Is having too many cops a good thing?

All over the World crime is overriding security forces especially in the US ..

ABSOLUTELY.  Cops have been given entirely too much power and abuse it on a daily bases, AND they get away with it!  Most cops are those guys who were kicked around and stepped on in their school days...so they are out to get even when released into society with their shiny new badges!  Also, it doesn't matter if you are the victim or not, once they judge you, it's all over and then THE COPS victimize you one way or another!

I see dope all over the place. I think you should get one in case the cops come and get you.

Your right, there not all the same. But the ones that have been total jerks, and have taken advantage of their position-have given Police Officers a bad name. The ones who beat up people while they are arresting someone, the ones who get off using their tazers more than once on someone, the ones who treat people inhuman while you are jailed-I could go on and on. I have talked to people, and heard the most ugliest stories-It's a CONTROL factor for some humans using their job to hide behind! BUT, God Bless the good Officers!  They put their best foot forward, and their life may be in constant danger protecting us. They are Angels sent from Heaven!

Well living in NJ I get NY news so I hear everything that happens there. I think in a whole the NYPD are good people doing a difficult job but like in life there are a few bad apples. Now talking about what happened to the 23 year old who just got killed I think 50 shots is ridiculous. I can't say it was a racial thing and it could have been a white guy who had gotten killed just the same BUT (and I don't know all the facts) it sounded like the guys were trying to get away from the cops. I think the Cops (who were undercover) may have just looked like a bunch of guys with guns pointing at then so they wanted to get away. They were in their car ramming other cars and almost hitting a cop but maybe they didn't know he was a cop just a wacko with a gun pointed at them and if it was you wouldn't you run someone over or hit some cars to get away? Now they are saying that one of them was over heard saying he was going to get his gun before this all happened and that is why the cops followed them but none was found and no shots other then the cops were fired so I am thinking it isn't looking good for the cops right now and I am sorry for the family of the man who died! It stinks!!!

I respect the police at most of the places, ones where they have done or atleat have tried to do good work. \nBut mostly I have heard (ya , just heard) negative stories about how police man have used their position for undue favours. I would certainyl hate such a class. \n\nBut then, I think we need them, we depend on them. They mostly do a good job, or atleast their presence is a comfort to the common man.

I've been reading the news, and I've read that over 100 people, police, civilians and gang members have been killed in gang attacks on police stations.  Did you read or know of that?  Well, then guess what the police retaliation was all about.  Remember that the police in some countries, are not as restricted by the courts as our's here in the States.

Folks flee from police and get clean away every day.  It's no major accomplishment - usually just good judgement on the cop's part not to chase some idiot who'll probably get himself or someone else hurt in the chase.  It's really amazing that the cops, who are encumbered with heavy equipment, unfathomable rules of engagement, and an almost totally hostile operating environment, ever catch anyone at all - especially young, healthy, and nimble kids who know the terrain.  My personal favorite tactic is to arrest the friends of the guy who runs and make sure I load them up with charges so that they'll kick the crap out of the runner later.

One officer, or two officers in one car, cannot pull over four cars at the same time. It's just like pulling over a car for speeding when several other cars are speeding, too. You were probably the last one of the group that ran the light. So you were the first they got to.\n\nIf you had been #2 or #3 in line, instead of last, you would have gotten away and the guy in the back would have gotten the ticket. It is only "selective" because they picked the last car in line. They didn't pick based on the driver, vehicle type, or anything other than just position.\n\nFair? Maybe not. But until we have one patrol car for every civilian car, the odds are stacked in the civilians' favor. You just got unlucky today.

No.  No one wants to lose their job after extensive study and training.  If anything, cops are too afraid to go after a protected class for fear of having to defend a lawsuit or have it on their career record.  Unless, of course they catch a person in the act of committing a crime - and only then after their are 20 or more eye witnesses.

Ugh!!!  Don't even!  They are usually overtly nice because if something is to come up...that's the topic.  Cops always pick on the people that are pointing guns, robbing etc...black, white whatever.\n  As in everything there are some bad apples.

Brave helper....Most police I no are awesome, I have respect for the police, they make sure all the criminals are off the streets and they keep us safe, who wouldn't want that?...there are a few that can be rude and grouchy but I just say a prayer for them and move on and be polite...God bless

You can have as many as you want. The question is whether they will want to as well.

You certainly have some hangups with cops. Why not tell us what your experiences have been so we can get a better understanding of your immature responses and grudges towards police?  Maybe the obsession you seem to have with your penis and the exagerations your gf's must tell you to perform are somehow related.  \n\nFrom: gaylord focker \n\nSubject: hey \n\nMessage: Dallas blue, everybody has to go sometime right. Dont give me your bull of the cops funeral, what about when a cowardly cop shoots someone in the back, or someone that is unarmed, or mentally disturbed, what abouth the families, have you ever been to one of those funerals, have you seen the pain in the mothers, or sons eyes?, I wonder how many civilians cops kill vs civilians killing cops, I would say for every cop killed, 20 civilians are murdered by cops. Have you ever thought about this?

I have been in law enforcement for over 24 years.  I work in a major agency that handles an average of 25,000 calls for service every month.  Out of all of those calls, no one ever looks at the good we do.  \n\nI can tell you that over the years I have been involved in many violent situations.  It is not like T.V., its very hard to arrest someone that doesn't want to be arrested. Also, we are not a bunch of martial arts experts that can control someone with one fancy move.\n\nI will admit that I have seen a few real cases of police brutality over the the year.  But, 99 % of the accusations are false.
