[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16408818, member: 193575"] of course the cop just does his job and the great majority of them think they're doing a great thing. but thinking you're doing a good thing and actually doing a good thing are quite different right? people elect politicians, politicians hire officials, and officials execute orders. the squeaky wheel gets the grease. it doesn't matter that the cop didn't write the ordinance to those who are harmed by the ordinance. cops are sent to patrol for crimes and potential crimes even though they have no legal responsibility to prevent crime at all. the issue I have with most LEO's is when they choose to enforce statutes which harm people and with unions, the fraternal order of cops, all of that there is massive pressure to toe the line. the best you can expect is a cop to be cool when nobody is looking cause they got mouths to feed. at the end of the day its by and large about going home safe and earning a paycheck which is what they are TRAINED to do. toe the line, go home safe, and enjoy your life you hero. but that's just conditioning. This would immediately rectify the problem but the result would be the cop suffering at the hands of those in authority over them or even risk losing their jobs. they don't need to. like i said, most cops have no axe to grind, and are just a cog in the machine. they have performance reviews like EVERY profession. what if all his arrests are down and he's writing half the tickets as the year before? do you think his boss is going to think he's serving his community well or that he's sleeping under overpasses? i've heard actual stories from actual former cops who actually got reprimanded because they engaged with the communities on their beat to help people out and shepherd them well. resulted in less crime, less arrests, and better community... but the numbers took a hit... so the guy got shit for it. nobody wants to go to work and get shit for it. so the good cops quit. same story with public school and most of the really great teachers. the incentive to stick around just isn't there. because this is not the role of government. punish evil, reward good, not charge people with precrime.
