John Mellencamphas always had a problem with authority.
He's been telling us this in no uncertain termssince 1983. Turns out, though, his aversion to authority is very real and not just fodder for a catchy tune.
"I don't like cops," Mellencamp said bluntly on thelatest episode ofClub Randomwith Bill Maher.
Maher, to his credit, attempted to bring some sensibility to the conversation.
"That's a broad brush to say you don't like cops," Maher said. "You don't want to live without them. Trust me, you don't want to live without them."
This is true. Despite what some far-left lunatics told you during the "Defund the Police" movement of 2020, police officers are vitally important to a civil, functioning society.
Unfortunately, though, the discussion really took a nosedive after that.
Mellencamp conceded that one or two cops together are fine. "But you get a whole bunch of them," he said. "and things get weird."
