I think most people have a myopic view of what police actually do. The average person only interacts with police during a negative encounter such as speeding tickets or dui. The reality is that there are a wide variety of jobs that police perform and the majority revolve around non punitive actions to anyone not committing felonies and promote order in civil society.

Sure there are knuckleheads in the police force with complexes but I would wager the majority are probably looking to provide for their families and do an interesting job that can contribute to society.

I don't think someone's a hero because they punch a clock wearing a badge but I also don't think they don't sit around hoping to stick a fine on regular citizens for no reason.

I agree with you, but why should a cop have to work 60 hours a week so he can buy a boat and ATV? If he decides to get married she will have to work too. Children need things, and college funds.

Why does a full time worker have to work OT to have a few extras and provide properly for his family?

Those douchebags with complexes can still achieve the latter simultaneously and they do.
