I am the smallest of the bunch and no one said a word.

There are some cops that do work to get rid of that stereotype and actually do good work, but, the bad ones have really made all of them look like idiots. In the past, cops always went around on patrol, looking for trouble so they can make themselves look useful, never mind the fact that they created more problems than they solved.
I do not agree with you. I come from a family of cops and I can tell you it's common to find more good than bad cops. Sorry your not happy that your cousin would pull you over but I think that if I was speeding or driving reckless I would expect my own borhter to pull me over!! That is his job.
