I completely understand. *SOME* police officers do abuse their power and do things they probably shouldn't. I understand that. But, like I told him, they're still the ones to show up in an emergency, regardless of your opinion of them. I once read a quote by a retired Navy Seal and it went a little like this:
(Ret. Navy Seal speaking) "your job (police officer) is more dangerous than my job in the way that, when we go out on missions, we have every possible detail that we can gather and have a plan that will work...when you guys go to a call, you have little to no intel"
btw, you wont find ANYWHERE in the duties or job description that the Police having a duty to protect you or any of "the people". Since 1856, not one, but all nine of the supreme courts have ruled in 10's of thousands of cases that "The police have NO statutory duty to protect you, how monstrous that may seem." Their job is to enforce the law (see common law) (Statute Code isnt LAW, its only given the force of law if you believe or interpret that it applies to you) and for those who break the law (common Law) take them into custody.
Most people I know.. don't call 911 and I know a lot of officers, both State and Federal, Sheriff's, and a two BLM guys. Most don't understand their roles in the community let alone know the constitution and what violations of rights are. Good news for them is 97% of the population doesn't know their rights or the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground either. So chances of getting in more than a 2-5 week paid vacation as a disciplinary action are pretty slim.. but a lot of people are waking up to things. The above video is a good start.
then when you learn about law, history, the constitution, and who you are.. the outlooks change. When you do something.. "dumb" regardless of age. And a private corporation tells you that you committed a "crime" which btw was victimless, no damage or harm committed to anyone or anyone's property, NO fraud was used but you owe the City/State/County say you owe them money. You have to ask where the fraud really begins.
