80% of the time: An average guy on a slight power trip just doing what he told to do and wasting other peoples' time. Cops are usually trained to think that they're 'better' than citizens. Can commonly be found writing tickets, drinking coffee, and eating donuts. Perhaps sometimes they break up parties, pull over someone for DUI, or something similar. Not very adept at thinking, though. In really dangerous areas however, cops are usually bigger jackasses, but for once they're doing something useful (i.e. their JOBS.)
18% of the time: A jackass on a huge power trip that uses his enforcement powers to indirectly invoke a silly measuring contest. These guys (or also women, because female cops from my observations tend to be huge bitches with a need to act tough) feel good from humiliating people, using the maximum amount of force necessary, acting superior, etc. Tends to be the kind with a huge ego who bullied/was bullied in school and is trying to make up for it.
2% of the time: Good, hardworking people who reluctantly enforce stupid laws as little as possible while taking true violent offenders off the street. Usually pretty nice to ordinary people and good at diffusing situations.
Most cops are kind of lame, but not too horrible, a good portion are complete jackasses, and a few are worthy people. Sounds like most of society.

The following joke illustrates the perfect example:
A woman was running late for work. She zooms along an overpass. Unbeknownst to her, a cop seeking to make his quota in order to be promoted to prime asshole is hiding behind a billboard at the end of the overpass; he measures her speed with a radar gun, takes off after her and pulls her over.
"Where's the fire?"
"What fire? I'm late to work."
"Is that so? What do you do?"
"I'm a rectum stretcher."
"How do you do that?"
"I work all my fingers in until I have both hands all the way inside, then I stretch out the rectum until it's a big asshole."
"And what, may I ask, do you do with a big asshole?"
"I put him behind a billboard on an overpass and give him a radar gun."
