Haha, I was just typing an edit to say that I understand that there's a difference between urban and suburban police officers in terms of risk to their person. My contempt for police was borne out of being a kid in a suburban environment where nothing ever went wrong, yet they were always there to act like huge a-holes. That, plus the few cops I know personally are giant racists, half retarded, scum bags who make me feel less safe as a citizen. That said, I'm sure it's terribly dangerous to be a cop in Detroit, South Central, or the south side of Chicago. I don't envy them.
