The police aren't the problem. We have great police in Australia and its a job I would never do. Considering the lousy pay,odd hours,ungrateful retarded problem public and the isolation coppers usually end up feeling it's a wonder they get any candidates ! For half what I earn they have a big target painted on their backs and seldom get the thanks they deserve. Of course some of them are wankers but how's that different to any job ! Only scumbags spit on people, I know from first hand experience, a scumbag cost me my job only recently doing that very thing. They didn't like my response !
Don't worry Browny, there's a shitload of us out there who appreciate what you do. Some of us even taught our kids that all that stands between us and anarchy is the rule of law , and by extension the people who help us understand those rules.
