Quoted: I guess I touched a few nerves. You may, or may not have noticed, (have you made detective?), but this thread is not about "nerves". You are being roasted for this; They have never done anything that has contributed to our society in a positive way. They have never risked anything to help another human being. They have small meaningless little lives. They have never grown out of their adolescent resentment of authority. They are they same people who hated their teachers and parents. They were probably sent to bed without their supper one too many times. I guess a few of us TAXPAYERS, have a problem with your atitude. Beekeeper, feel free to move this to the BOTS forum if you want to. I know how sensitive you are to some fella's ouchy feelings. Then you challenge the Beekeeper, and everyone else with another troll. Two trolls in 1 post!!! Speaking of "Feelings", is that why you posted?? Forgot to THINK!!!??? GOOD cop!! |

LMAO "Badge Envy" LOL. I think YOU have small penis/must treat everyone like a prick syndrome. I think the majority of ARCOM is pro-cop but anti-A$$hole. I know I am. Your incessant rantings about how superior you are because you wear a badge is pathetic. You sir have issues as a person no matter what unifor, badge, or patch is on your chest. COme off that high horse and spend some time with the rest of us. We're not that bad afterall.
EDIT: NOBODY CALL HIS BOSS! That's going too far! (seriously) [:D] |

EXACTLY!!
I have friends who are cops. I have friends who are doctors, too. The one thing that both groups have in common is that NEITHER of them contain anyone with the "I'm God" complex that many cops and doctors seem to be afflicted with. |

Quoted: Some people who post on this board have badge envy because they are jealous. You go wrong in the first sentence. Name names or send them a private message. Otherwise you invite the same sort of generalized criticism of LEO's and we all know there is no shortage of that. My major criticism of LEO's is that they confront the dregs of society TOO MUCH and often lack perspective. My wife taught Special Ed. kids (those who performed below their IQ significantly) and I know for a fact that some of her fellow teachers considered her inferior, unable to teach the "gifted". Total BS but illustrates my point. |

You know, I can't recall this shit, (like the original post), happening so much before 9/11. Did it??? |

Quoted: Good read. However, I do not think his action in this matter was because he was an officer. It was due to the fact he is a good person to begin with. If that makes him a better officer, then the community should be thankful they have him. I agree. The hero could have been anyone, but happened to be a LEO. Remember, there are always stories in the news about both LEOS and non-LEOs doing things to make this a better place to live in. The community SHOULD be damned grateful to have a decent person like this on the force. OTOH, had the hero been a 12 YO Boy Scout, he'd be considered a community asset. This badge envy BS is just that:BS. Frankly, I DON'T want a badge. And YES, I rank LEOs as individuals based on their own merits. On an earlier post, I mentioned saving a LEOs ass in a brawl, and later, to another LEO, I let him get eaten alive. Why? The first LEO was a decent human being that just happened to make his living as a policeman. The second idiot was a badge heavy little JBT wannabee that acted like he was being paid by the number of arrests he made. Years ago, I can remember sneaking a drink into the hospital when I visited a cop that got shot. This LEO was a kind, decent, and compassionate officer that had EARNED my respect. Being a LEO isn't much fun, I'm sure. IMHO, a LEO needs 3 things:1. Common sense. 2. Compassion, and 3. A sense of humor. The guy that can solve mysteries better than Charlie Chan ain't gonna be a decent street cop without these 3. |

Campy: I think that is the point of all these counterpoints. We, as regular citizens know that there are those among us who will sacrifice it all to help their fellow man...we don't need to go around patting ourselves on the back by saying, "Hey guys, look what one of us did." When I hear about some guy saving his dog from a fire, or saving some neighbors kids, or beating back a pack of feral dogs, or whatever....I just say, "Thank god that guy was there to help." Never does it cross my mind that that person could have been a neurosurgeon who helps countless people daily -- including cops and EMT's and firemen -- with brain injuries. I never think that the guy who risked it all might have been a WWII vet who dragged 5 of his friends from a burning tank. Or never think for a second that it could be a regular joe who did this out of the kindness of his heart and could care less if anyone says thank you or not. He did it because it was right, not because he need a pat on the back. I think that is the point....we don't need to prove that there are good people out there, we all know it to be true. Whether they are wearing a uniform or not only makes it more special to those who share the uniform. I see it for a great act of human sacrifice -- right up to the point that some asshole feels the need to DEMAND respect. Ed |

