What would our world truly be like if we didn't have cops. everyone would be killing each other and innocent people would be getting hurt. don't get me wrong I don't dislike cops in any way..but some things I don't agree with on how they handle certain situations.. but I'm very great full to have Law Enforcement on our side.

For those of you who feel bad for the criminals, here’s a tip... IF YOU DONT BREAK THE LAW YOU DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH COPS. It’s people like you who defend criminals that are ruining the world and society we live in. These men and women risk their lives every day so you and I can be safe. SHOW SOME DAMN RESPECT! If you are going to act like all cops are bad then I guess all dentists, doctors, teachers, bankers, and waitresses are all bad too huh? See that theory? There’s no logic to it. That’s no different than a racist saying all whites are trash or all blacks are thugs. It’s the same mindset. There is bad in every walk of life, that will never change but don’t lump all people into one group. This was a great show on the air for nearly 40 years and you woke tard morons had to ruin it. Just like you tried trying flipping Paw Patrol. For real, if Cops makes you mad you need a life. Criminals are criminals and deserve to be treated as such. The only thing that matters is the officers safety and the innocent public’s safety, the criminals safety is at the bottom of the list. They put themselves in their situation no one else.

Now heres a little msg to the ppl posting rude comments about our American Officers; Shame on all of u.!! My father dedicated his life to serving and protecting the community and hes one of the kindest, most supportive ppl i kno. He became a cop to help others and thats exactly what he did everyday he got up and went into work. The amount of ignorance so many ppl are expressing with all these riots rly baffle me. Black ppl for instance, dont wanna be judged as a whole for things a few do. Especially when it comes to being looked down on as a bunch of criminals. That being said, what sense does it make for them to accuse all cops of being corrupt & untrustworthy, simply bcuz of the actions of a select few who never even deserved the honor of wearing a badge? When ppl go out & loot & do other things that effect innocent ppls safety & livelihood, their msg gets lost to me. We live in a time where we as a society KNOW BETTER than to judge an entire group of ppl based on individual actions. Im ashamed of what this nations coming to. :(
