A Thought: On Hating the Police


People "hate" police officers for the same reason they hate traffic cameras, because they, at best, have the reasoning capacity of a three-year-old and can't see the possible effects of their actions beyond what they want right now and, at worst, because they can and don't care enough about the potential they have for hurting others, because what they want is more important. 
 
Even as a kid, I hated specific cops, because they were assholes, but I never hated cops, as a whole. The way I see it, if you're not doing anything wrong, you've got no reason to dislike those whose job it is to protect us from the thoughtless or callousness of those are are.
