    “‘F the Police’ but who’s stopping you from killing me?” ―Harder Than You Think - Public Enemy

    I do believe about 20% of police officers have good intentions and significantly more signed up with that attitude, not knowing that they protect the wealthy elite and crooked politicians more than they uphold democratic values and ethical standards in society.

    Unfortunately, probably more of them consider such a career because of the authority it gives them. Therefore I prefer to say that “many cops are bastards”; granted, it doesn’t have an equally nice ring to it.

    It’s always there, but that doesn’t mean one constantly hears it. I’m listening to music a lot, so then I don’t hear it. When I skateboard or do any other sports I don’t hear it, et cetera. Only when it’s quiet I sometimes become aware of it, but because of habituation I usually unconsciously ignore it just as quickly. It does happen that sometimes in bed I keep focusing on it to the point it annoys me, but fortunately that’s rare. Not being able to experience absolute silence in a forest anymore disappoints me though; c’est la vie.

    That being said, I’m probably in the camp of people whose condition is mild. It must indeed be horrible for people whose tinnitus overpowers all other sounds.
