Despise them. For several reasons. The primary reason being the extortion that they commit on such a regular basis. Fines for the sake of satisfying quotas in order to generate revenue for the state=extortion.

I've also had personal experiences with them that have all been terrible.

One night we're at a party, we are all of age, and two people get in a fight over a girl. We call the cops. So the cops get there and immediately start drawing their weapons on everyone and forcing us all into a circle where they search us at gunpoint. When we called them to help us. My one friend was passed out and not waking up quickly enough, so a cop felt it necessary to hold his eye open and pepper spray him directly on the eye ball from an inch away.

Another incident was when we were underage. Fair, it was illegal. Cops showed. We all went to court. And guess what. Charges dropped against everyone, because one of the officers groped a fourteen year old girl when 'searching' her.

Another time, my twin brother when he was fifteen was skateboarding behind a post office on a Sunday. Cop pulls up. Does he kick him out? Drive him home? Cite him with a small ticket? No. He handcuffed him and left him in the back of a hot car for two hours.

And also, the fact that they kill ten thousand dogs a year, mostly to shut them up when they commit no knock raids is despicable. The 40% spousal abuse rate is obscene, considering that it's double the normal rate for non cops. And civil asset forfeiture is quite literally a racket used to steal money from people before they are even convicted. Yet I never see any 'good cops' saying 'hey maybe we shouldn't kill so many dogs, beat our wives, or steal money from people who haven't been convicted. Maybe we shouldn't stick up for off duty officers who commit premeditated murder by slapping them on the wrists and intentionally failing to fully investigate them? Maybe we shouldn't rehire officers that were fired from other departments for unethical practices?' 'Good' cops won't cross that thin blue line in order to purge their bad apples, so in my opinion that means 'good' cops don't exist. A few bad apples ruin the bunch, and they'd rather stew with some rotten apples than maintain their integrity.

So tldr: fuck the police
