Why people hate police?

Answer 1

It is often a result of the people they have deal with all day.

By the end of a shift dealing with everyone else's problems and stupidity they are tired and it effects their attitude. Generalizing any profession is wrong, many officers maintain polite decorum from start of shift to end of shift.

Answer 2

People hate the Police because they are people that are paid, to enforce laws. Regardless of the morality of that law. It may be a law they may or may not agree with but they have sold their right to disagree and must enforce it.

For example, Police in Nazi Germany were paid, to harass Jewish citizens, and did so without any moral thought.

There are a lot of police who do the exact same crap any other person does that is illegal. I have witnessed many cops drive drunk from country clubs i have worked at yet they wouldn't hesitate to arrest a person for DWI.

Police will pull you over because you are talking on your mobile phone and then do exactly the same thing because the law only applies to civilians. Morality, fair play and simply good values do not apply to them.

Usually young males from 16 - 25 are not fond of police because they are targets of profiling.

Police are more likely to mess with young males and try to screw underage girls, which was very rampant when I was in High School.

Police will lie about your rights and try to force you to do things you don't legally have to. Ie the right to record an officer whilst they are doing their duty.

Police will take the car of a speeding motorist without the motorists permission, and then speed off to their next encounter, without warning lights, to arrest a thief for doing the exact same thing because the law says they can.

I have friend who was pulled over by her ex because she was driving with another male and the cop proceeded to beat the hell out of him.

There are good cops out there, but the system is designed to weed them out pretty quickly.

Answer 3

Most will agree that because police officers are immune, from both civil as well as criminal prosecution, from a great deal of their conduct when dealing with the public; that they have grown callus (if not totalitarian) in their treatment of other people.

Several groups are attempting to reinstate prosecution of police for their conduct, although they are meeting with a great deal of resistance; police often arrest them for even attempting it, and the majority are too afraid to approach the subject (because of the threat of arrest).

An Opposing View: The above so-called "information," that they are IMMUNE from civil and criminal prosecution, will no doubt come as a surprising shock to many law enforcement officers and their agencies who have been successfully sued (and some jailed) over the years for violations of various civil and criminal laws and regulations. (in the US) NO ONE is immune from being brought before the courts to answer for their activities if credible evidence of their alleged misconduct can be presented and sustained.

Answer 5

Some people may dislike or resent the police due to negative personal experiences or perceptions of police misconduct or abuse of power. Additionally, systemic issues such as racism and bias in policing can contribute to distrust of law enforcement among certain communities.
