Part 1. In your opinion, are most people in government incompetent and dishonest?

[A HERETIC I AM]

20. Beg to differ on the police.

It seems too often these days, the worst types are attracted to police work.

My older brother and I have had long conversations about this subject (other family members have had many run-ins with the cops) and we both agree on this point:

There are basically two types of cops

1) the kind that just wants to get through the day and make it home alive. He does his job but got into it for the right reasons and take the "To Serve and Protect" idea seriously.

2) the kind that truly enjoys the idea that he can crack someone's skull open and get away with it and/or take someone to jail for no other reason than he can. The "Respect mah athoritah!" Type. This type sees the general public as nothing more than a "them", all of us potential criminals.


Unfortunately , type one seems to be a diminishing percentage and type two seems to be all the more common.


As for the rest of Government workers, they are by and large, just normal hardworking folks.

Subject to the same foibles as the rest of us.
