text: why do cops get harassed for doing their job? if the person would listen to their commands, there would not be a problem.  if that rodney king criminal would have given up, there would be no beating (that he deserved).  cops should be allowed to beat or shoot if necessary.  if a cop tells me to stop or lay down, i am going to do it. cause people need someone to blame for their problems.  if people did what they were told my best friend who is a cop wouldn't need a tazar, nightstick, and pepperspray to go with his gun.  people always want to put down cops, but who do they call when some punk is stealing their car?
