with very few exceptions, I agree with everything here.. the problem/asshole cops are the straight arrow kids, got picked on, never did anything wrong, etc..
I believe the truly good officers are the ones that have made some dumb mistakes, been in some trouble, etc..
the good cops do the job to protect folks, not to punish them, unless its necessary..
basically, if a cop is willing to give a kid a warning for being a tard, cool, but I hate the guys that go out and write every single citation they possibly can, its just couterproductive