Damn, I wanted to stay out of this one, but find that I cannot.
To start, I do not hate good cops. Good cops taught me to shoot when I was 11, and shot for the first time in the Englewood Police Children's Gun Club. Yeah, a long time ago, this would never happen now. I was an EMT for years in a small town in CO in the 70's. I have worked with LEOs in many capacities. Some were good, some were corrupt psychotic assholes. I have also been pulled over, 7 months pregnant, and held at shotgun point for speeding 4 miles over at night on I-70 in 1974 in CO. No other offense, simply speeding. Just so some cock-swinging asshole pig could feel better about himself that night. You cops had better realize that defending the shitheads amongst you does no credit to the good cops. You chose your job, yeah, it sucks, but it beats scrubbing potties or digging ditches, now doesn't it? You are there to PROTECT AND SERVE, not harrass and humiliate. Some of you actually are good at your job, others have had an inferiority complex since highschool and feel the need to fuck with folks for a living. Clean up your own backyards before you whine to the civilians about us despising some of you. |

not at all. a fact is a fact...not bragging. the officer in the canton repository article is a hero. that's a fact. while i have done nothing that would get me labeled as a hero, i'm quite sure there are many of you out there in cyberland that have. i'm not asking you turn into a braggart...just fight fire with fire and state the simple facts. hannah didn't 'brag'. she just stated she was an emt. maybe she didn't crawl across a burning building, but she probably contributed something to society in her efforts as an emt. she probably risked something in doing so, also. someone metioned jonas salk. although he was a little late to help me, god bless that man! |

You civilians are pathetic. Always trying to be wannabe law enforcement by buying the latest tactical gear. Always wanting to own the latest law enforcement ammunition. Always wanting to carry your guns with you where ever you go so you can pretend to be law enforcement. If you want to be cops so bad, then go to the academy, otherwise shut your traps and give law enforcement the respect they are owed.

You're half right. It seems that it's O.K to troll as long as you are knocking Cops. If you post something positive about a Cop some people get uncomfortable. I don't have to name names, they flock to this stuff like flies on sh*t. As for the "Badge Envy" phrase. Some people don't seem to like it. Why do you suppose I used it? I suppose they think I am generalizing and associating them with a group or attitude that they don't want to be associated with. That may be true. I suppose that it is as irrational as pointing out all the negative things that Cops do and painting them all with the same brush. If Cops were to point out all the negative things that non Cops do, we'd have to start a new forum if not a new board. Some people here are quick to point out the bad behavior of rogue Cops and post about how Cops are no different or any more special than anyone else. I agree that Cops are no better. But, those same people are the first to hold a Cop to higher standard of behavior. It defies logic. If Cops are no better, why is their bad behavior any more note worthy than anyone else's. If you have higher expectations of Cops, then it would seem that you think they are just a little bit better. I don't see many posts from this group about all the negative things non-cops do. So, are we better or worse? Are we special or the same or less? If you can get past you're emotional outbursts, I'd like honest discussion. Incidently, Cop or not, the guy who crawled through the smoke and fire and saved two kids is a hero. I'd like to shake his hand. I thought it would be nice to post something positive about a Cop to start this thread off. |

I thought it would be nice to post something positive about a Cop to start this thread off. Sukebe, please tell me that you're joking. LEOs are held to a higher standard because they elect to assume greater responsibility in society. By placing themselves in the role that they do, they are telling society that they can be trusted to perform their jobs well, and to not abuse the greater powers that come with the job. LEOs get greater control over their fellow man, thus they are held to a higher standard. Abuse of a power of office is a much greater breach of trust than an infraction as a private citizen could be. Expecting special privilege because of one's office is an abuse of power. Emergency responders are assuming the responsibility of responding to crisis situations. Therefore, they are expected to be able to remain calm and respond well to stressful situations. They assume the responsibility to respond to violent, provocitive situations. Therefore, they are expect to exhibit more control in such interactions. They are put in ares requiring more trust than Joe Citizen. Therefore, they must be as trustworthy as possible. It is part of the job, pure and simple. Are you really a certified LEO? In what state? This really should have been explained clearly to you in the academy. |

