I don´t like cops because they make me uncomfortable and I would agree that probably the majority of cops are assholes but I refuse to judge all individuals in a group based on generalization.
They are a street gang except nobody pressured them into it. They constantly do crimes that would get anyone else incarcerated yet they almost never face any repercussions at all. They steal from normal citizens through asset forfeiture without ever bringing charges against their victims. They cover up the crimes of their peers. Murders, rapes, theft, brutal beatings all done and covered up by the very ones entrusted with upholding the law and protecting the citizenry. Their entire organization is built from the slave chasers, and their racist, power-drunk actions and policies have only become increasingly dangerous for us, the people. The generalization is earned.
I respect your opinion and I can identify with it. Bad experiences with members of a certain groups naturally lead to generalizations and I guess just like me you had bad experiences with the cops. However - while most generalizations are not arbitrary, that still does not make them true for every individual in the generalized group.
I’ll make it easy for you, there are no good cops.
