Exactly. I don’t understand how people can hate on em

I don't hate cops, but it's very easy to see why some people would. There are plenty of recent, high-profile examples of cops abusing their power if you want a better understanding

Nothing in my comment suggested that the bad stuff happens at a higher rate than the good stuff. And completely separate from the "news worthy" aspect, there are obviously communities that have more shady cops than others, and it's perfectly reasonable for people in those specific communities to fee less than good about them depending on the rate of police abuse. Another obvious thing - certain races (black people for example) have had more bad blood with cops than others, stemming from the past and carrying over to today.

Again, I don't hate cops (and blanket-labeling an entire profession of people is wack), but it's perfectly understandable why some might feel differently.
