Sorry about that but what was your son doing. They don't just kill for no reason at all. Just my opinion.

Why? Are you a criminal? Do you hesitate to ask them when you need help?

The only time I am ever afraid of cops is when I spot a police car with its radar hiding on the side of the highway somewhere. My reflex is to hit the brakes and look down at my speed.

That is exactly why I am afraid (LOL somewhat)-I got nailed in March going 66 in a 55...tickets are NOT cheap in California

No, I have no reason to be, they are people just like you and me. I obey the laws and I respect their jobs so I have no fears of them at all.

Yes I agree. Abide by the laws and have no problems. But don't you think that people that abide by the law get just as unfair treatment if questioned? It seems nearly everyone is treated like a criminal at some point in their life.

I thnk they make me feel naturally guilty, whether I am or not and it is a result of growing up in the 70's and my parents having lots of wild parties. We lived in CA but would visit family in the midwest and my aunt still talks about me calling a passing policeman a 'pig'. They were horrified but at the same time though it was hilarious.

LOL, yeah our generation called them pigs too. I said that in front of aunt of mine once as well. Well she was horrified none the les, and saw no humor in it. I caught my tongue saying it like that every time from then on out.

When i see cops walking on the street or passing me by with a car i always get scared. And sorry, i can't explain why... i just don't like them.

I am not scared when they are foot. I never have any reason to be. The only laws that I break-and actually I am ver good about abiding by the laws-are the speed limits while driving. Then I am always paranoid I will get stopped for a tale light being out or something random that I am not aware of-or some other random thing like not stopping fully or something at a stop sign. Other than that I am very glad they are there to serve us.

Nope, I am not afraid of the cops... mostly because I obey the laws... and if they would ever tell me to do something I would comply.

I am too and I do not fear cops unless I m driving-I have had one ticket and am notorious for driving a little too fast.

No, I think they are just fine. I dont see any reason for people to be afraid of them.

Read the story ( a longer post) from a reader up on the page a little bit-amazing....let me know what you think then....

I would not say afraid more untrusting of them. So much has happened lately with them just shooting and beating people. Now I am not saying everyone is innocent but if you are a police (PEACE) officer then you should be exercising more control and hold yourself to a higher standard. There is corruption in EVERY police force!

No. I have never had a reason to be afraid. If I were a criminal that would probably be different.

I don't think anyone needs to be afraid of cops. I guess if your a criminal or have something to hide, cops are not your friends. My boyfriend is training to be a sheriff and I have a new found respect for them. They are there to serve and protect. The work and effort that goes into it, is tough. They really just want to help people and clean the streets up. Nothing to be afraid of. :)

Thank you-I am a little afraid but it only has to do with the ones on the road when I am driving...LOL I got a speeding ticket back in March, but since then I have followed the speed limits much more accurately.

No, my husband, brither, mom and uncle are all in law enforcement or retired from it. It is their job to protect and serve. That is what they are here for. I am more afraid of the people that don't like them, they are the evil ones.
• United States

Yes to some degree. The only ones I fear are the ones with radars! LOL I got nailed for speeding about a year ago and cannot afford another ticket. But I still catch myself sometimes going 10 over and I am like oh great-hope there isn't one hiding anywhere....
