What I know from my friends who are cops is they keep their houses very clean, because they say you never know if you're coming back or not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have some cops in my family. I understand the predicament that they're in. Sometimes they go into it just to pay the bills or because they don't have other choices, or sometimes they just want to get the gun.
My own perception of cops was that they came into your neighborhood, they roughed up people that you loved for no reason and took them away. As a child you saw that.
In America uniformed cops eat in coffee shops, diners and restaurants and I always feel safer having them around.
I believe that most police are conscientious and want only to provide safety for us.
I think people really don't like cops so much; they're kind of rude to them or treat them like they can't see them.
The majority of my interactions with police were not good. There were a few good ones who were actually protecting the community. But then you have ones from the Valley. They never met me in their life, but since I'm a kid in basketball shorts and a white T-shirt, they wanna slam me on the hood of the car. Sixteen years old.
I own two beautiful homes, and I'm always half-expecting the cops to pull in, seize me with firm compassion, and escort me out.
I come from a family of cops, and all of them share that understanding that they put their lives on the line.
Every day, in every city and town across the country, police officers are performing vital services that help make their communities safer.
Most cops are not looking for understanding. They work in a world filled with a sense - real or imagined - of danger lurking around each corner and every hallway. Most cops are merely looking for respect.
