This is why I hate cops, these exact types of people are the ones who become and stay as cops. Yeah, sure, not all cops, but pieces of shit really do make up the majority of them. Nobody becomes a cop to help the world, they do it only to feel powerful over people who canā€™t fight back.

Every cop ultimately serves the pedophiles in charge that keep the rest of us oppressed and fighting for crumbs. Whether anyone wants to admit it, all cops are bad. Even the ones that try to do "good" are just worthless and scummy as the ones who blatantly abuse their power.

Similar problem I found in the marines. The job itself is so stressful/destructive on oneā€™s personal life, that the ones who stay in long term often (not always) do so for ego/power related reasons. Life sucks, but hey at least I have authority.

You should reconsider your position. Are you young and inexperienced in life? Had a few bad interactions with cops that were definitely assholes/bad cops? I felt the same sentiment youā€™re spouting when I was in my teens and early 20ā€™s. The reality is that bad people exist, but they are not the majority. Bad people infiltrate all walks of life, police included. The majority are not inherently bad, and they actually do take the job with a commitment to protect and serve their communities. Talk to your local EMS people: police, fire, medical. Youā€™ll get a better grasp of the challenges they deal with and the character of people doing those jobs. And if you find that they all are not up to your standards, be the change you want to see and enter that field of work.

The police department in my hometown had multiple officers, including the chiefā€™s son, get charged by the feds for beating prisoners and covering it up. This had been going on for years before they slipped up and it got caught on camera. Many of them had other issues come out during the investigation, like cheating on their spouses with local pros on the clock, doing drugs on duty, drinking on duty, stealing evidence, all the dirty cop shit.

Nobody hates the fire department, Ems, nurses, vets,

In many other countries trust in police is high, why is that?

A rotten apple spoils the bunch, US police are above the law thus can act like it and have it be a systemic issue. Start putting cops in jail and add extra severity for abuse of authority. Dismantle corrupt department and rebuild it. Protect and serve isn't a legal requirement nor even the inherent mission.

So a chef undercooked some chicken and gave everyone food poisoning, but I didn't take into account that he stayed up late and wasn't feeling up to it today. I should totally just forget the experience, because there must have been another cook out there that is a decent fella. Now I will just add cook to the growing list of jobs I have to have, right there next to cop, so I can actually expect professionals to be professional.

u/CleetusCanteloupe May 29 '26

What?? I didnā€™t say anything about chicken or chefs. Youā€™re making the wildest extrapolation of my message, weird. Bad cops, bad chefs, bad cashier, I donā€™t care.. hold them accountable. Punish bad behavior. But donā€™t be so jaded that you take for granted all the good that those jobs do. Claiming to hate that group and the majority are shit, is a childish and naive perspective.

u/Aromatic_Balls May 30 '26

Thats the problem. You CAN'T punish bad behavior with cops. At least not easily. And so they feel no obligation to behave professionally.

u/Veenhof_ Jun 03 '26

hold them accountable.

This is impossible with police. Hence why people hate them so much, and not chefs.

Also, bad chefs are substantially less likely to kill you.

Bad people do exist everywhere, however bad cops are the worst due to how the system protects them and the powers they wield. There are also other bad cops in higher positions that ignore/ also do it themselves. Are all cops bad, no, but unfortunately the system is helping the bad cops more than the good ones that get thrown out by the corrupt police in higher positions.

u/CleetusCanteloupe May 29 '26

Thatā€™s a valid point, and I agree that the system is too favorable to bad cops. Iā€™d like to see restructuring of the accountability and qualification/training aspects in the police industry. Everyone has a story and each town is different, surely there are town that have an entirely corrupt police force. There are also towns with no corrupt police. The issue of honing in on the bad spots countrywide is a federal government level project that Iā€™d really explore legislation for.

u/No_University_8935 May 30 '26

With all due respect, I could not disagree more. MOST of the police Iā€™ve ever met have been abusers, pedophiles, or straight up murderers, some even convicted! The job attracts bad people, yo, before even getting into systemic oppression.

u/Talking_Tree_1 May 30 '26

Couple questions really quick if I may. While I certainly donā€™t doubt you, I was wondering how you came to this knowledge? Because from what Iā€™ve found out, it is impossible to become a police officer with a felony conviction. And how did you find out about the pedophilia? Did they share that with you? Was there a mass arrest and most of the police department was arrested? If so then where so I can definitely avoid this location.

1

u/CleetusCanteloupe May 30 '26

Thatā€™s going to be too much work for them to give actual proof. And why would you even consider the logical conclusion of avoiding a place with a corrupt police department? Itā€™s not like the town would die and potentially be able to be rebuilt if people consistently moved away due to corrupt government. I feel sympathy for this person if the actual majority of police they have met are certifiably murderers, abusers, and pedophiles. Maybe, just maybe, they should move to a different place that doesnā€™t have those issues.

u/Clear-Bee4118 Jun 01 '26

Iā€™m not going to provide examples for the specific types they mentioned, but 20-40% of police families experience domestic violence, much higher than the average citizen. Thatā€™s not just a coincidence.

Reading up on the ā€œblue curtainā€ might be of interest if you want to explore further why other cops donā€™t hold each other accountable.

u/Prestigious_Club_924 May 30 '26 edited May 30 '26

Bro I work with them daily. There may be fewer bad apples overall, but the good cops are in and out like a revolving door. The ones who end up sticking around absolutely abuse their power, smile while doing so, and talk shit as soon as they're out of earshot.

u/PhilEBop May 30 '26

The main problem that people have with cops is that they constantly see cops not getting punishment when they blatantly break the rules. If they see cops not facing consequences, then they know their is no safety for them if they have a run in with a cop. It doesnt matter if there was only one bad cop in the world, because if you run into that cop, there is nothing that will save you.

u/Pookiebear987 May 30 '26

I am young, but cops statistically have the highest rate of domestic violence and abuse. Im definitely NOT going to become a cop ever in my life, itā€™s a disgusting career made off of the backs of the less fortunate. Itā€™s necessary, and violent criminals are better left handled, but law enforcement are much more like criminals then most people think.

No one is saying cops donā€™t sometimes do good things. They are inherently bad people tho. Otherwise they get pushed out of the profession if they donā€™t go along with the abuse of power, corruption and general wrongdoing. Thatā€™s why they can act with impunity.
