Quote - Which is why I prefaced that remark with "Nothing personal." When you become a cop, you are not the same person you were before. And when you begin to enforce nonsense, what matters is not who you are but what you are.
Nothing Personal does not go particularly well with your "what you are" wording following it up. Man, I agree with you in principle but life is not that black and white. If you have a full-time job in pretty much any field I can think of, I guarantee there are policies that you are required to abide by that are enforced by people who are just people like you and me. You're basically saying (in a larger sense) that all cops are pricks because there are stupid laws against jaywalking and sodomy. This is a dumb policy, and it is very unlikely to be reversed, but personally insulting the people who carry out the policy is pretty obviously not going to help get it reversed.
