How do you feel about cops?

[lstbred]

Just like any other job out there, theres good & bad, the majority of the cops I have talked to dont give a crap about the small shit but are forced (in one way or the other) to do them. You got the stupid f'n lawmakers who make up these stupid laws, tie the cops hands, and make it impossible for them to do some things. Its not like cops work with the best society has to offer either, these people are scumbags and after awhile of that I can see how they can get jaded, I understand I'm not one of them and hate to be treated that way but I can see where/why. The power trip that some get on, especially newbies, is crazy. Who are dicks are CHP!!

there are certain types of personality profiles that seem to gravitate to positions of authority. I think many are on a power trip, which compliments their egos quite nicelly.

I have noticed this also.

I would like to stereotype it as being physique related but I can't. I have a cousin who is a cop and has the physique of a boy. He is one of the worst power trippers ive ever seen and will openly talk about tasing/macing/baton beating people with joy and no repercussions. I have encountered cops that were muscular and most likely on juice and met the same mentality.

Hey I have a legit question.

How can you be a cop and not work out? Take myself for example. If I don't work out for say 6 months. I will revert back to a very low strength individual. The idea of shoving someone, wrestling someone to the ground, any athletic activity, throw that shit out the window it aint happening. On the other hand if you catch me when I have been hitting all my lifts and going up in weight regularly, I will f you up. I mean It wouldnt even be hard for me. If you have ever wrestled your brother before lifting and after you know what I'm talking about.

I have always wondered this too. I think to some guys it is just a job. A friend of mine in the gun industry told me that some officers really care about their firearms/gear and some could care less. My guess is the guys that don't work out are probably the same guys that don't take care of their gear.

In San Diego, they pay you more if you stay in shape.
