To all those bagging on the police
Why? What did they do to you? Why have we resorted on dehumanizing the everyday heroes in our lives? Why is it that we can compare a cop saving lives to A BURGER FLIPPER WORKING AT MCDONALDS! Are you serious? We're comparing the 16 year olds who cant do anything else to the people who are skilled, helpful, and productive members of society? But we can say that because when they save someone, they are doing their job so they cant be called heroes, not unless the average citizen gets to be a hero too.
Heroes are people who go out and risk their lives so that others can live a better life. Comparing those people to a burger flipper is somewhere along the lines of ignorant, stupid, and should be frowned upon. If any random person could do the job that the police are doing now, fine. You deserve the right to your own opinion. But a 12 year old on the internet whos been sheltered by his parents for his whole life, does not need to be making comments like that when he doesnt understand anything about what hes talking.

They are not special members of society, and they deserve to be subject to the laws and expectations of everyone else, it does not matter what they do for a living. I'm not trying to equate a burger flipper's contribution to society to a police officer's, however I will firmly stand behind the idea that everyone should be held reprehensible for their actions, regardless of whether or not they have a badge. Nobody is saying that all cops are bad, this is not the issue here. The issue is when a cop abuses his power, or demonstrates an inability to justifiably have this power, you're okay with it because their job puts their life at risk more than another individual. That is [i]not[/i] okay. That is what allows people to gain [i]too much power[/i].
