What is a Policeman? Video Jul 19, 2012
A description of what it means to be a police officer, narrated by legendary broadcaster Paul Harvey, put to video.
If you've spent any time in uniform... long enough to experience the full range of emotions that law enforcement can generate... this video will inspire you through them all again. Truer words were never spoken and this video gathering, narrated by Paul Harvey, really brings it home.
NEVER FORGET what we face every day and what it means: to ourselves, to our fellow officers, to our families and to those we serve. Daily we see complaint about a negative law enforcement action. Somehow the "news" media misses the hundreds of thousands of heroic acts law enforcement professionals commit regularly.
Watch... enjoy... remember... http://youtu.be/wgrjuyn5e1k
-------------- JESUS DID THE ORGANIZING for His church and whenever men go beyond that pattern (found only in the New Testament of Jesus Christ) they do so at their own peril. One needs to only read the New Testament to see the problem that has been created over the last two centuries within the churches.

Quota's have turned law enforcement into big business.. I remember the day's when cops were cool..
Cops now are like salesmen, they either make money for the boss or they lose their job..

I've seen the good and the bad in policing. Gene Arnold was good at confiscating drugs, but lousy at actually getting them to the evidence room. Ronnie Deckard crossed county lines, while on duty, in order to beat the crap out of his kid with a Mag-Lite. Then there's all of that "professional" behavior during the last sheriff's race. It doesn't take much to sully peoples' views on law enforcement.

I remember many years ago when police/deputies would pull people over for drinking and then follow them home so they would get home safe..
In recent years I've heard they like to follow them all the way home and once in the driveway are arrested for DUI.
I've even heard they have given DUI's to people walking into a bar..

So this whole problem you have with police stems from driving after drinking? How long have you had this hostility towards law enforcement?
Did you have an experience that pushed you towards this anger?

So it's not the job they do, but the method they employ to do it? Like circling bars at certain times watching for cars leaving? Pulling cars over just because they see a car leave a bar or club? How about license plate readers? I can see how they can easily be misused too.
