re: Cops are Heros and they protect us.

There are good cops and bad cops.... The problem that I see is that the Good Cops are becoming tainted by the Bad Cops.... Cops take care of their own.... willing to cover up, tamper with evidence....etc.... No one is policing the police... and the Police are becoming more militarized every year.... Many Police could care less of your rights and are more than willing to trample on them to benefit their own cause... Why do so many Cops want it to be illegal for you to videotape them.... ? Makes you wonder right.... I am all for Good Cops.... but there are so many corrupt ones these days... it makes it hard to like any of them.... I ought to know.... I was harassed and humiliated in Public by a racist cop.... All the Bogus charges were dropped against me.... but it was scary.... this idiot with a badge was just mad at the world and willing to take it out on someone who was not his skin color.... FWIW.... I'm white.... and it happened to me.... If it were to ever happen to you.... it will change your views really quick...
