Do you think police in today's society face a huge amount of danger from bigotry? Do you think its impossible for there to be bigotry against police? Do you believe all police are racists and deserve the hate? Discuss.

Hell naw..Some of them are violent drunk thugs.?Their so trigger happy that they'll blow anyone who looks like a so-called threat.

Their job is to protect and serve.The only people they serving is themselves by constantly putting their on lives ahead of the public safety. I certainty wouldn't put my life in a cops.

They most likely to let me get killed and say they feared for they life..

Yes,all of them are racists,they get trained in the academy to be one. Police officers need to be able to drive at fast speeds while avoiding obstacles,them being racists is needed.

Yes, I can see police officers being ridiculed. I think it stems from this above the law status people think they have, and I suppose they do in some respects. In my home country it was considered a big deal that politicians and police officers would squash driving offences at a whim, it goes to show the kind of negative attention they receive for something very minor, but it is justified as a whole seeing as they are the custodians of equality.

In regards to America, yes.

It is because of the media, often when a story is reported, such as a rape and it's inconclusive, the legal system gets a bad rep and policemen are blamed for being incompetent. The media like to dehumanize and demonize police (mostly White Male police) because it gets more ratings. This has led to a hating-on-cops culture and they get unfairly blamed for things completely beyond their own control; I know of people who hate police simply for getting pulled over for speeding. People like to blame and make generalizations of the police because the media pushes this narrative. In relation to this, there's been a ''sympathizing with thugs and criminals'' trend over the last decade which inevitably casts a story to which cops are unsympathetic which is simply untrue. Though the US Police still needs to be de-militarized.

Now in regards to where I live, England --- the police were poisoned with Labor's Political Correctness. It's a different case for the UK because much of the hate is arguably justified in England. Though even during the Conservative years, the police were notoriously corrupt.

Or let's actually have people in our government who make it look bad, removed.. then we wouldn't have this problem.

If "professionals" did their job like they're suppose to, people wouldn't act like cops are get their feelings hurt.

Boohoo.. people don't like when poor ole cops get criticized.. get over it.

The police enforce the law, if you think that law needs to be changed then people need to do something about it.

No and I don't see why people are saying yes. I am black and I was upset when the events of Ferguson happened, and when I found out about Rodney King, but when I see cops now my opinion/view of them is the samesame as it always has been, which is a positive one. Racists cops are no different than racist people. One doesn't represent the entire group.

Every profession is going to have some that are better then others. It seems recently that police are being stereotyped by the few bad ones.

The VAST majority of cops have done NOTHING to earn the citizens distrust.

I think the danger that bad cops represent is much greater than whatever consequences will ensue from people complaining about the police on the internet.

@pooty: Lmao that's a load of bull. A chunk of the NYPD is dedicated to profiling muslims. Cops shoot and kill black people on the daily. You're blind if you think America's cops haven't done anything to deserve distrust.

No, cops are law enforcement and are always in a sense of danger, but they're not being targeted.

Policing isn't even one of the five most dangerous jobs in America, and even then, 90% of the casualties suffered by police officers occurs through traffic incidents.

Cops just want to be paid more and not be held accountable for their mistakes.

@silkyballfro94: get to applying because you're safer today as a cop than you were in the last 50 years. Don't let the cops lie to you about their sense of danger, they're not in danger.

I agree with everything with what you said but what do you mean by de-militarizing?

@pooty: oh really, cops are more likely to be killed by Right-Wing domestic terrorists--Angry white men--than anybody else in this country, since when are white males stereotyped?

You know, people like Jerad and Amanda Miller aren't usually stereotyped.

27 cops died last year, and while that's 27 too many, that's 27 of a potential 1,000,000+ cops.

They're not at risk of being killed in the street. The fact that 70%+ people think they are just goes to show how easily people would believe something that comes from a position if power.

Baseless assertions and Red Herrings.

Cops are not being targeted? Did you hear about the recent murders of the NYPD officers? The shooter tweeted that he was going to kill police officers. Ever hear about Sovereign Citizens?

90% of casualties of police officers occur during traffic accidents? Where is your proof? According to the 2013 UCR report, 27 officers died in felonious incidents. Here. While only 23 died from traffic incidents. Here

@mr_clockwork91: Okay, once again, he brought the number from 25 to 27. That's still 0.002% deaths in 2014. I don't even think we can claim that those cops were "targeted" since that guy also killed his ex-girlfriend. He was just a guy looking to kill.

Yes, I know who Soverign Citizens are, just look at the post before yours. The problem is, SS also targeting IRS auditors, military and any other form of government. They don't just target cops.

As far as my 90%, I misquoted. I meant 90% of NYPD deaths were caused by accidental reasons and not assaults, better?

The root of all this is the SJW thing and the Pol-correct people all over the internet.
