When you are out and about, if you happen to run into a law inforcement officer, take a second to scan the area for potential trouble. You may be able to alert him/her of approaching trouble. They have been unfairly demonized by the media, politicians, and race baiters. They are being forced into a no win situation. The vast majority of law enforcement are decent people who just want to help protect our communities, and go home to their families at the end of the day. When we call for them, they do the best they can to help. The least we can do is be an extra set of eyes for them.

sounds like a good way to be mistaken for a "suspicious person"

Cops roll deep around here I always see at least two on the way to and from school and see at least one at the bottom of the hill before my house to catch speeders.

No thanks, I'll help where asked (or clearly needed), but they're not scanning my 6. Thats my job.

Last time I was close to a situation the cops might have been interested in I got to watch about 25 tree guys who do nothing but move huge ass logs all day fight about 10 thugs that had no idea what was coming. PSA, that 260 pound groundy that can spear chuck a 450 pound log into a chuck and duck is not to be fucked with at the end of the day on Friday.

Didn't Heimat Sicherheitsdienst Fuhrer Janet Napolitano say something similar to Wally World employees?

My area isn't a bad area, but we do have a fair amount of vagrants that we have to call the cops on, so I've met a lot of normal patrol cops. If I got involved, I've met enough of the cops who run this area to feel safe that they'd recognize me as a friend, and not a foe. |

I would gladly help out a cop in distress as long as it's not the chief, commies are on their own.

Maybe, maybe not. Every situation is different but I generally try not to get involved in quarrels between strangers, especially if I'm unaware of the circumstances.

Dehumanizing stare. View Quote Some call it the "Hardass staredown"... many don't understand western customs and apparently think it's okay to stare intently and not break eye contact. Some others might call it an excuse to throw - or maybe they wonder why they're always getting fronted on the street for no reason. |

Did a slow drive to check the area. I was in parking lot. But, this is Plano (according to Bill Whittle, the gun nut capital of the world). Not much crime here. Txl |

Seems like a reasonable thing.
I try to be courteous to the leo here, I've only been in this state for 2 years and stopped for a few minor things. Polite and professional every time. Only given verbal warnings and a thank you for my service (vet tags). |

Funny. When do I start getting paid for doing their job for them?

Since I'm an average white male I'm too busy keeping myself safe

When I see an officer, I'm too busy checking my speedometer, avoiding eye contact, and trying to evade the license plate readers for privacy's sake.
I try to avoid the revenuers in general. |

ironically I think the black lives are more important than anyone else assholes are going to get a LOT more blacks killed.
I suspect cops are on a hair trigger and more people will wind up shot/beat/tazed. and I suspect that if black people felt targeted or put out or whatever before, it's REALLY bad now. I've personally gone from not noticing black people, to basically noticing a lot more and paying close attention if there are more than 1 black male in a group near me or the family, or if a black male heads directly or is near me. not paranoid but I pay a lot more attention and notice place people now a lot more. While it's probably an astronomically small percentage of the black population that feels like this, but you wouldn't know unless it's too late if you aren't at least watching. |

I avoid any type of law enforcement at all times.
The whole "never invite the man into your life" thing. And yes I put my money where my mouth is...... I don't call them ever either. Even after a couple of break ins and stolen items. So I'm not a hypocrite by saying this. (The only thing in the last 10 years I had to report was a stolen pistol. So I don't get my ass handed to me later if it is found as part of a crime) And it is terrible when people get killed. But in no way am I involving me or mine into that type of situation. |

Will help out if they obviously need it, otherwise I'm staying outta the way. Normally I'll be keeping an eye on my six, not theirs. |
