Police Cause More Crime Than They Prevent

I really dislike the police.

In small towns the cops get bored and just watch the teenagers for the smallest of crimes. The only kind of people that grow up and want to join the police in small towns are those that loved to be assholes in high school. I mean what could be a better job for someone that loves to bully others around and get away with it? Being a cop would be better than a bully because then there really are no ways you can get in trouble for it. I read a book on how police are supposed to act, it was a training guide for them, and it was not surprisingly the only book at library on police. It said at the end that they're supposed to treat the people they arrest with respect unless I show them none. I show them respect and yet I've never seen any respect from them. It also said in the book that the law actually gives them permission to break a window and bust down a door if they feel like it.

I have been pulled over twice on the road. Once was for shutting off my lights at night and the other was for running a red light. The red light turned red as I went under it and as I turned right around the corner there was a police officer in his car. I had already seen two police officers in cars before that one so I thought for sure that there wasn't going to be ANOTHER ONE, but sure enough there was. I tried to be respectful, but he actually yelled at me. Not just a lecture, he yelled at me and said I better watch myself since I'd already been pulled over twice and I was only 16. The other time I got pulled over I tried to be as respectful as I could, but he basically called me stupid and laughed when I told him I shut off my lights for a second to see if I could see the lines on the road with the full moon that was out. He smirked, laughed, and walked away when he was done. I really hate cops.

All police are assholes, complete assholes. I hate them so much. To quote Team America, “All assholes want to do is to shit all over everything”. My friends were arrested after they broke into a house; they broke a fire alarm, spilled a beer, and broke a chair. When the cops came, they busted down the door Rambo style, cracked open a window, and they were allowed to. It's in their police handbooks and rules. They didn't need to, but like all police officers, they had absolute power and absolute power corrupts all men. My friends ended up being sued $46,000 for spilling a beer thanks to the criminal justice system. The court let the owners of the house sue them for that much so the carpet could be professionally cleaned, professionally taken out, and professionally put back in. They also needed to clean up the mess made by the cops. When they went to jail they were served brown water, brick hard macaroni, and stale chips. They could have prevented all this by not committing the crime, but the cops were complete assholes in dealing with them. The criminal justice system is set up this way so the cops can do whatever they want, the local economy will be stimulated, and the government can make some money off the crimes people commit. They also want people to commit these crimes so they want the cops to create all this animosity so the people will commit more crimes. The more rules our society has the more money they can make off the more people that want to commit these crimes. Rules create animosity between people.

I've seen many families go through a lot of hard times because of rules, a girl's family that I knew, my friends' (that were arrested) families, and my dad's family when he was growing up. They all had similarities. They were all very religious, right wing Christian familes, and that's why I occasionally lose my respect for these kinds of people.. They set up rules that they demanded that their kids follow those rules, the kids broke the rules because they were there, and much more violence was created because of it. My dad became an alcoholic around age thirteen when his mom didn't want to talk to him anymore because he was growing up and his dad was also an alcoholic. He and his mother used to have a really close relationship when he was a child, but when he got to his teenage years and needed help with his problems in school, puberty, or whatever he had no one to talk to. My grandma wouldn't even acknowledge him, my grandpa was no help because of his drinking, so he turned to drinking because he had no where else to go. His parents also set up so many rules about being on time, being a good Catholic, never doing drugs, and doing whatever they said. He became an alcoholic and joined the army as soon as he finished high school, his sister married an abusive husband while she was in the army, and his other sister left home when she was 15 with an 18 year-old drug dealer.

I had to delete two comments for heavy curse word usage. I know I swear in this, but if you disagree with what I'm saying try to come up with some intelligent oberservations or criticisms. I only flashed my lights off to see the lines, it wasn't like I shut them off completely. I wasn't a part of the breaking and entering. I know that was a crime, but I was trying to show a parallel between what my friends did and what the cops did. They broke a chair, fire alarm, and spilled a beer. The cops broke a window and a door. When my friends were convicted (they deserved it) they were sued for 46,000 dollars to (listen to this) have the carpet cleaned, taken out, and put back in. Cleaned could have been taken out or have been the only one used.

I dislike police in American society and those who act like police. Those people create violence, dehumanization, and irrational human suffering. If you disagree please present valid arguements. The last two people to comment on this page kept calling me stupid and talked about how someday a cop will save my life one day. I believe that cops are good people, but are corrupted by their job. One could save my life one day and I'll thank him or her for that. As I say in the last two paragraphs, cops do belive in decency in honor, but most of them don't practice it.

This topic was supposed to be controversial, but it's what I believe in. It's supposed to spark intelligent debate, not childish name calling. I will delete anything I find childish, immature, or stupid, just a warning.

I was disapointed in your article.
After reading your article on steroids, I was looking for a well written article that supported your point. This article was not well written, does not provide a convincing argument, and honestly you lost my interest after the second paragraph.
With regards to your personal experience, I work in a professional enviroment. You would expect the people I work with to act professionally. Some do, some don't. I assume that all professions are that way--you have individuals who are unprofessional in every corner of society. Unfortunately the worse your experience, the more firmly it will stand out in your mind.
Acting respectful goes far beyond simply the words you choose to use. In my personal experience, I've been pulled over by law inforcement more times than I care to admit, dating back to when I was 15 years old. I have treated the officers with respect, and typically have gotten that in return.
Attacking someone's character simply because of their chosen profession seems very closed minded to me.

Ken,

Thanks for reading my articles. I have some explanations for the two that you commented on. Thank you for the constructive criticism, I appreciate that a lot. Especially when someone can do it without just attacking my points and not providing any reason for why, you must be very intelligent to do that.

Both that you commented on were from my English class last year in college. I had a very unorthodox professor, I liked her a lot, but here's how her assignment for this one worked. I was supposed to just let out all of my frustrations or feelings about a certain topic in society for half an hour. It was a difficult exercise because it lasted that long. We were supposed to say something bad about the topic we chose for that amount of time and then at the end try to write something good on the subject to job our brains. If you'll notice I did try to do that at the end of the paper, I'm sorry if this was a particularly boring paper if you lost interest after the second paragraph, but it wasn't like my paper on Steroids, that one was supposed to be a neat, finely tuned, research report, this paper had none of that, I spent less than an hour working on the whole thing, and I decided to publish it to Triond when I was finished when I got home that day. No fine tuning for this paper. It was supposed to be a prolonged freewriting session. If anyone doesn't kn ow what that is, it's just non-stop writing to make you a better writer. She had us try to use nothing but emotion to fuel the papers we wrote in that class because writing comes out better if you can put some feeling into it.

I realize that I was attacking the person's character after going over it recently, I was wrong to do that, I should have been attacking the profession, not the person.

That's cool that you've gotten respect back from Police Officers before, I never have. I tried to treat them with respect like I would anyone else. They yelled, laughed, and treated me like I was stupid the two times I've been pulled over. My town has one of the highest levels of Police Officers in America per person in the city and frankly I think they think they own the place. I should not have generalized all police officers, there are some good ones. I met a retired police officer one day and he seemed completely fine. Another day my dad told me that one of the police officers he knows was driving drunk, he was pulled over, he showed the other cop his badge, and the cop that pulled him over walked away, no questions asked.

To anyone else who reads this: This was beyond a rough draft, I did not put a lot of effort into it, I should have thought more of what I wrote.

Thanks for checking out my article,

Caleb Nico

WATCH IT. It's long, but it supports the few good points I had in this article.
