I know this will probably be just a "rant" to some - I have to say that I am really disgusted by something that happened today. It will come out in the local news soon enough. There are quite a few cop haters on these forums. They are mostly hated for doing their jobs. They are people, humans, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends to others. My daughter is a cop, my husband a former cop turned Agent and I worked for 10 yrs of my life with some of the best cops in South Florida. When there are tragic accidents, robberies, rapes, murder, burglaries, assaults, vandalisms, etc. the first thing people say are "I hope the cops catch them". When children are hurt and people are outraged, they always look to the cops. When there is any type of tragedy, cops are usually the first responders. Yet when they are doing radar and pulling people over, they are arseholes, jerks, bastards, etc. Not that they are trying to keep the streets safer from people, no that doesn't count. When your family or friends are in trouble or need help - why call the cops if you hate them so much? Well, I guess there are some that hate them so much they go as far as destroying something that belongs to them at their own home - not even so much as taking into consideration the danger that could have put the neighbors in. The "innocent bystanders" that live nearby. Really made me sick to think that today is Independence Day. Oh yeah, Happy 4th of July....