I don't have to name names, they flock to this stuff like flies on sh*t. As for the "Badge Envy" phrase. Some people don't seem to like it. Why do you suppose I used it? I suppose they think I am generalizing and associating them with a group or attitude that they don't want to be associated with. That may be true. I suppose that it is as irrational as pointing out all the negative things that Cops do and painting them all with the same brush. If Cops were to point out all the negative things that non Cops do, we'd have to start a new forum if not a new board. Some people here are quick to point out the bad behavior of rogue Cops and post about how Cops are no different or any more special than anyone else. I agree that Cops are no better. But, those same people are the first to hold a Cop to higher standard of behavior. It defies logic. If Cops are no better, why is their bad behavior any more note worthy than anyone else's. If you have higher expectations of Cops, then it would seem that you think they are just a little bit better. I don't see many posts from this group about all the negative things non-cops do. So, are we better or worse? Are we special or the same or less? If you can get past you're emotional outbursts, I'd like honest discussion. Incidently, Cop or not, the guy who crawled through the smoke and fire and saved two kids is a hero. I'd like to shake his hand. I thought it would be nice to post something positive about a Cop to start this thread off. |

I'm not saying that Cops shouldn't be held to a higher standard. I know why they are. It just suprises me that people who have such low opinions of Cops believe that.

Wow - you actually thought you were being clever? Try again. |

Imbroglio: You civilians are pathetic. Always trying to be wannabe law enforcement by buying the latest tactical gear. Always wanting to own the latest law enforcement ammunition. Always wanting to carry your guns with you where ever you go so you can pretend to be law enforcement. If you want to be cops so bad, then go to the academy, otherwise shut your traps and give law enforcement the respect they are owed. ahhhhh, what a shit-stirrer, i cant stand this guy. imbroglio, why must you rub your nose in it EVERY time? shit, i'll pitch in for your therapy if you promise to go........... |

Quoted: You civilians are pathetic. But, ....we are responsible for our own safety, regardless of what it says on the side of the Police Cruiser. Always trying to be wannabe law enforcement by buying the latest tactical gear. And there's a law against that? Always wanting to own the latest law enforcement ammunition. I like the stuff that comes with the Death Cards....very cool. Always wanting to carry your guns with you where ever you go so you can pretend to be law enforcement. Happiness is a warm gun. If you want to be cops so bad, then go to the academy, otherwise shut your traps and give law enforcement the respect they are owed. We don need no stinkin badges! Oh...have a nice day. |

You're half right. It seems that it's O.K to troll as long as you are knocking Cops. If you post something positive about a Cop some people get uncomfortable. I don't have to name names, they flock to this stuff like flies on sh*t. So those who posted here "flocked to this stuff like flies on sh*t"??? As for the "Badge Envy" phrase. Some people don't seem to like it. Why do you suppose I used it? I suppose they think I am generalizing and associating them with a group or attitude that they don't want to be associated with. That may be true. A statement such as that is a good prelude to a troll post... I suppose that it is as irrational as pointing out all the negative things that Cops do and painting them all with the same brush. I can't recall the last post I saw that said "All Cops....". Could you refresh my memory, and cite a couple of threads? Thanks. If Cops were to point out all the negative things that non Cops do, we'd have to start a new forum if not a new board. No doubt.... That's pretty much all you see. You are societys garbagemen. We just give ya a nice uniform, shiny badge, and trick toys, to convince you you're "special"... If we gave ya coveralls, and a sedan delivery truck, would ya still want the job!!???[;D] Some people here are quick to point out the bad behavior of rogue Cops and post about how Cops are no different or any more special than anyone else. I agree that Cops are no better. But, those same people are the first to hold a Cop to higher standard of behavior. It defies logic. If Cops are no better, why is their bad behavior any more note worthy than anyone else's. Cops should be held to a higher standard, than the rest of us!! They literally have been given life and death power, not to mention powers of arrest over the rest of us. That is a VERY special responsibility, and MOST police have long and sucessful careers with no problems. If you have higher expectations of Cops, then it would seem that you think they are just a little bit better. You are hung up on the word "better". Perhaps "different" would be a better choice, if you need some word to "make" us different. I don't see many posts from this group about all the negative things non-cops do. Fortunatly, I chose a life-style that does not keep me in contact with the worst, and most painful that humanity has to offer. So, are we better or worse? Is the guy who picks up my household garbage at the end of my driveway, "better or worse"?? No, he's just different. He made a different career choice. He's just a guy who chose a different job!!! Are we special or the same or less? If you can get past you're emotional outbursts, I'd like honest discussion. Ok, let's see if we can do that. I don't know about you, but I find it difficult sometimes to express myself in writing. I'll try my best to communicate my thoughts. I DO hafta go mow the lawn sometime though.[:D] Incidently, Cop or not, the guy who crawled through the smoke and fire and saved two kids is a hero. You'll get no arguement from me on that score.... I'd like to shake his hand. I thought it would be nice to post something positive about a Cop to start this thread off. I suppose just asking the question "Why are we different", on page 1 instead of page 4, would have been a rather simplistic approach....[:D] |
