[quote=Anonymous]I don't dislike law enforcement but there are obvious major issues within many departments and the whole structure as a whole.

I don't support what is going on with ICE agents and I would question my friendship if I was friends with any of those I've seen on the news.  That said, I also understand it's a job and like the military, sometimes you enforce things you don't agree with.  Those who say "well then just quit" live in a fairytale world where they can quit jobs and not worry about money and then change professions easily.

I think the general response to mental health crisis by cops is handled poorly.  But it's less to do with the cops themselves and more about the system failing everyone involved.

And the nature of the job (power, authority, etc) is going to attract some not great characters.

It's also one of those things that the negative attention gets more notice, so the narrative starts to become mostly negative and people start to assume that's the norm.

The great hypocrisy is that all those who say they hate cops and the like would be looking for the cops when they were in a situation that warranted them.  [/quote]
