I'm neutral.

Some cops are really nice people just doing their jobs. They are fair and even compassionate.

Some are ass holes. And an ass hole with a god complex and power over life and death is dangerous.

There is a serious problem with the culture of many police departments where things like corruption, racism and sexism are rife.

Bad behavior is often overlooked. And good cops who report bad behavior by fellow officers are usually punished, ostracized, and even had their lives threatened.

Policing is like the military. It's hierarchical and everyone has to obey commands, even if the commands are unconstitutional or immoral.

I despise SWAT with their armor, face coverings, sophisticated weaponry and tactics.

I could go on and on, but I want to keep it short.

Anyway, we need police. But police should ultimately be accountable to the people. They should "protect and serve", not act like strutting goons of an occupying army where all citizens are seen as the enemy. They should be held to the same standards as regular citizens.

I support "constitutional sheriffs".

I wouldn’t say I love the police.


I don’t love them or hate them any more than I love or hate any other government worker.


As long as they’re doing their job, I don’t have a problem with them.


If they’re doing their job, good.


If they aren’t doing their job, bad.


Police brutality is a real occurrence.


However, there are a lot of honorable police officers who do their job properly as well.


Not all cops are good. Not all cops are bad.


There are good and bad apples in every profession.


At the end of the day, they are humans, like everyone of us — with the potential for both good and evil.


I neither pre-judge them favorably or unfavorably.


I allow their actions to speak for them.

I've met good ones and bad ones too. I remember trying to file a police report when I was being stalked and was not taken seriously. They thought I was lying. On the other hand, a police officer was very nice to me when somebody tried to slander me with the intention of throwing me in jail. He said he could get my enemy arrested in retaliation if that is what I wanted because telling lies about imaginary criminal activity is illegal.

Love? No. Appreciate them yes. I don't let the bad ones spoil opinion on all cops. I got a few officers in my family, and i can say i do wish they would change the way they do somethings, based somethings my family members told me

Nope personally I don't but they do function in society so there's that.
