Judging by the amount of questions you post about the police I would say that you have some nerve to knock a job you more than likely could not do.
Get out of the ivory tower.
However if you are a police operative gauging public response then fair play.

A bit of a sweeping statement that.The police do some good work often in difficult circumstances.If you are asking this question because you have had a problem with them I can understand your concern but don't judge all of them by a few,

I'm sure a small percentage are, but as a whole the police provide an essential service to the communities.

Not where I live and work. They're always being helpful in one way or another, and the Police Activity League recently opened a huge learning center where they have all sorts of after-school programs for kids.

Yeah they good. And people saying things like this don't do anyone any good. Who stopped the bombers in Glasgow recently? Who would you turn to when your child goes missing? They have a very tough job not made any easier by some face less tosser in office making up rules of one sort or the other.

Are doctors just madmen in a labcoat? Are construction workers all sexist pigs?
Making a broad statement about a category of people is quite dumb.
There are some cop bullies. There are some good cops that do their jobs the best they can.

well, its the only place someone with 2 o levels can have so much power over his fellow countrymen...
do they abuse it? yes of course they do..why do they do this? simply because they can.
thankfully not all of them are bullies, and not all of them are educational morons.. but some are.. we find good and bad in all walks of life.
bad plod is worse than the criminals he protects and corrupts... bad plod is who reduces public confidence in teh system... which otherwise serves us very well.
british plod at least says STOP before he shoots you dead...
but without the forces of law and order we would have anarchy, and bloodletting... we invented plod so we didnt have to look after ourselves, and we abdicated responsibility for it many years ago...
if you think plod is a bully, then i presume you got nicked and were gobby, wherupon they threw the book at you...

The police have their hands tied because of the p.c brigade and if you think that they are bullies now then you should have been around 25 years ago

It all depends on the police officer. Some are nice, some aren't. When dealing with a police officer, I suggest just being polite, and they will most likely be polite to you.
