I did not come into this world hating cops. I used to like them, admire
them, and look up to them. Hell, I used to want to be a police officer. It
was a position I admired and thought very highly of. Protecting people,
keeping people safe, in general making the world a better place. Not anymore
though, as I've realized that's not what being a cop is about... Not by a
long shot.
I have found that good cops are usually in very high crime areas, such as
Camden, NJ. Police officers in those areas are typically quite friendly and
respectful. They are polite and courteous and actually have personalities.
They are not so bitter and looking for the easy way out of anything and
everything that most cops seem to be. They will talk, and they will listen.
Cops in low crime areas seem to be full of themselves, generally they are
arrogant *******s who don't have respect for anyone or anything.

Thank you, that precisely explains why I hate cops. They have shown me time
and time again that they don't give a damn about truth, legality, or safety.
Furthermore they have shown themselves to be completely disrespectful and
rude in their behavior. I can only take so much of that before I come to the
conclusion that the majority of cops are very bitter people who don't care
about anything the police's PR department spouts (such as the advertising
slogan "To protect and serve" designed to boost PR, as jaybird explained).
I've dealt with enough bitter cops taking out their anger and bitterness on
me. I've seen enough cops driving recklessly and abusing their power. I'm
fed up with it, I hate cops for those reasons. As you said, it's only human
nature...
