This is just depressing...When's the last time you heard a positive story about a police officer? The phrase "to protect and to serve" is commonly affiliated with the police department. But when people think of the police and the first thing that pops up in their heads is "uh-oh", there is a problem. The first thought when you see a police officer should be "I'm safe". Right? The police is supposed to make us feel safe. So then why do we get all fidgity when we see a cop on the road? Your heart starts beating a litle faster, you start driving extra slow, you go through the checklist in your head to make sure you're not doing anything wrong, adjust your mirror a little bit. Not to say I don't respect people that are police officers and what they do, but what I think alot of them don't understand is they are just people. Like everyone else. When they get off work, they are just regular people. They don't all ALWAYS completely stop at a stop sign, or ALWAYS obey the speed limit, come on. That was the first time I've seen that Rodney King beating and its pretty clear, in no way shape or form, should anybody be allowed to do that to anybody. You can't just be going around stomping on people "because you are the police". You just can't do it. Because if you WERE allowed to do that, I would join the academy ASAP.
I just recently heard about some cops in Fullerton beating a homeless man into a coma. Really? A homeless dude?
Like why do I have to hear every other day about the police beating somebody new? Thats what I wanna know. It happens so often that I'm hearing about it this much. It's scary. Next time I get pulled over I feel like the cop is just going to grab me by the back of my head and slam it against the steering wheel.
