i turned on the show cops the other day when i was cooking, and they had an episode in my hometown
it was depressing so i turned it off, it sort of did make me dislike cops for a second
not personally. just, i dunno. i always side with the criminal i think, unless they were doing something seriously ****ed up
in this case it was some black dude caught with some weed and extacy and an illegal firearm. just a run of the mill drug dealer really. and i just felt like he's just trying to make a buck, and the cop is trying to make a buck as well but for him to do so he has to come **** this guy's life up a bit. so i found myself wishing the drug dealer got away... thinking so he's trying to sell some drugs and has an illegal firearm on him for security... maybe to further his drug dealing enterprise he'll have to shoot some other drug dealer... who really gives a ****? i know that's not a normal response... but honestly that's how i think about it
i mean i do try to approach it as cops are just people trying to hold down a job too so i can't hold it against them personally.. and some of the stuff they do i legitimately do appreciate, like responding to serious crimes. but then i'm reminded of the other day when i pulled up on a checkpoint and didn't have my seatbelt on, and now i have to pay 116 dollars for that.... cause... i dunno why i guess cause some *******/group of *******s once decided that people who don't wear their seatbelts have to pay 116 dollars
and then when i remember all this i'm once more tempted to resent them
