I agree with VanUden's assertion that the 'police praise' threads aren't as popular as the 'fuck da police' threads. Mainly because I've checked them.
And I don't particularly like people co-opting an anti-police stance when they've yet to be directly affected by police brutality/corruption/inefficiency (either as a victim or close friend or family of victim). If you're desperate to sound off about them, go and take your chances in the kind of contexts where they're most likely to stick the boot in.
Obviously untold people have been directly affected, which is why the police have the reputation they do. But I don't think VanUden was ever denying their infamy.
