Why do people call the police "pigs"?

[Alpha]

I think cops should exist to prevent crime, not to wait until it happens then act.

Cops do prevent crime as well, but you don't hear about it. Arresting members of gangs before they blow up another gang is preventing a crime. What would you rather watch: a high speed police chase or a drug smuggler arrested? I think most people would watch a police chase. The media usually only covers what's entertaining and crime prevention isn't really one of them.

 

Look at "To Catch a Predator' from Dateline NBC. That show is very entertaining and you get to watch how the sickest minds on the planet get to hear their own disgusting minds being read back to them by John Hansen. It's probably the only successful crime prevention show (ratings wise) ever made on television. Everything else to watch ... is the crime after its been committed.

 

It's how the world works.

It sucks, if you look at how much effort the FBI puts into modders and piracy when they still can't catch the big drug lords or pervs. But the record companies and big firms move the world so it's for them that laws move faster.

The drug wars will never end. Sometimes the smartest thing to do is allow all drugs, but educate people not to use them. That at least takes the drug lords out of business, when Marlboro makes them instead. At least, it seems to be working in the Netherlands.

 

It would definitely suck though getting into a car accident with someone who just injected themselves with Heroin. Imagine signs saying "Don't inject and drive", instead of "Don't drink and drive".
