What do you think of Policemen and Policewomen?

Im writing a report about societies view of police and i just need peoples views of what they think of the police.|||I have nothing but respect and gratitude for law enforcement officers. Without the police, there would be anarchy and widespread violence and crime. It takes a special kind of person to risk their life so that others may live. A lot of stupid people, including some on this website, hate the police for no good reason. Sure, there are some bad cops, but there will be a percentage of bad people in any group of a similar size (bad people seem to be the majority of the cop-hating group though). The vast majority of police officers are good people who try to help their community and the people in it. They have to deal with horrible crimes on an almost daily basis, and then they get abused by these idiots. They deserve the thanks of the public, but, unfortunately, they very rarely get it.|||It really depends, I know alot of people who speak badly of Police Officers and it's really stupid to be honest. Sure there are lots of idiot and corrupted cops out there who abuse there powers and just plain do stupid stuff, But that doesn't make them all that way, There are also great cops out there who do their job well and actually care about helping people and really care about getting the *******/drug dealers etc. off the streets. Overall though I think there are more legit cops then corrupted ones, So I have alot of respect for those who do their job well.|||Police are like everyone else. Just doing a thankless job to try and help keep the people safe. Just like everyone else you have lots of really good ones and a few bad ones that make them all look bad.|||They are incompetent, abusive thugs.|||I'm gonna be a Bounty Hunter soon. They're good for the business. ;)|||I Have No Use For Them.|||What they said. ^
