quade 3 #3 May 18, 2007 QuoteI've overheard many liberals say that they don't like cops and I have heard many cops say that they don't like liberals. This is obviously a war that I wasn't aware about. Please discuss. It is a gross misrepresentation. Pretty much any time you slap a lable on somebody like "liberal" and try to make a blanket statement such as this, it's going to be. I would be considered "liberal" by most of the people that listen to the Ruch Limbaugh show, but I'm far from it compared to most of the people that listen to the Al Franken show. The reality is I'm somewhere in the middle and probably not more than 1 standard deviation away from it. I LIKE the police. When something goes wrong in my neighborhood, I WANT them to drop by. I certainly have nothing to fear from them except the occasional speeding ticket.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,435 #4 May 18, 2007 I'm a liberal and I like cops. I mean, there are undoubtedly some real dicks out there, but most of the cops I've met have been good people who really do try to do their job well, even under some very adverse conditions.

pirana 0 #10 May 18, 2007 Libertarian here, and I am good with cops; as much as I am good with anybody else. There are a few bad apples no doubt, but that's true of any profession. How could anybody but a hard core anarchist have a dislike for somebody solely based on the fact that the person is a cop?" . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #11 May 18, 2007 Most people I know don't mind the cops themselves, if they really think about it... it's some of the rules the cops enforce that they don't like, and sometimes people confuse the cops with the law itself, because cops put a face to the abstract law. If a cop busts you for smoking pot, is it the cop that's causing your problem, or the law? I say it's the law, because if it wasn't for the law, the cop wouldn't be bothering you about it. So, work to change the law; don't blame the cop. Believe me, I've seen some asshole cops. But I've seen a lot more good cops than bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, not too long ago the cops openly beat the crap out of hippie protesters, and a large portion of liberals distrust an overreaching government.

It's as black and white as you can get. I have no opinion about this. If I did, I would put my .02 in. I don't know much about a liberal. I've just heard them talk about the police in a negative way. I've heard about how police have had less than favorable run ins with liberals.What do protesters want? Dead cops! When do they want it? Every 2 weeks!

rehmwa 2 #17 May 21, 2007 Quote If a cop busts you for smoking pot, is it the cop that's causing your problem, or the law? maybe it's that's person's fault and neither the cop nor the law, but then that would take admitting they screwed up This is a goofy thread. I could write "Why do liberals hate bus drivers and vice versa" and it would be equally applicable. Every job has some small segment of that all liberals hate - the real issue is the inability of liberals to contain their hate for someone from every group ...
