I'm biased towards radials

I favor Moron Control and me being the Czar over that control shipping all the morons I deem to Antartica

^This! The bottom line is without law enforcement the laws don't exist. Its the reality of being arrested, prosecuted and spending the rest of your life in prison that keeps most civilized. Yes there are the few that think they can break laws and never get caught, but again, that is why we have law enforcement, to bring those to justice. Do I agree with how the whole process works, NO, I think there is much room for improvement. It starts with better training and strong leadership not swayed by politics. I think most will agree that having law enforcement is better than every man for themselves chaos that would ensue without them.

A lot of police work is reactive rather than proactive. It's the nature of the job, like paramedics. Do you expect them to just know when to show up before someone is robbed or assaulted? The proactive work you'd most likely never see or hear about because they prevented something bad from happening so unless it was a big drug bust or something, it wouldn't get air time on news, etc. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't add value but it sounds like you have a very negative view of law enforcement and it would take a lot to change your views. So what happened to you that made you feel this way - get a couple of driving awards? I have no connection to or special affinity for LE and there are certainly those in that community that abuse their position but to categorize them all as glorified admins who solely prey on the public for revenue is ignorant.

Something's wrong...that guy was white. Too soon?

Where's a moderator when you need one!?! ????

Looks like ill be getting my shirt today!

I think they protect their own a lot which is a problem, it may not happen as much as we think because the cases that surface are highly publicized and skews perception. Certainly there are a lot of examples in other professions where it happens including politics and medicine. My dad was killed (and subsequently resuscitated) because he was given the wrong medicine in the hospital. My mom and sister were in the room at the time and the nurse told them what they were administering as she was doing it. After the fact, the doctor/nurse/hospital claimed it never happened and no records of it could be found of course. Spend some time in the corporate world and find out the good ol' boys club is alive and well...they cover their asses all the time.

Well said......and I have a feeling were Police to all go on strike and not go to work for a good while, things would go to hell very quickly. Maybe something like that is what it would take for some to realize that most of law enforcement are good folks? Yeah the blue line exists......but who/what is worse, that or how out of control and corrupt our politicians are in this country?

The value of my house jumped $30k in one month according to Zillow.

Those are some really ignorant views you got there. I hope you or your family never need the assistance of the police.

All this shit storm lately makes all law enforcement look bad. My father in law is a decorated retired police officer who put his life on the line every day to keep the peace. My opinion, he didn't get paid enough to do it. All you hear about lately is the negative. What about the lives that have been saved and all the trash that has been legitimately taken off the streets. Someone has to do it. At this rate no one will want to enroll into the academy. I wish there was a better way to weed out all the bad eggs and start over fresh.

...but they said he was resisting. If a cop says that, it's gotta be true.

always remember to check your backgrounds....

Your analogy does not work.I will grant you this- like an auto or moto accident, there is a small probability you will be the victim of crime. But helmets and seat belts will improve your outcome almost 100% of the time! Cops intervene in approximately 0% of the violent encounters that occur on a daily basis, and recover effective 0% of the property that is ever stolen. They show up after the fact, take notes, and occasionally make an arrest when they are not too busy waging a war on traffic violations and adults who use drugs.
