PeguinBackPacker asked:


I have a grudge against police officers, I will admit it. It deals with police being very unprofessional towards law obeying citizens to put it nicely. I also know considering the type of people police deal on a daily basis, and I understand why they are not too trusting of the public either. However every time I ask an law enforcement issue on yahoo answers, those with careers in law enforcement are kind polite and informative and it lessens the hard feelings I have against them. Yes I know this sounds like a loaded comment, this is however geared to those in law enforcement. Does yahoo answers lessen the divide between community and law enforcement and brings a better sense of community between the two in your opinion?
I have hard feelings due to a police officer in my home town leaving grip marks on brother’s neck for sitting on a side walk after dark. And then being told by the police we would be arrested next time we call about such a matter. That was wrong and injust. However, like I said, it is attitudes and perspective formed from what one deals with on a daily basis. Change this perspective and things turn for the better, which is always good.
That was for those who want to know.

   why do you **** them, im surrounded by cops constantly. MOST of them do their job pretty well and there is constant training and schools. I dont see what people have against cops. sure some rules are stupid but their just doing their job. i think most people dont like cops because they just like to do whatever they want and not get in trouble. no it doesnt bridge the gap.

   My department needs more officers is very busy believe that if the questions asked by the question in which the side on both ends of the question also appreciate the side on both ends.
   An answer the responses given by the responses given by some of police insight can be gained on which you asked by others and impressed by those who really want an smart answer the time when give an smart answer the asker asks the return response from the responses.
   An smart answer am not too worried by some of the questions have read and what they think this site have the questions have the side on the twoway street love helping people wish could spend more officers is easier to do not too worried by officers.

    Yes, in a small way. But some people are set in their thinking about cops.
