Why are some questions about police more like rants?

I've noticed that some questions are more about moaning about a specific incident than a general question but much more in the law enforcement section than any other. Why is this?Why are some questions about police more like rants?
I think there are two answers to this.


Firstly, some people get a sense of power from being able to criticise public officials anonymously. It makes them feel big.


Secondly, I honestly believe that some ask questions hoping that people will agree with them and help them justify their behaviour because deep down they have a guilty conscience and know that they have done wrong but are hoping that other like minded idiots will support their view. That makes them feel better and it lessons their conscience.





BTW I saw your other post - what the heck are you studying for?Why are some questions about police more like rants?
All of the morons who make derogatory remarks about the police would be the first in the queue if they were victims of crime.





They want criminals caught but don't like it when police attention turns to them.





It is unfortunate that stop and search is far more likely to be directed at young black or Muslim men, but surely it is right that the police target those most likely to be committing certain crimes. To do otherwise would be a gross misuse of limited police resources.





YA has an awful lot of total idiots making points that have nothing to back them up.





Without the police society would disintegrate and those who oppose the rule of law are delusional and anti-society.
This is because most people's only interactions with police are when they are stopped for infractions, which sucks no matter who you are. This results in great whining on the internets.





The other reason that most law enforcement questions are whiny and specific is because any philisophical questions regarding the nature or necessity of police are immediately decried as wrong, unpatriotic or even unlawful.
Because people are fed up with Police corruption and this is the only way they can express themselves. I have never had a ticket or been in any trouble and yet I have evidence of Police corruption and nobody gives a damn except a few decent people on Y/A. I try not to rant lol.
