What are we talking about here? Hating on police officers? Fine. I reiterate, do the job. See how jaded you become.

There's nothing to bait here. It's black and white. You don't like police.

I submit that we remove all police, fire, and emergency services from your community. Have fun.

The issue I'm having here is the duality that a lot of you are expressing. You want the police to be around to protect you 24 hours a day, yet when you get dinged for something you complain...then you hate the fact that the police even exist.

Hypocrisy rocks doesn't it?

Come back with how much of a jerk I am for pointing out the obvious. You want your cake…

Yes, it is the officer’s prerogative to pull you over for tertiary reasons. YOU gave them those rights! If you don’t like it, change it. Get into a position where you have to take the teeth away from the very people you expect to protect you. You’ll love life, I’m sure.

Being an armchair quarterback is no substitute for actual experience.

I wouldn't go that far... There are some people out there with a true purpose to improve the quality of life, and I'm all for that. Unfortunately, it's seldom not the case.

Do I want cops available when someone breaks into my house? Sure! Do I want them stopping me because they have a problem with the eyelids on my car? Hell no.

I agree 100% with this statement. The problem is that 99% of people either don't know how to do this, or are too lazy to act on it. But I do agree the people are supposed to decide.
