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

We watch so many TV shows and movies about jaded or corrupt policemen, we forget people join the police force to do good, and they really care about that.

In almost all cases now the police are as much an enemy as the others.

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

After years of police work, officers often can't help but be influenced by the cynicism they feel.

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.

For policemen to be honest about the fact that they may be fearful when they come into a certain situation, not understanding what's going to happen. The only way things will change and things will get better is if people are able to be honest without feeling like they're going to be offended, or they're going to offend someone else.

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.

I know there were many good policemen who died doing their duty. Some of the cops were even friends of ours. But a cop can go both ways.
