Maybe ALL cops don't act like that, but ENOUGH of them do to make it so that I have an overall bad taste in mymouth about police officers. I still treat them with respect, but I don't trust them, and I am affraid of them. As a law abiding citizen, I am affraid of the police. No citizen's academy is going to take away the fact that I have been repeatedly mistreated by police officers, without provocation, and while being polite and not acting like a know-it-all. I've seen enough mistreatment personally, and read enough complete lies in police reports, AND been assaulted by a police officer when I didn't do anything to provoke him... that I don't want to give them another chance. I'm done with the police, and I don't plan on calling them in the future, because I don't desire to be assualted and threatened again for doing absolutely nothing. No academy is going to clear up some misunderstanding, because thinking that it's wrong for the police to abuse me and lie about it in their reports is NOT a misunderstanding.
I'm sick and tired of cops. I'm done with them. I'll take care of myself. There's a saying in police circles "If you don't like cops, next time call a crackhead". How about I don't "call" anybody. I'll take care of myself. I trust me not to abuse citizens without provocation. Cops have proven time and time again to me that they will, so it can't just be bad luck.
So I beg of you, help me to understand how a citizen's academy will explain to me why what happened in my last post was ok. I'd love to hear an explaination about why I don't deserve my constitutional rights. It must be my lack of understanding, so please enlighten me.

Expvideo,
If you were to actually sign up and do it, yes it would help.They areset up to build better relationships with the public, and to form ties with citizens who are wanting to further their understanding of police work. It's a chance to go inside of a world that you have only seen from the outside. You would be free to ask q's and not be ridiculed for your comments (unlike this forum). Sound like something you would like to do?.
The other option is continue to collect all the negative stories, and draw broad uninformed conclusions as to how ALL Officers act.
