I trust a policeman about as much as I trust a politician.

Most of the full-time and reserve law enforcement officers that I know are more concerned about their public pensions than they are about law enforcement or defending the public. Few qualify to use guns and other defensive arms.
But they have huge egos!

Not all them are equal. There are bad ones and good ones, ready to do their job under risk of die.

Guzzy, using the word problem can go in many directions.

In the U.S. the oath of a police officer is "To Serve And Protect The Public".

It's not their job to "fix your problems".

If my problem involves someone trying to perform a criminal activity on me of course I will trust the police.

If my problem is my checking account balance is low, it's not their problem.

There are good cops and there bad cops.

To judge all of them by what the bad do is unjust.

When you've witnessed police officers doing wrong right in front of your eyes you tend to lose trust.



There very well may be some good cops but not from what I've witnessed.


It's a shame when citizens lose trust in someone.

I guess after living in Mexico and watching blatent pay-offs and things like that, I have a natural distrust. I dont think the Canadian police force is nearly as bad however, I know that corruption happens here as well.

I think it kind of goes with the territory. Some people just cant be trusted with power. But I think thats true of everyone, Like CC said...Look at politicians. mumbling

Who do you call when no one else is around to help you for whatever reason?

People hate police officers until they need one.

Of course they can't solve all your problems, only security in the streets and roads, these problems.

As I wrote above, it's not a question of being good or bad persons but trust or distrust their service, the result of the job that all of them do.

I lost distrust in the police long ago when my home was broke into and the person kicked my door while I was at home alone and pregnant at the time.The police said it was all a civil matter.The guy also


When my son was little and the wheel of his bike was taken off his bike even though we had it securely strapped to the rail of the porch.The kind of bike strap that they claim you can't cut through.

Mostly not, but I have to say that once, someone got on the roof of my house (2 am) so I did call the local police and they arrived in about 5 minutes and jumped into my house with long arms and they did check all my place, including my garden (big one at that time) until they made sure no one was there. I was grateful they did it.

I do not trust the police. I believe most have control issues within themselves.
