    How many breaks do police officers get during a work shift?

    They actually talked about this too, in the old forum discussion I pulled up, haha.

    Why do you think people disrespect police officers?

    Police have authority over your average citizen. So from the get-go, you have a power imbalance, which makes many people uncomfortable. But when that power is abused, authority becomes tyranny. Tyranny is considered one of society's greatest injustices, and many people will rise to contest...
