They can hit you but you can't hit back, that is the dream of every bully and that's the type of person who is attracted to the field. That's why the police are such shitty people. They take joy in making other people's lives miserable and when you actually need them they don't do shit. These cowardly fuckers would shit themselves if they were ever actually in a dangerous situation.
The problem is that humans like power. Police are given this authority over people and it is no shock that many abuse it. They are given a badge and are told that they are the law, they have the power to punish anybody and when given this power it is in our nature to use it and enjoy it. When you are being paid to punish people, you must switch off your emotions and think in somewhat of a black and white context...criminals are bad and there is no compromise for people commiting crimes. We must remember it is not all police that are like this and they are not bad people for their actions. As humans we just have a nature of wanting authority and enjoying power.
