16. No one should call police names because they are police officers.

Or refuse to serve them meals and drinks or tamper with their food. They are human beings just like the rest of us.

I have long pointed out that I believe that most cops are honorable people, but there are some that should never be allowed to wear a badge.

I believe that if we funded schools better and intervened with problem children professionally better, we would need fewer police, but some of those people would likely take up teaching. But anyone that believes that we don't need police officers in our society is a damned fool, often it is a good cop that stands between a difficult problem and an absolute disaster.
