Oh, I don't blame you. If I thought well of cops I'd feel the same way. That positive feeling is to be cherished and protected, because one day it may protect you. Or, you know, you might get unlucky and get swatted by accident, or an ex-wife claims you hit her, or you meet a cop just having a bad day, and you'll have a different experience. That you haven't won the shit lottery doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it just means you're lucky. And also, consider the impact of being wrong here. Like, if your opinion is taken seriously, then there's nothing wrong, then why? Is it that my basic assumption that power corrupts is wrong? Or do you disagree with the premise that cops aren't held accountable when they abuse their power? In either case, surely you see enough evidence that police, both here and abroad, are constantly struggling with issues of corruption and abuse, sometimes directed at one ethnicity, but always at non-officers.
