I believe that most police are conscientious and want only to provide safety for us.

The police officer's job is to respect the citizens that they are in control of.

Cops can deprive people of their freedom. They are sworn to serve and protect. They work for us and they belong to, basically, a service industry, laboring in conditions that are sometimes threatening, often dangerous yet interesting.

Let me be clear: as I have said repeatedly, I do not believe that all police officers are bad, nor do I believe that most are bad. But there must be a transparent, impartial and fair system to judge those that engage in criminal or unethical acts.

I myself have been scrutinized by militarized police, but I know officers who actually handle themselves in a certain way that makes me feel safe.

Understand, our police officers put their lives on the line for us every single day. They've got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law.

Every day, in every city and town across the country, police officers are performing vital services that help make their communities safer.

Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been known to beat to death those citizens or groups who question that status.

In America uniformed cops eat in coffee shops, diners and restaurants and I always feel safer having them around.

Police officers and firemen are so visible in their daily work, there's no mistaking they're there - and that presence makes people feel secure.
