5 Ala. officers fired for beating caught on tape

Couple things here, it goes without saying that the work police officers do is good stuff. They put themselves on the line daily with low pay for our welfare. Props to them for sure. A good number of them are also good cops as well.

Still, these are just a few documented cases of police abuse and brutality. Cops abuse their powers all the freaking time. Everyone knows and has experiences where cops have done that, and I fully agree just because someone has a badge does not mean they are great people. They do a great job but they can still be dicks.

And many of us would like to think not, but cops get a rush out of their job. Power has to do with this. And no offense to cops out there, but a good amount of our HS douches became cops(similar to the common belief) and these guys haven't changed just now they have a badge that validates their douchiness.

Would I trust a cop in a life or death situation? Sure, but not because I think they are all great people but because it is their job to help us out.
