It depends, I've known bad cops and good cops. I even have a friend who's a cop.

If it's Westerville cops though, then it's a bad connotation. It's not so much that they are bad at what they do, or they are assholes as I have never personally interacted with any nor have I heard much bad about their personality, it's just that their....well....bored. Westerville is a quiet town so they work to keep from being bored. They will call half the department for a single car getting pulled over....I'm not even joking. One night they pulled over a car in front of my house, and had 4 squad cars parked in the neighborhood, all so they could handle a simple traffic violation.

But other cops are fine.
