I think they're just people, some good some bad.

I don't think they need to be particularly nice to do their jobs. The kind of things they encounter has to make a person generally defensive.

True, but in society, it is generally considered bad, or unprofessional, or even unethical, to be mean and angry toward all of your "clients". Also, it is worse because that gun on their side makes them able to be more intimidating and psychologically abuse people.

My experience is very different, then. I've found cops to generally be kinder than necessary.

It could be that you are a pretty woman (not saying that is why, but could be). They have always been real asses to me, even in things like parking tickets, etc.

Is it fair to judge a profession based on how a couple of them have treated you? When you were, arguably, the one in the wrong?

They chose to work in a profession that requires them to lock up people who do no harm.
I'm sure there are good people in every brutal regime in history. If you feel that following orders and harming those who do no harm to others is acceptable, you are not a good person in my eyes.

This. Should have added a choice for neutral. There are plenty of videos out there showing police brutality, but there's also a lot of police that do their job correctly and have morals.

You cannot classify a person as good or bad simply by their profession.

Yes you can.
Do you think pimps and career thieves can be good people despite their profession?

Anyone who works in the sex slave industry and cops are always bad.

If sex slavery is inevitable wouldn't you rather a good person be in control rather than a bad person?

A good person wouldn't likely to be in control, but if I had my choice, I'd like to be in control.

If the sex industry was legalised there would be a lot less abuse because it could be monitored more carefully.
@OP
Cops are all round bad in my opinion, I rarely meet a cop who performs their job correctly.

This. It's like arguing whether there were good nazis, or if there are good people in the KKK. To join the police force you must assent to a most evil philosophy.

There is nothing inherently bad about the sex industry, I said the "sex slave industry."

Misquoted.

I know what you said, if prostitution was legalised then sex slavery would also decline.
