These officers are doing little to make our lives safe, they are just living off the government teat, just like welfare except at least the welfare people don't ask us to thank them. Most police are in their line of work because they are too dumb to do anything else. The majority of our police departments are just another excuse to raise taxes. Besides most officers are guilty of more crimes than the people they are arresting. The main purpose of the police department is to make up bullshit arrests so the system with its judges and lawyers can make more money. We could save trillions a year if we drastically reduced our pork police departments. Police are the scum of the earth.
