There are many other sites. Don't be so damn lazy. Don't be afraid to look. Do some research. Obviously, you're in denial. Cops are assholes. Do the cops you know write quota tickets?I hate to say it, but so far the "proof" you offered me was a satire website and a newly filed claim. I'm just going to suggest you might be looking at the wrong sources. I know a lot of officers and they're normal folks. Some are bad I'm sure, but /all/ are not I guarantee you that, in fact, I'd say the vast majority are not. However, as you said, you're entitled to your opinion as well.
Quota tickets are a state decision, not a police force decision. But yeah, our officers have quotas last time I checked, it's not the officers "fault", the officer's just doing their job. I've read a lot of stories about asshole cops, I've still not run into one personally. I've also seen a lot of stories that are designed and written to make one hate police, something I have a very hard time doing because I know so many on a personal level. I'm not in denial, I'm in reality, maybe it's just /my/ reality, but it's reality none-the-less. My next door neighbors both work the night shift, they've got two adorable little kids; last year some guy high on spice put a bullet through the wives windshield. That is another "reality" for officers that everyone wants to forget in their campaign to hate them all. There are bad ones, we need to catch them and put them away I don't question that, but I don't do "universal" hatred.
