Not really.
The police are employed to uphold the law, not be above it. They have particular clauses in their contracts regarding the stress of their employment which takes into account the environment in which they work. Just like soldiers in that respect.

Sure there are some bad apples. Sure there are some nice ones. Sure as a group you think they're cunts, and from first hand don't like them because of bad experiences. The same can be applied to the whole of the human race.

I suppose I just don't get all the fashionable hardmanning of ACAB etc - it seems rather pretentious to me, considering the stability and liberty of our society. They're only humans. Many of them did actually join to try and help.

But each to their own.

"The same can be applied to the entire human race"
Not really. Else I could say "nursery nurses, what a bunch of cunts", or "bartenders, what absolute wankers". Neither is the case. Police, on the other hand, whether through self-selection or perhaps through the pressure of the job, really are just a bunch of cunts.

You could indeed say "nursery nurses, what a bunch of cunts" or "bartenders, what absolute wankers"
and it would be equally facile and consequently ridiculous. I've been a bartender and for sure I'm an absolute wanker, and I'm sure you've been a nursery nurse.
