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.

because cops shoot people, for kicks it seems, on another note it might be the teen instinct to hate the cops

because cops shoot people

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

*mind explodes*

[chibilibi]

The reasons involve a lot of politics, so we can't talk about it here.

To be fair, there were a few cops recently exposed in shootings that were completely unnecessary.

With that said, people take things too far. They need to respect law enforcement and that they are there to protect people. We shouldn't be antagonizing them.

Shouldn't we hate construction workers just as much, if they're involved in even more accidental deaths?

Well...we aren't seeing news reports of construction workers killing other construction workers or random people for no particular reason. I was talking about the shootings that WERE completely unnecessary, such as one where a cop shot a man in the back five times...then walked over and placed a taser on his body. That is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.

But I do still think this recent police antagonism brought on by certain groups are taking things too far and their rhetoric is way too hostile.

Frankly it's a stupid TV show. There's no plot and none of the characters are likable.

Too many dumb rednecks. You never see a cop chase down a banker or something on the show.

So just because it's not on the news, means it's not important?
I'm sure plenty more people die in construction accidents, than police shooting accidents.
Is it just an issue of someone who's supposed to be an authority figure killing people, or is it part of our natural desire to do whatever we want. And a Cop is just the equivalent of a little kid changing how he acts in front of his friends, if his parents are watching.

I agree to a point. But you are spinning the topic and ignoring the wrongful killings that have taken place. Cops HAVE shot people for no good reason. BUT, people have taken the anti-cop position too far and used far too hostile rhetoric.

In America, it's because the justice system has been repurposed as a means of criminalizing poverty. Most people still see cops as the people meant to protect & serve, but heavy handed measures like Prohibition which have led America to have the highest prison population/capita of any developed nation tend to sow some distrust.

Do remember that in America, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The only people who are shot and can be said to deserve it are those sentenced to death and executed by firing squad. And that's only if you're cool with giving the State the right to kill people.

But those people are being killed accidentally. Like if they appear to be holding a weapon. I see little difference between this, and a construction worker accidentally killing an innocent person.

Is it truly murderous and evil to kill someone by accident?
