How the FUCK can I trust Law Enforcement anymore?! [View all]

(I am fully aware I may be offending people and if this post is hidden I understand but I need to voice this)

FIRST LET ME DISCLAIM: I am a white female who has lead a shelter life. So if you believe I am speaking out of turn I am sorry.


The few cops I've ever known have been cocky SOBs who where arrgant people -I've known men and women- who demanded special treatment all the time.


I've listen to report after report of police bulling over the past 15 years. I've seen the oncoming police-like state when dealing with OWS protesters.

The Trayvon Martin Case is the thing that has broken the camel's back sort of speaking.

I cannot in good conscious trust anyone in law enforcement again! I do not believe they work for the good of the people AND I do not believe they care about people BUT THEY LOVE POWER!

I never thought I'd be a person to say ANYTHING LIKE THIS but if I saw a police person unconscious on the street tomorrow I honestly think twice in helping that person! I never would have said that before. Ask me a month ago and I would have said. I won't care if the person was Black,white, yellow, poke-a-dotted. I see a person in trouble I go to help.

Now I would actually think twice if that person NO MATTER WHAT COLOR.

WHAT THE FREAK HAS BECOME OF THIS COUNTRY AND WHAT THE FUCK HAS THIS COUNTRY TURN ME INTO?!
