An excellent read. I will warn the anti-cop members here..keep your posts with in the CoC or you will be shown the door. Argue the merits of this article all you want. Attack cops (including our LEO members here) because they are cops and you will be gone from the site. |

Site staff throws out a troll thread and the threatens people. Pft.

Agreed. Interesting read. Thought I would throw that in before the shitstorm, which will be along shortly.

Don't care. sounds like a bunch of whining to me, Own as a civvie sure, since the police will not be there the exact moment you need (nor more likely several minutes or longer depending upon locale and what else is going on.). but on duty....NOPE They should not have that stuff, you'll have an entire city as backup that will drop everything and move heaven and earth to save their "brother" who is "walking post." Plenty of help to be had faster thn any ciivvie will ever hope for, its a dangerous job...you knew when you took it on stop whining about it already or find something ekle to do. Its like teachers whining about low pay..DUH what dod you expect? Citizen not so much. So let the joe blow guy have it, and not the copper who does not really need it because he a tons of force to bear when he needs it. I think the biggest problem that has generated pretty much all the cop hate is that their fellow officer do crap and the are not held accountable to the same level of the law citizens are but are heavily defended. get few days off (with pay) and are back out at it no worse for wear. Anyway.. it not going to change so...Meh. |

Not a cop basher at all, but why doesn't the author address those states where LEO get special exemptions from gun laws? Where the equipment they carry is a felony for non LEO to own?

The problem with the "militarization" of the police is that, more and more, they're coming to look at average Americans as "the enemy".
It's not only about equipment, though. It's a culture and mindset, too - and as standards are lowered to keep the rosters full, so too will the quality of LEO's deteriorate. Over-the-top violent cops will continue to stomp on the constitution and the good ones left will either become corrupted themselves, or become so disgusted, they'll leave LE altogether. Either way, it's not a rosy scenario and I don't see it getting better anytime soon. Oh. And I don't "hate cops". I am quite aware of what's happening, though. All you need are eyes, ears and a fucking brain. |

I just find it beyond hypocritical that certain classes are fair game and others are deemed special. |

Alot of people hate cops, until their ass is in a shit sandwich and pray for their timely arrival, and that is a fact!

I’ll wrap this op-ed up with this. If you don't like the job cops are doing, then go get the badge and do it yourself. You don't have to do it full time. You can be a Reserve or Auxiliary - at a minimum you can go on a citizen's ride-along and see for yourself what it's like. You don’t like your sheriff’s department? Then go run for Sheriff. Get on the local city council. Demand a higher standard for your own local cops, with better training, decision making, and judgement. Just be willing to pay for that higher standard and training. View Quote This. Complaining on the internet doesnt solve problems. If you think you have the answers then become the Sheriff. Live in the city? Run for city council so you can pick the police chief. That gives you the ability to solve all of the problems with law enforcement in your little slice of the world. The learning curve is going to be really steep though. You dont know what you dont know. Like the soccor mom use of force experts asking "why didnt they shoot the gun out of his hand." |

I don't hate cops. But I trust 'em as far as I can throw my pick-up.

Meh... article is right... but still just TBL-mastubatory chest thumping.
I'm all about cops having access to MBTs and naval gun support if the various sets of voters want to pay for it. Just use it judiciously. Most officers and departments seem to. But quite a few don't... and one is too many. To use a popular quote in a different context, it ain't the arrow, it's the Indian. |

ya..I didn't consider it would appear as a troll thread. Just trying to generate good conversation on the "hate for cops" that seems to be very prevalent here. Having said that..if people can debate the article or express their opinions without breaking the site rules..then there is nothing to worry about is there.

When law abiding people "hate" cops it is usually rooted in ignorance. Little different than "why didnt they shoot the gun out of his hand"
|
|
An article titled with deceit that slobs cop knob and belittles legitimate complaints. Im sure it will be slurped up like nectar here.

Good Article but I get the feeling Stryker hasn't banned some in a VERY long time.

"If you say cops shouldn’t have access to “military” style equipment, then you might as well just say “lets cancel the Second Amendment.” "
OK, then when the 2nd doesn't apply to citizens, is it also fair to apply those same standards to police? Bullet buttons and 7 rounds mags for LE in those respective states, also. |

This thread is most definitely..... entrapment.
I'll be here all week. |

View Quote Yes. We have to fish out dead bodies from water from time to time or gather evidence. What do you expect the cops to do? |

Just seemed to be bitching about the bitching to me. Never really tried to explain "why people hate cops".
|

I'm going to reply with a few videos and then a news article that shows why political change is a huge hurdle. All of it will involve the police and politicians completely ignoring the law.
