I'm pretty much 100% pro-cop
I used to be. And then I took a turn at wearing a badge (as a reservist) and working with cops up close and seeing the shit they get away with all the time. That experience truly soured me.
I keep things like who it is that has to clean up the mess from what drunk drivers do, or when some bastard decides to solve his family problems with a handgun, or dealing with druggies who've sold their own children to pedophiles, before I get self-righteous on the cops. They're human and they shouldn't get crucified for having a human reaction to evil and vileness, especially by those who have no idea (or don't give a shit at all) about what they go through on their job.
I always remember what kind of monsters are laying in wait on the other side of the thin blue line. This makes me give the authorities an extra allowance that I really don't mind at all when they bend it every once in a while.
