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.

I grew up in the hood, and I was raised to hate cops. But then, I started to realize that they're people, and they have lives, too.

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.

When I was a kid, a policeman was someone you looked up to and respected.

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.

Not only are police officers often taken for granted, many people are highly vocal about their dislike for cops.

I definitely support cop acting more than cops, but all of them ain't bad, just some of them.

I have no hatred for cops. I have hatred for racists and brutal people, but not necessarily the cops. The cops are just doing what they're told to do.

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.

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.
