old saying 'if the shoe fits'
i too respect good cops who do their very best to serve the public in every respect, but those who feel having a badge and gun give them the right to work 'outside the laws' they swore to abide by and uphold, i too would call them names i cant print here.
anyone, be they firemen, police or nurses and doctors (or anyone else) who take on roles of 'looking after' us comoners as a job have a responsibility to allways put personal feeling away when they don their uniforms.
there is no way i could do the shyte these people are asked to do, but i expect those who choose to do it will act with the utmost care and professionalism when 'on the job'
unfortunately since cameras have become a comon item most people carry we get to witness way too many examples of people in uniforms 'letting the side down'
i see many videos online of uniformed 'pigs'
i doubt it will end as so many of them do it even though they know they are being filmed!
no self control.

I also don't like the term "pigs". There is good and bad in every profession. Just my opinion.

The problems start right from the very early days while the future police officers are in training.
My daughter and family live in Goulburn NSW where the Police Training Academy is located....also the SuperMax Prison.
One morning when my grandchildren were young they were told to get in the car and wait for their mother to take them to school. Suddenly she heard voices yelling.....it was 3 young hoons heckling the kids. They got a bit of a shock when she rushed out in uniform (she was a council ranger) just as her husband arrived home from work in the uniform of a senior Correctional Services officer (works in SuperMax).
He recognised them as trainee police officers and threatened to dob them in if he ever saw them misbehaving again. The rest of the family said he should have reported them there and then....we don't need police officers who will heckle little kids sitting in a car in their own driveway.

exactly, respect is earned, not granted because you pass a test.
those young recruits are giving the public cause to not care for police and not trust police.
when your in a situation where calling police is the obvious thing to do you shouldnt be second guessing weather maybe its better to not call.

Yet you choose to call the police "pigs". Why? What have they ever done to you to warrant that?
If only everybody could live a law-abiding life like you and I and most of us, there'd be no reason to call them that, would there?
