So where are the stories about the police doing good deeds? Oh I forgot, there are none, because we all know there aren't any good police officers out there. They're all corrupt and are power hungry. Or maybe there aren't any because it doesn't sell headlines.
Do I think there are cops that abuse their powers? Sure, but I think they are in the small small minority. Most cops I've met are decent people. But there are some here who paint all cops with the same broad stroke. Why that is, I'm not sure but I can probably guess. The person would have felt they were treated "unfairly" by cops, be it giving them a ticket for something they felt was undeserved, or something similar. But from my experience, people tend to exaggerate their own stories to paint themselves as more of a victim than they really are. Believe it or not, most cops don't actually fine people if they weren't breaking the law in the first place.
