Why are people so down on the police?

You lost me in terms of having a sensible discussion when near the very start of your response you said:

"Or are you saying that every time I see a cop doing his job and pulling folk over I should suck his cock/lick her minge in a frenzy of gratitude?"

Hardly surprising I couldn't take you seriously after that really is it?

Oh get off your high horse !!

: )

Part of your opening gambit was the conclusion that your opponents in this debate where childish and simply trying to be 'cool' and needed to 'grow up' - before you had heard anything anyone had to say.

"Next time before posting some derogatory comment about them for the sake of it or to be seen to be 'cool' try growing up a bit first."

Nobody got indignant and said "you lost me in terms of having a sensible discussion".
