I know police are not popular today and seemed to be actually hated by many people. I realize that there are some policemen out there that tarnish the badge and act as if they are above the law.
Often times we break the law and when we get caught we get mad at the police officer who caught us. Most often our dealings with the police are not beneficial to us as seldom do they have reason to deal with honest people. And yes, they make mistakes and sometimes people die because of those mistakes. Some times it's the bad guy that is killed but some times it's an innocent person who suffers.
There is no amount of reasoning that can make a bad cop behave correctly just as there is no reasoning with bad people to obey the law and act nice. But because one officer acted in a way we think was wrong has seemed to motivate people to boldly attack and kill police officers with no justification. if those that hate officers would really stop and think what life would be like without them then they wouldn't like the new reality. I firmly believe that if ever person was law abiding and there were no speeders or thieves or burglars, or murderers, or arsonists, or crooks, or insider traders nor any other kind of mischief maker we would still need a police force.
Why I believe this is simple. There will always be situations occur when we need someone of authority to take control of it. Sometimes there will be large gatherings of people and there is a need of someone to take control to come to the aid of a person suddenly stricken with an illness. A traffic light quit working and no one knows who should proceed. A sporting event is over and everyone is leaving in their vehicles at the same time. A sudden storm comes up and people don't know where to go for aid, cover, or shelter.
If we all did what we were supposed to do then there would be no police to misbehave. I think it is time we stop hating all police because when all is said and done they are more necessary than we really care to admit.
