For better or worse, dark humor comes to a new level inside a police station. Nothing is sacred. Doesn't mean that cops like seeing kids hurt, but they'll talk shit about anything. As a vet, dark humor I understand. Time and a place I also understand, and keeping your dark humor inside the station I understand too. But if it's discussed here it's a no-no? If I'm not mistaken, you have your own forum for that like we do. |

I actually think police like military should held to a high standard. Teachers also. That said I think most of the time cops are their own worst enemy, all three of these professions should also be highly respected. Now most of what we are seeing directed at leos is uncalled for but then you get high profile cases like the LAPD shooting up a truck or LA sheriffs horse thief beating and nothing happens no one is fired no one is told to find a new job. So what happens the publics opinions starts to shift they start to lose respect of the people. It is time for something to change or the feds are going to step in and force change which won't be for the better..

I totally appreciate that every occupation has their 10%. And hats off to the LEOs in here who simply said this shooter is obviously a fuck up and left it at that. My beef is with some of the usual suspects who are showing their asses, and sorry but I just don't think a thread about a 4 year old girl getting shot is the time to wax nostalgic about giving your co-workers a good ribbing about shooting an innocent civilian, killing an old granny, or discussing how if your co-worker shot a 4 year old girl how that would be comedy gold. If you're looking around to figure out why LEOs get a bad rap, look no farther than this thread. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I think you missed it. Yeah, I missed the corollary to how "I had to draw down once" makes shooting a little girl a laugh riot. I didn't read it that way but if I missed it please point it out.

Yeah, there could be that 10% here but the 90% got tired of being accused of being part of the smaller group and decided f-it, may as well have some fun jerking the anti LE's chain. |

That doesn't sound like a pitbull or rottweiler dog name. sounds like a terrier or collie or pug, or something. So a dog's name is now what decides what breed it is and how much it weighs? They say the roughly 40-pound dog, a bulldog mix named Patches |

Either way, implying that this is "acceptable" is a bullshit child-troll statement. View Quote I don't disagree, but on the scale of childish troll statements, it kinda pales in comparison to laughing about the shooting, saying it would provide years of laughter in the office, and then going on to share stories of other laugh riots like shooting a woman, and killing a grandma on the porch, doncha think? I will add as well, anyone else attempts to shoot a dog and instead shoots a 4 year old girl, the wheels of justice probably move a wee bit swifter, and will without a doubt result in some serious consequences legally. However here we've had folks openly admit that it wont, and state they're sure they'd still have a desk at work afterwards. So maybe some of the LEOs here are the ones perpetuating the idea that shooting a civvy is a practice without consequence. |

Anything short of actual prosecution says it is. And therein lies the problem. Any other profession a person will be held criminally liable for shooting an innocent bystander, we're talking prison time. But in a profession where people are supposedly trained to handle firearms in tense situations and avoid accidents like this, it seems to the layperson that a cop can injure or kill an innocent bystander and get off with a job suspension or a demotion (if even that). And then we have geniuses in this thread talking about how they would be joking about it for years to come. Is it any surprise why fewer people trust the police? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

We had a local sheriffs deputy shoot him self while attempting to shoot a "vicious" dog. The vicious dog was shown in the news report to be playing with children after the incident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHsIwQkAJxw View Quote Not saying the cop needed to shoot the dog, but it was a Pit Bull. I have one directly behind me. He gets in our yard all the time. He's playful as fuck. He even bellies up to my Beagles. My BIL also has one that's be cuddliest dog I ever met. On the other hand, a "playful" pit bull mauled our dog when I was a kid. My father emptied his .357 into it. I also have two extremely aggressive Pit Bulls next door who smash head first into our fence whenever my dogs are out. I had to rebuild the fence to reinforce it to protect my dogs, wife, and kids and started keeping my shotgun in the kitchen near be back door. And my father was a cop. He was never in a hurry to shoot dogs, he only killed that one Pit Bull that I know of but he was bitten multiple times on the job. I love dogs and know not all Pit Bulls attack, but a Pit Bull that I don't know is off the leash starts charging my way I'll shoot the fucker too. |

We mercilessly mocked the cop at work who shot at a guy and instead killed a grandmother sitting on her porch. Even more so after we found out he wanted to put in for a medal. IMO, that kind of negligence shouldn't be mocked or laughed at - it should be punished and held up as an example to others, that you own the consequences of every bullet you fire, from the moment it leaves your barrel until it comes to rest. Meh, I'm not the PC or the DA. Those decisions were wayyyy above my paygrade. Nevertheless, using an event like that as an office joke is pretty messed up. If I had a co-worker who (for example) tried to tie his shoes on the road in a company car and ran over a kid or an old woman through his own negligence, I don't think anybody would be making jokes about it. I'm not a cop but even I recognize its a coping mechanism. See nothing but shit day in and day out and you don't think they have to find ways to deal with it? My father had a permanent injury from a plane crash so was put on permanent light duty. They put him in dispatch. He hated it. They had civilians take the 911 calls and about a dozen officers do the actual dispatching. The city decided to put civilians in dispatch to save money. I remember my father saying it was a bad idea because they wouldn't be able to handle what actually went on over the air. Sure enough, within a month the city was flooded with complaints from the new dispatchers that went all the way to the mayor's office, and officers were forced to undergo sensitivity training so they wouldn't damage the delicate sensibilities of the new dispatchers. This all happened around the same time Boston cops were ordered to stop using the term "Paddy wagon" because it was deemed a racial slur. Nobody knows who was actually offended because despite a large portion of BPD being Irish, including three generations of my family wearing the badge, we don't see it as a racial slur. They also replaced all 2,000 BPD badges because female officers were offended they said "Patrolman" (or so the city claimed). They were issued new badges that said "Police Officer". Lots of herp derp in that city. |
