[font=papyrus][color=goldenrod][b]Perhaps I've just been lucky, but the few poilce officers that I have known by name we're really bad guys.
But from what I understand, most police officers do have something of a superiority complex. And it seems that the worst in what the police force has to offer (at least in the US) tend to work in areas where there are a lot of us minorities. Once, I had a friend whose father was a police psychologist who works in the Juvenile Division. What he said was that most cops have such a hard time trying to catch the criminals who have enough money to evade the law, that they take it out on us minorities, no matter how small the infraction.
Personally, I think that the police forces in Northern California, especially here in the San Francisco Bay Area, do have too much power. There are numerous reports every year of officers going into schools and activities in which the participants are minors and doing serious harm and damage, with out thought to the fact that hte person they are beating up isn't even of age yet.[/font][/color][/b]
