It's people like that sodding 'Me' above who annoy me, though she sounds American, you can always tell. Their police are armed ours are not. Would she like to break the news to the wife and kids,that her husband, and kiddies father, has just been shot down in cold blood by a yampy gunman. These arseholes make me puke my gut up. These whingers would be first first in the queue to complain of some triviality or other, then start gobbing nothing was being done. Then as 'Me' states file a 'citizens complaint' anyone know what that is outside U.S? Don't put your police on the same plate as ours. If you needed help, which police force would you prefer to go to? The British of course. Not perfect but by far the best.
WELL SAID LITTLE WEED
Edit: I think the questioner is on about British police, why do these yanks keep butting in? we are not interested in their police.

I know! It's absolutely disgusting, isn't it? In my general area, a Fire Chief beat a 6 month old puppy to death and he's on PAID leave right now. Are you #@$#%* serious!?!?! The worst part is, that in these cases, the animal abusers are in positions of power and the individuals are "supposed" to "protect & serve" the public, which includes people AND animals! I just don't get it. Now, I don't have much faith in humanity as it is. I believe that "human nature" is NOT good; it is selfish, uncompassionate, cruel and full of ignorance. But when I started looking into Karley's story, after it was no longer being talked about on the news, I was shocked to see HOW MANY similar stories there are everyday. It is sickening what some people do to animals. It boggles my mind WHY anyone would ever want to hurt and torture an animal. Especially a dog! Dogs love humans and only want our attention/love in return. A person that willingly hurts a dog (or cat) is by far WORSE than someone who hurts another person (an adult, obviously). PEOPLE have free will, choice and supposedly possess "superior" mental capabilities; and honestly, SOME people deserve to be killed. But torturing & killing an animal? That takes a seriously sick and depraved mind. The Animal Cruelty laws are INADEQUATE!!! I have now realized my purpose in life is to help change them. Hopefully, someday soon, people who do things like this will get the punishment they deserve. If you want to get involved, "Care2: The Petition Site" has many animal abuse cases that you can help with. Also, the Humane Society, ASPCA, etc all have good information on what you can do to help put an end to Animal Abuse.

For those who try to say that most police officers are bad, my response is that "ALL criminals are bad". The reality is that no matter what occupation you have, there will be a few bad apples in the group. Unfortunately, for police officers, once there is one bad apple, everyone assumes the entire force is corrupt. It's sad.

I cannot imagine WANTING to do a job that puts you in danger on a daily basis, forces you to see things most people can't imagine, and then must deal with such a huge amount of disrespect daily as well. And yet, my husband and many other men & women, wake up every day give their family a kiss (possibly their last one) and go out their to protect society. If that isn't a hero, I don't know what is!

My partner was attacked in the street from behind with no provocation, I chased away his attacker and returned worried that if I caught him I'd be the one in trouble, the attack had been so quick I hadn't realised that the blow had been severe enough to knock my partner unconscious, he was laid out cold in the street, a night of ambulances and hopsital followed fortunately with a happy ending! His attacker had a sweatshirt with his employers name and telephone number on and someone fitting my description had been picked up earlier that evening and had had his details verified, we never got a conviction because the police were incompetant and left the matter too long to arrange an ID parade. We did get an apology from the police complaints authority. So they are not perfect! Lets not pretend they are, so some complaints are legitimate.

You get my thumbs up Mike H.

The countless, second/minutes/hours/time these people spent criticizing, searching the net for obscured e-news and cutting and pasting it here on Yahoo!Answer.

They could have spent it bettering and enriching their community by volunteering at nursing homes, hospitals and homeless shelters. Being a Big Brother or Big Sister, handing out MADD flyers, or donating blood to the RED CROSS. Even being a FOSTER PARENT would make a difference.

Our police officers, fighterfighters & EMS are heroes, but they need our help too. Lets give them a hand!

Criminals, people who get traffic citations and non-traffic citations, citizens who are not happy that you can't get the person who made them a victim, and citizens who are not happy that you can't solve their civil problem........most cops can't solve civil problems that is why you get an attorney, and people who have a general lack of respect for themselves, society and authority have been critical of the police and it is rising. The problem also lies with police departments........one bad apple spoils the barrel. Police officers who do the wrong thing, excessive force, lying, planting evidence, added to those people listed above make it bad and difficult for those who abide by the law, and respect the law. The criminal justice system fails at times. News media and amateur videographers revelling in yellow journalism add to the unpopular stuff that hurts those who wear the uniform and do so honorably.

A lot of peoples criticisms about the police are based only on a few personal experiences. These in themselves do not make us all bad.

It may be surprising to a lot of you but the government dictate how forces are run, funded and which acts of parliament are passed. We are then forced to make the best of a bad job and take the brunt of any subsequent criticisms.

As for 'Me' - Just take a look at your thumbs down! Suggesting that officers who don't abuse their authority don't risk their lives is absolute garbage.

Iain - I make no secret for my dislike of your attitude towards the police. Please don't call us when you need us.

I am not sure, maybe it is to do with the fact that so many people are disatisfied with the law in this country itself, not the police who are sometimes just the scapegoat.

But it isn't only the police; the military, fire service, nurses, doctors, paramedics, etc. are all criticised and hassled for doing our jobs, yet just imagine life without us.

No I don't criticise the police. I criticise the powers that be that control them for not letting them do their job properly,by tying them up with rules and paperwork and by not having enough of them There need to be dozens of them on the streets of our towns every night. Not in cars but walking.. There can be fast response mobile teams as well. If it means an extra 200000 police to get this country free of murder, mugging, robbery and crime,so be it. And have space for a million criminals to serve their full life sentences.We don't want defaulters or criminals in our community thank you. If you offend you go out of the way.. good riddance.

A majority of people like the police. Don't be fooled by the illusion that Y!A is full of cop-hating folks. There are only less than a handful. The rest are trolls and fakes.
