[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I casually dislike police for a reason no one has brought up yet (but in this crowd, it’s not surprising that no one has mentioned this yet).

I resent police because they essentially protect criminals from their victims or from vigilantes acting on the behalf of those victims.

For example- if I observed a guy was breaking into my neighbor’s car, and I sneaked up behind him and hit him over the head with a baseball bat, and he was left with debilitating brain injuries from that - the police would put a lot MORE effort into finding and charging me with assaulting or attempting to murder him than they ever would’ve trying to pursue him for breaking into a car. Or let’s say I was out walking my dogs and I see a man in the process of raping a woman, who’s pleading for help. If I walked up and shot that guy in the head, then kept on walking - the police would search endlessly for me, so they could charge me with murder.

Vigilantism has its own deterrent factor IF it’s allowed to happen without interference. Police interfere with that deterrence. As a result, we live in fear of both criminals AND the police.

That’s why I dislike cops. Because they protect criminals from people like me. [/quote]

Would you rather live next to Bernie Goetz, or the four criminals he shot on the subway?
