+522 In most TV shows they portray the cop as fat. Shows us what producers think of society's heroes, amirite?

And the cop is always lazy. Most people think cops are fat and lazy and don't do their jobs because that's how they're portrayed on TV, but in real life, people become cops to help people. It sucks that nobody is able to see this because they're blinded by TV portrayals

I didn't mean in cops, I meant shows like family matters and etc.

I know, but why do you care if cops are sometimes portrayed like a stereotype on some TV shows when there is a whole TV show dedicated to showing how police help the community? And honestly...some cops really are scum bags.

Jami, learn to use an apostrophe. Seriously.

I dunno, I myself have met some cops who are less than qualified for their jobs...

Indeed. I've met plenty. And some who are downright a-holes. It's kind of an ego thing for some of them. Obviously not all are terrible people, and most/half/some are wonderful people who really do try to help. But, I do want to point out, that I have an uncle who is a cop and he's quite chubby and likes his beer and the occassional doughnut. He's competent and all, but still...lol

I think the problem is that you get a lot of bullies who enjoy the idea of authority becoming cops. It's a shame.

*nods head* I wish I could say my uncle wasn't a prejudiced bully sometimes, but he is. Darn accurate stereotypes...
