dont be so closed minded and shallow. just because you got busted smoking some weed in a public place like a dumb fuck or got a ticket for doing 10mph over the speed limit doesnt mean all cops are bad. not saying all cops are good, but majority sign up to actually do good and TRY to make a difference. Cause honestly, how many of you with the acception of gaspar, would honestly run in the direction of gun fight, or throw down with gang bangers that want to kill you and try to kill you on a daily basis just because of the badge on your chest. people dont realize being a police officer isnt a cake walk. its a great deal of stress, both mental and physical. it is a very taxing job and frankly, most police officers are underpaid. have a gun pulled on you, then tell me how you feel.. fuck that, get shot at and hear bullets whizzing over your head.
It really depends on where you live. Yes, not all cops are bad. Los Angeles county sheriff station is just plain bad. My house was robbed before. It took them about 2 hours to show up. when they finally showed up, they told me my address is not correct because the physical address is not in the correct city. I told them that city hall determine my address to be this city and they told me city hall is wrong according their map book that they have. They end up not taking a police report because my address "wasn't" in the correct city according to their map book regardless what the city hall or any other departments says.
One time my friend got hit and run near the sheriff station. The car got totaled and Took them 1 hour to get there and told my friend that the location is not under their jurisdiction so they left without doing a damn thing. The CHP showed up about 30 minutes later and was confused why the sheriff won't just do a police report for my friend so he can show the insurance company.
Recently, the LA sheriff station's two deputy got caught for planting false evidences against a store owner for possession of drugs and fire arm.
That poor girl that was beaten at Santa Ana local bar to death. Yes, security guards are assholes for not helping her out. It took the cops 30 minutes to arrive on scene. She was announced dead after 24 hours.
I don't have problem with cops writing tickets. I don't have a problem with cops catching people smoking weed or doing drugs. That's part of their job. When the police's job description is serve and protect, they have to protect the community. I don't see them protecting anyone when really comes down to it.
You say it's under funded? The LA county sheriff average salary is around 65,000. Let see, the national average of per capita is 51,749. So the LA county sheriff station personnel is getting paid more than average America. Please explain to me if that's under funded.
Also, not enough police officer to go around? LA county is a multi-city county. Almost all city have their own police department on top of the sheriff station. When you need help and call anyone of them, they will tell you it's not in their jurisdiction because of your location. When it comes down to writing traffic violation? All of them have jurisdiction to write them in front of your neighborhood.
