Cops deserve more respect from drug users

Think of all the shit you have to go through to be a cop. You have to have a really strong desire to serve and protect, in most cases. I suspect very few go into the profession to arrest people for drugs. And if they do, it is probably because they are misinformed or stupid, which they can't necessarily help. Sometimes they can be downright belligerent, but many people in the general population are too. Even many drug users. The stereotyping goes both ways.

cops don't have to go through shit. they pay like 1500$ to be pushed through a phony "police acadamy"
volunteer Firefighters have to pass far more stringent tests than pigs do.
seriously. its more difficult to become a brick layer than a police officer

Being misinformed or stupid can be helped. It's extremely easy to fix in fact. I'd even go so far as saying that someone too stupid to be corrected should not have a gun and a position that puts them in control of most people. In fact, being a cop one of the requirements should be that they are smarter than the average person.
Good cops deserve respect. The problem is there are so few of them. I've had A LOT of police contact in my life and every single one of them has approached whatever situation I witnessed in the most assholish, hostile and demeaning way possible. They've all went above and beyond to portray the "I'm above you" attitude.
They love to hide behind "I'm just doing my job" and many people like to back them on that notion. But no where in their job description is it mandated that they must be a prick or treat everyone they encounter as low life pieces of shit that don't deserve respect or dignity..
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I just don't see much truth in what OP is saying. Yeah, maybe there are people who want to be a cop because they have a sense of duty to server. Those people don't last. The cop culture is not about that. It's about power, and being respected. It's the thrill of having power over people. It's about fraternity and a siege mentality. It's about being an adrenalin junky.
I really don't think there are many decent people who remain in law enforcement for long.

I think drug users deserve more respect from cops
But that's exactly what any drug user with some semblance of sanity would say isn't it

The other day I parked in an empty parking lot at a private catholic day school for about an hour. Just as I got back to the lot, a cop dropped a ticket (which wasn't since it is private property there was no civil fine, but towing has been requested) under my wiper and was sitting in his car chatting with who I assume was a school administrator. He made some condescending comment about how would I like it if someone came and parked in my driveway. I resisted making the obvious point that an empty parking lot is nothing like a driveway. I simply said sorry to the lady, and got into the car, started the engine and then proceeded to wait 10 minutes for the cop to get out of the way. It was just total passive aggressive bullshit.

i agree. i think it really depends on what kind of police you are though.
your post reminded me of an example of what good police are:
it happens that 2 close family friends of mine are on the local police force
the thing is, one is a 911 dispatcher, and the other one oversees the automobiles of the force. my dad is a mechanic and he became best friends over 20 years ago with the guy, and my mom went to school with the dispatcher
only posting this to say that some positions in the police force arent based on brutality, and there actually are a few cops i love
despite how much i hate on cops, neither have actually arrested or harassed anyone, that i know of.
makes me feel like a bit of a hypocrite. still hate most cops though

I just think its patently stupid to hate on police as a group. Our society would fall apart without law enforcement, and a lot of them are doing important jobs. Do you realize how stupid it is to hate a person because there is a law that he didn't make but he is nevertheless supposed to follow? Countless cops don't give a shit about whether you smoke weed or eat mushrooms, yet you demonize them because of their livelihood.
