“Perhaps if real cops spent more time fighting crime and less time being uniformed thugs, law enforcement professionals might have a better reputation. Nice article on a TV show. However, your opinion on the topic of law enforcement is nothing more than a big steaming pile of excrement.”

BZZZZZT! Sorry, “unhinged bigotry” was not the answer we’re looking for. But thanks for playing!

Seriously, WTF would you know about it? I’m a criminal-defense lawyer, which means that cops are on the “other side”- but I’ve rarely run into these “uniformed thugs” you talk about. (Oh, sure, my lovely clients try to claim it, but thenthey also usually try to claim they’re innocent). I have nothing but respect for the professionalism and tough, tough job of the folks in blue (even if I do make their lives hell in the box).
