Why do people not like Cops?

[Amsel :D]

I'm related to too many people in the army to have them be the people I respect the most. So I chose police officers as my favorite people (Sorry Marines, Airforce, Navy, National Guard, Fire Department, Doctors, and Intelligence officers), I've been noticing the in the last few years there has been a giant trend of disliking cops. Can anyone explain why this hatred is spreading?

It seems mostly common in younger people.

People are entitled to opinions aren't they? Not a bad opinion saying that

I agree.

But my experience went home with me, and i shared it with my people. And i know another guy that also had a bad experience with them on a trip to the USA, turning the wrong corner and ending up in some protest rally type of thing. Also got some rough treatment.

Add to that the Rodney King beating and all the other cases that go around the world. That is what we, outside the US, are mostly seeing about american cops.

So in my opinion its better to be safe than sorry.

The Media has taken it's turn on criminalizing our law enforcement and scaring minorities into murdering them.

Every single mistake a police officer makes will now be aired publicly on the internet. But their deaths will only get one story.

They even get criminalized if they shoot someone armed and pointing a gun at them. It took hours for news sources to update that a felon was pointing a handgun at the them when he was shot and killed.

Because stupidity.

There have been good reasons here and there for people to hate specific groups of cops in the distant past, but overall they have no idea the horrors that could exists if they weren't around.

because cops shoot people

So people hate cops, because they shoot people who deserve to be shot?

*mind explodes*

Anyone shooting anyone is someone i wouldn't be around. No matter the background.

because they think they are better than everyone else just normal people at the end of the day

most people like the police. people who do not obey the law hate cops for enforcing the law. it has nothing to do with race problems, there are some people who just can't handle following rules and laws.

Maybe if they spent less time acting as glorified tax collectors ticketing innocent people for going 1k over the speed limit and actually stopping crime they would have my respect. Thanks for ticketing me on christmas eve for going 62 in a 60 zone, piggy. I have no sympathy for police ever again for ruining my christmas.

I don't like them in Britian because they're useless. If you were about to be raped or murdered, and did what the British law asks (DO NOT DEFEND YOURSELF, call the police) you'll die before they get there. That and, they pander to minorities, and let them do pretty much anything. For example, the whole Rotherham fiasco.

Because N.W.A said not to.

I always think it's the druggies and idiots that hate cops.

A manufacturer of a type of bullet proof vest for law enforcement made their product with material that deteriorated much quicker than they clamed it would rendering the vest useless after a certain amount of time and a danger to a police officers life. The company knew this but continued to advertise and sell their product. They reasoned that they could not afford to go back and upgrade the materials and remanufacture the vest. But said they could afford a wrongful death suit filed by a slain officer’s family due to the faulty vest. Because officers in many precincts across the country were still wearing the vests beyond the actual expiration dates of the materials known by the manufacturer.

The life of a police officer is not highly regarded by many in various ways. But if people were responsible in how they voted (that’s if they ever vote at all) and kept up with how their cities were run entities like law enforcement might be managed better than it is. The term “sheeple” gets bandied about a lot lately and when it comes to everyday citizens it seems that it’s pretty much apropos.

Scathing! I couldn't agree more.

I actually really like and respect police officers. I have never had an issue with one. I planned to become one as well at one point.

Because drugs are still illegal and we're only just coming to the realization of how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ our mass incarceration system is. They won't gain any popularity when they keep arresting people for things that shouldn't even be considered a crime (like smoking cannabis).
