I agree, Chuck. The post about "cops still suck" is pretty sad.
The same cop that will write you a speeding ticket and make you mad (even though you deserved it) might be the same cop that you have to call when you find a burglar in your home later that day, and that cop will put his own azz on the line to protect you and your property.
Cops only make the news when one of the few "bad" ones does something stupid. Perhaps if there were a news story put out every time a cop did his job well or saved someone's life by risking theirs, some folks would have a different opinion than "cops suck".
