Cops: They Are Such Douchebags

Now I understand that some perks come with the job - like ticket-fixing, parking at pumps, free donuts, etc. - and I accept this without being critical. I understand that in the line of duty, in a heated situation where split-second decision-making is crucial to save lives, cops are often unfairly criticized for their actions (like in the Sean Bell case, for instance - where I believe the cops did nothing wrong). But when it comes to a scandal like the recent rape charge, there is nothing left to do but throw your hands and admit: man, so many of these cops are just stupid, smug assholes.

I agreed with the verdict: the accuser admitted that she was blacked-out drunk, and in the end there wasn't any evidence (such as DNA) to sufficiently prove that rape occurred. But still, for this idiot cop to come in and out of her apartment multiple times, to get in bed with her, to sing her Bon Jovi - MAN, are these guys stupid assholes.

With all the teacher-bashing and Wall-Street-hating going on, why isn't there more of a focus on bad cops? At least teachers and Wall Street execs have strong qualifications, unlike cops who need like 6 credits of gym to make it on the force. You know, if you look into it, that one bastard kid in high school who was practically brain dead - who got into fights for no reason and had trouble passing remedial classes - is definitely working somewhere with the NYPD.

Cops seem to have set the bar so low that getting aquitted of a rape charge is seen as a success.

Good job, assholes.

GIVE UP YOUR IDEALS AND MOVE TO CHINA

Just face it: the private sector runs everything. Financial companies can do absolutely horrible, lose all their money, and somehow the executives still end up receiving generous bonuses on top of their luxurious salaries. Need a bail out? Oh, just let the tax-payers take care of it - it's not like we have a bad economy and people are struggling to make ends meet.

Teachers are getting laid off; having their pay, benefits, and pensions cut; and generally being sent a message that they're worthless, little slimey worms. Somehow cops and firemen get off better when their jobs require a junior high school diploma. In the coming decades there are going to be shanty towns popping up all over the country, set up by former teachers who made like $12 a hour and no longer have pensions because the money was used to bail out financial companies, ensuring that bigwig executives don't have to lose their ski houses in Aspen.

If I have a kid one day, I may mold him into the greediest man on the planet. Screw your ideals, just go into the private sector, make a lot of money, then send your kids to private school like Governor Christie (the biggest teacher-basher) does. My kid is going to be like Michael Douglas in Wall Street. Crush your enemies and backstab your friends. I'll read him Ayn Rand before bed.
