You are correct, Adam. My problem is that my experience with cops has been more in line with Tim's friend's comment:
There are good ones and there are bad ones, just like in any profession. The problem is that in a lot of cases, stereotypes exist for reasons. I've come across some cops who do their profession justice, even when they cite me for speeding (I can't argue on that ticket when I get pulled over for 98 in a 65). However the vast majority of cops I come across yell at me and treat me like a criminal just for asking the time of day. It's that sort of treatment that causes the negative impression that I have of them. It will change when I feel I can actually trust police as a law abiding citizen (which I should be able to) rather than fear them.
I find it curious that the style these days is for cops to feature a military-style 'doo. Notice that? It goes to attitude. Kent McCord didn't have one, and he stopped plenty of bad guys.
