I hate cops.
To serve and protect.
You used to be a symbol of security. Something I saw as protection. But now I see you as nothing but a threat.
You do not serve to protect the people anymore. Instead, you search out the people. Exploit any minor infractions to make a pay check. And by any means necessary. Even if you cross the line of the law it is highly unlikely that you’ll ever be acknowledged let alone prosecuted. You can drive on local streets at unnecessarily high and unsafe speeds. You can neglect common traffic rules to get your coffee faster. The only cost is small and unimportant to you. The cost is our trust. Instead of protecting us from the bad in this world, you ARE the bad in this world.
I don’t fight for my rights anymore because if it’s up against you, there is no hope a civilian will trump a cop.
There is no more visible line between good cops and bad cops. There may still be good cops, with the heart of the people still in them. But there are enough bad cops that you cannot take any risk in hoping for the best.
So beat us when we’re down, deny all witnesses, take our hard earned money and leave us in the streets too afraid to move. This is the cost of being above the law.
You earned it.
You’re saving me.
I fight myself more than I fight anyone. But I’m too tired. All the time. But it’s a satisfying tired.
