are you people serious? I dare you to spend just ONE day in their shoes doing their jobs and then come back and spout off about how awful cops are. These men and women put their lives on the line EVERY FRICKEN DAY fighting very dangerous people to keep your ungrateful, sorry asses safe.

Actually being a police man is a pretty safe job. Statistically, my job during childhood and until I was 24 was much more dangerous (farming). I was never called a hero, and am actually ridiculed when I support agriculture and US farmers.
The third most common cause of death on the job in 2000 was homicide, which claimed 677 workers. Fifty cops were murdered. But so were 205 salespeople.

haha, I was just going to post a list myself, I don't recall what year this is though(05 maybe), but I know 2006 is about the same. My job is also more statistically dangerous than a cops. I am a garbage man, hell I was almost killed 4 times today. Between almost being run over, falling off the truck, getting stuck with needles and not to mention chemical smells its amazing I am still alive.

Not to gang up on you, but I would love to work as a cop for oneday. 80% of there job is paperwork. Also, not one cop has ever put thier life on the line for me and I doubt they ever will(my 2 best friends are cops). They are not here to protect us, they are here to fill out the report after something has happened.
I believe a large portion of cops do the right thing and are good people. Sadly, we hear more about the 'bad' ones or we have had our own bad experiences. However, I agree that that unless there is reason, cops should not have free reign to break traffic laws themselves. I think they should be held accountable, just like the rest of us.

As we see things here we don't know what some of these people's experiences with officers have been in the past. Which in turn affects what they may say on here about officers. I've had my good experiences with them and bad, very bad with them which had not to do with my behavior but more much more to do with the color of my SKIN.
Some do but many don't abuse this power to inforce that has been given to them. However this does not allow the rogue ones who think and feel they can do whatever they want just because in your opinion *put their lives on the line EVERY FRICKEN DAY*
If they abuse this power to inforce then what the original poster did is totally appropriate and you should take some other appropriate angle on your position.
