LOL Firstly - The Police in England are ******ing soft bellends just from what I seen in those riots last year - I mean the fact it was made SUCH A BIG DEAL for them to use a water cannon, is laughable.

Anyway,
The reason the police are hated here, is because the majority of them are Protestant - so when 'trouble' breaks out - they tend to be biased bastards and take the opposite side.

It's much more of a stereotype tbh, one that I believed up until recently when I was involved with the police myself and they seemed to be lovely blokes, really easy going and chilled.

Haven't got a problem with the police, they are generally very lovely chaps

[Livia]

I've only ever had positive experiences with the police and on the couple of occasions when I've really needed them I can't think how they could have done a better job.

the police are just normal people in uniform,when they put on that uniform they dont become saints,its a case of good cop, bad cop,

Their piorities seem a bit f'd up from time to time. I also think a few act cocky and just like to show their authority. Nonetheless they do a good job on a whole.

[Novo]

What annoys me more is when people try and get them involved for petty things that they can easily sort out themselves, can remember climbing over someones fence to get my a ball back when i was about 16 and they the bastards tried to call the police and say i was trespassing

I don't have a problem with the police at all. I respect them and actually almost joined them at one point.

I like the police. I also love the uniform. I was considering applying to to become one once upon a time.

Yep...uniforms do it for me too Ben

[lostalex]

power corrupts. simple as that. Give someone some authority and more often than not it goes to their head.

That being said i'm sure police have a VERY tough job, no way in hell i'd ever wanna do it. It must be a nightmare.

I'd rather join the army than join the police.

I hate them. They abide by rules which do not take into account back stories/the circumstance and they have power over a citizen even though they are exactly the same as everyone else. I strongly dislike them.

Yes..there's definately that aspect to it Charlie...but it's down to the person to not abuse that power...some do..some don't. I guess the thing is, if anyone has had an experience with one who has abused it...it's difficult to not have that affect their judgement of the police in general..and therefore don't 'see' the good ones
