, talk trash about all police officers.
Some people are just flat out ungrateful.

They are generally compensated generously at the public expense and are additionally feted with public accolades, parades, community dinners, endorsements, etc. I think there is far too much thin skin among the 'blue line'.
Yeah, because they've protected---and continue to protect----said public.
It's not surprising people will show gratitude occasionally, especially when the officer in question is a local boy.
Yet people still demonize all officers for the actions of a small minority, despite that service.
It's not that, although it doesn't help the situation. (Still typing, please don't quote yet)....
You ok?
And yeah, people do that a lot of the time. Mostly because they don't seem to understand the concept that, like in every other profession, there are some assholes, but that doesn't mean all the members of said profession are assholes.

No I am not alright. The system timed me out before I could finish my thought and now I am so pissed at how often this happens I don't want to respond anymore. :2mad:

No, 99% of police do NOT do their jobs excellently. If they did then they wouldn't look the other way when their fellow bad officers abused their authority. No, the cops who actually do their jobs excellently don't last on the force long.

They have loyalty to their fellow officers. Sometimes this loyalty is misplaced. However, it is understandable why people look the other way, not just in police work, but in other jobs as well.
They are putting their loyalty to their fellow officers above their duty to the law. To their duty to the job we pay them to do. I'm not saying I would be any better if I were a cop. I likely wouldn't. And I'm not saying it makes them bad people. But it makes them bad cops.

Some specific groups of selfish, intolerant, authoritarian, violent, racist, and hypocritical people do..
It's ok for you when the target is muslims, Orly, so I'm not sure what the whine is about.

I wonder how well you would do with a Muslim LEO who stated he has been on a Jihad for the past 20 years?
Well, that was entertaining. Cops should always be able to handle that sort of situation without going off the rails. If some 12-year old sounding girl spouting nonsense gets an officer worked up, adrenaline flowing, etc., they may not be cut out for the job? That girl breaking down at the end was too funny, great finale. What was she saying, she's a "free citizen", she can be in the country but doesn't have to follow it's laws. Call your superior, they will tell you the same thing. wth? Later when her arm is being twisted to cuff her, because this bitch is going in the back of his cruiser at this point Officer: "This is pain compliance, its not supposed to feel good"Speaking of excellent cops : This officer deserves a huge raise.
