The strange thing is that in spite of bad press shit, there are actually good relations between the standard "minorities" and cops. Even many of the "minorities" are outraged at the attacks on cops lately. The problem isn't the nationality/skin color/etc. it's the "subcultures". Many of them want to paint cops as "bad", because in reality they want to justify committing their crimes. Cops even treat the homeless well in this area, and in most communities their services are respected and appreciated, putting their lives on the line every day to keep some semblance of order in a rather volatile society. If not for the officers I would never have gotten anywhere, and many people have similar stories that I have spoken to. When they find someone who is homeless they offer help, instead of harassment like all the elitists assholes who get angry when the officers enforce the laws on their asses. The most common criminals to bad mouth officers are really stupid ones, like jaywalkers and people who shouldn't be driving. In this instance a criminal was let go by the damned courts (a common problem everywhere in this country). These funerals are wearing, upsetting, and really I am sick of criminals getting free rides.
