You're just a grass with a badge :)

99% of the police I have come into contact with have been dim, poorly educated, incompetent and lazy idiots, and the ones who weren't had become jaded from working with the fools. Unfortunately we live in times that do mean we need a police force but what we have is bureaucratic, poorly organised operation with idiots as the footsoldiers.

It would be wrong to go as far as saying all of them (or 99%) are poorly educated, incompetent and lazy idiots, but certainly the overwhelming majority of police I have had to deal with - either through seeking their help or being the subject of their interests - have been unthinking automaton who are more ready to aggressively remove your rights and lie about what happened rather than to handle situation is a reasonable way.

I have dealt with some genuinely helpful officers, but on the whole most have been idiotic, officious, uninterested, lazy and (rarely) violent pricks - unable to think for themselves or engage in the situation other than an application of the parts of the law they have managed to remember from their training.
