What an absolutely outstanding film about the warrior mindset. All that they did to make things right and save the helpless, while endangering themselves - it was motivating.

The movie reminded me of all the horrible things I have seen in life... Mistreatment of children, murder of good people..

The ending messed with me a bit..

Yeah probably my favorite movie I watched this year.

In before the haters and yeah I agree it was a good movie. I think of it as a modern version of Adam-12.

I can watch just about anything, but seeing those kids taped up in the closet fucked with me. It's the one reason I don't think I could be a local cop. I wouldn't be able to contain my anger after seeing something like that.

The mindset is throughout LE. I've seen guys arrested for shit that isn't even illegal and have had the AO's tell me, "let the courts figure it out".

Meanwhile, in NYS, dude gets pinched for an extra 2 rnds in a magazine.

Good film. The camera views were a bit annoying at times but definitely gave it a home movie feel.

You do realize this cuts both ways, right?
What would be your perspective if a cop told you to just file your stolen auto report with your insurance company?
Not sure what your contacts with LE have been, but this "throughout LE" is a pretty broad and illegitimate brush with which to paint.

Disclosure: I have been guilty in the past of exactly what this member has posted, though.
I cannot count the times I sent someone on their way when they had a loaded gun without a CCW, in their car or on their person. Rest assured they were not otherwise engaged in criminal enterprise at the time.

If you are LE then you should know exactly what I'm talking about. Not sure how things are out west, work with guys in an anti-gun state and see how things are a little different.

How so? A cop has to do his job even if that means he has to enforce laws he may not agree with. I thought it was a good line.

Not all laws that cops may not agree with rise to the level of being unconstitutional, however, some do.

That 'just doing my job/just following orders' shit didn't work at Nuremburg...and it ain't gonna work today.

Unconstitutional laws are just that, and anyone who enforces them hiding behind 'just doing my job/just following orders' should get the same treatment.

I agree that it's a great movie.

I don't agree with your calling the guy's post 'stupid'. He has a point. He identified a mindset that has questionable cognitive veracity, and without substantiating your opinion...you just dismissed it as 'stupid'. Seems that may be a crux problem with the aforementioned mindset.

In my subsequent post, I was merely commenting on the real life examples of cops being willing to enforce laws that are unconstitutional under the guise of "I'm just doing my job".

The tyrants who arrested the guy in NY for having too many rounds in his magazine come to mind. 'Just following orders'. People being beaten to death with nightsticks while in custody...'just doing my job'. "If you film me, I'll arrest you"...

Yeah...it was just a movie...and I took the line in the movie as merely movie dialog. I took it as the character just being a badass. It didn't warrant me worrying about it.

What gets me worried is people who think someone questioning that dubious mindset being denigrated by those who just can't grasp the tyranny of "I was just following orders" when the law being enforced doesn't pass constitutional muster. Seems to happen a lot these days.

It shows the bond that partners have when you work closely with one another. Even after I left LE, I still have a bond with my last partner. We worked together for 5+ years. Even today, if she asked me for help, I'd drop everything to be there. You may not like your partner, but you'll be there for them and protect them with your life if need be. They really are like your brother or sister.

Those guys experienced a lot of action. That much action is rare in a career, let alone a week. Maybe it's different in South Central LA.

Good movie and one of my favorites.

For one it lightened the mood after the pretty sad ending. Two is showed a bit more of the banter that can go one between two people that work with each other day in and day out -- it highlighted the friendship.

I always wonder how miserable some people can be to nitpick every little thing, even a movie. It's a line, from a script, in movie, that's not real. But you're right, GD will find a reason to argue over anything and everything.
