Just curious. If so, why? If not, why not?

I trust them as much as any armed stranger that I meet.

No. Jail 2 days wrongfully. Scum. Just about all of them.

I've never hated cops.

I hate people who get mad at cops and say things like, "can you believe he gave me a ticket for doing 85!? What an *******! Don't you have something BETTER to do"

Never trust Implicitly anyone who can take away your rights, legally or otherwise.

This. But for me it's because of recent, highlighted events where police have used what appears to be more force than is required to handle a situation

Yes, but had a a couple goofy encounters that I made their lives miserable for afterwards so it was fine. It really isn't that hard to get a cop reprimanded or fired, if you are willing to pursue it.

Hell. No. I don't trust anyone with that kind of power who gets the benefit of the doubt in every confrontation and has the full weight of the state backing them up and protecting them.

Only if they were required to have a college degree or 4 year equivalent. People with intense education beyond high school tend to be more rational and analytical in their actions.

Generally - yes.

A handful that I'd trust everything I own with, including my kids and dog.

Well except for building the roads your car drives on, treating the water you drink, ensuring the drugs and food you eat are safe, providing education for your children...however, we can agree on not inherently trusting a cop.

To be fair, the private sector executes those things under government contract. The government is simply acting as a central point for consistency across municipalities.

Exactly. The gov is the GC on these projects, and an obviously sheety one at that.

To the question, I don't trust anyone I don't know, and some that I do.

So because they contract these jobs out they aren't responsible for them? Would these private companies be providing these services as extensively as they do if there were no government intervention? This is the issue I have with being staunchly libertarian.

to answer the OP's question, in general...no

why:
if you lie to them you go to jail, if they lie to you they're just doing their job
routinely use thinly veiled reasoning to justify their actions and infringe your rights
claim "Crime prevention" but are really "crime reporters"
their life is valued higher then mine for no real reason other then they are gov't employees
are the current day "revenue" collectors/enforcers for the gov't
the "blue code" protects ranks full of scumbags and bullies
UNION actions that created pensions with medical full funded after 20-25 years of service while the average person has to work for 40+yrs

I could go on...but in general, don't trust them but understand the need for them

I know a lot of cops, and just like every other group of people some are good and some aren't.
