i have friends who became cops toDifference is you cannot have the plumber arrested because he did the job wrong. There are checks and balances in place to limit the LEO's ability to "be and asshole" no other profession is so watched, monitored or might I say "harassed" (in some peoples vernacular) I wonder why you used the words "I've had family and friends that were cops" That would imply they are no longer your friends or family, or no longer cops? Just curious.
i dont hang out with them like i use to anymore, just sayin. still my friend but i cant be sure if their allegiance is to a faceless state entity, ya know just doing their job is a pretty typical excuse for acting like a robot
