Win you over? I wouldn't dream of it...
But I would dispute your statistic, I doubt that even 50% of them are bad; but would say that a few bad ones get more attention than multitude of good ones.
Those that turn their eyes from the crimes at hand are just as guilty as those perpertrating them. And its even worse when u are incharge of upholding the law. So yeah a majority are bad/dirty, how ever u want to word it.
how about- I wish this thread would die because it keeps reminding me I don't get to eat enough chocolate, custard filled dough nuts and enough is too much.
Funny I recently thought about why Police were called Pigs how did that start. This is the info I found on the net.
Starting in August 1968 and for a number of years afterwards, police officers were called pigs by young people, the disenchanted and even the media. This came about when a group who called themselves the Yippies, protested near the 1968 National Democratic Convention in Chicago. They had a small pig as their presidential candidate, and when police disrupted their demonstration, they started to call the police pigs. The expression caught on. Years later, the radical leaders of the Yippies became mainstream and calling police "pigs" drifted into the past.

Some cops are cool but some are just a**holes, my brother got pulled over for going 12mph over the speed limit and the guy let him off with a warning, and then he got pulled over by anther once for going 70 in a 65 and he got a ticket. Just depends on the cop and the situation.

well, both times he deserved a ticket, it's just that one time a cop showed mercy. I didn't see how either cop was being a jackhole. but maybe you meant other instances
70 in a 65 is a jackhole. That may be keeping up with traffic, though quite often, thats slower.
