Is it normal that i strongly dislike cops?

Is this normal or do some feel that they provide some sense of security? I have been profiled too many times by them, getting pulled over for bs (like touching a line) and then harassed (all because I looked at him with slight distaste) . Usually I like to ask a cop what he received his bachelors degree in to determine the level of ignorance I am dealing with (joke being most of them have no form of higher education). Maybe this is just my personal experiences talking and maybe most of you are mundane enough for them to leave you alone, but I no longer believe they are trying to protect society rather they are looking for ways to make money. Most of them I've encountered are usually on a power trip thinking guns outweigh intellect and common sense. In this information era we are living in, society seems to be more isolated and controlled (facebook/aim/tv/videogames/internet) giving cops less reason to exist; thus, I believe their sudden rise to insanity is due to them not being able to maintain their previous lifestyle from the past years. Sigh, as Plato once said, “Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.”

btw I live in ohio which passed a law allowing cops to pull you over if they "think" you are speeding. No need for any independent speed measuring equipment here, cops word is golden with their PhD in eye balling speed, ethnicity, status, and potential quota fulfillment.

    I have the same strong dislike for the police. Dirty ass corrupt pigs with a bullied childhood.

    The cops need to change their little slogan from "To protect and to serve" to "To harass and intimidate."

  • I'm scared of police, or anyone with power =/ I've never broken the law and I don't intend to do so, but I'm scared of being wrongly accused of something and end up in prison for something I didn't do, I know it does happen... Or corrupt police, like those who beat people up for no reason just because they have authority.

    I feel the same way and wish I didn't because it's quite a negative outlook. But I have yet to meet an officer who has given me reason to think differently. There's a saying that you one tell the state of a society by how their police force treats their citizens.

        Let me correct that. There's a saying that one can tell the state of a society by how their police force treats their citizens.

      are you kidding me? Cops almost never intervene, they just show up after the crime to draw the line around the body. Now fireman I respect, medics but cops, not so much.
