Thought I had a good JBT story for everyone.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Thought I had a good JBT story for everyone. (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 1/13/2006 9:59:34 AM EDT

Last night a buddy of mine(tattoo artist, big guaged ears and tats up both sides of his neck) and I get nominated to run up the road for food. (firehouse subs, it was good) We're headed back a different way than we came and see a shitload of cars stopped. Ease up on em, no one is coming from the other direction and there are no turn offs to get turned around to go back. Well then I see blue lights. I'm thinking fishing expedition. Shit. 2 young guys, one of em has ink and metal all over his head and we're in a firebird. Yay, we're fucked.

But then I think well maybe it's a wreck. But neither one of us could see anything but 5 or 6 police cars on both sides of the road. Everyonce in awhile a car comes through from the other direction. So yep, fishing expedition. Again, both stone sober, but me armed, him looking freaky, in a Firebird. yay this is gonna be a fun night. So my side starts moving again. Moving good to. So my thoughts go back to wreck.

I get right up on the cop cars. Mr. Super Trooper steps out in front of me, flashlight right in my face and yell's "PULL IT OVER SON" shit fuck damnit I don't have time for this. He walks over to another cop gets him, and pulls him up to my car. One walks up each side of it towards us looking in with flashlights. I'm looking ahead with my license held up. They just walk on by.

It was a wreck, they just picked me out to stop first to let the other side come through. I have been stopped at that spot twice before on fishing expeditions though. So I guess the point of my ramble is, don't beat on cops all the time, sometimes 4 people really did get dead up in front of ya and they have to deal with that and it wouldn't put you in a good mood.

Was there a BBQ pit with a dog on a spit?

No, there were a couple of really fucked up people, Head on with a closing speed of about 165 mph. Hit so hard it moved em 15 yards off the road.

Yeah, but I'm not a cop and I'm as guilty as occaisonal cop bashing as anyone else. And right after it happened I got to thinking how moody I was right after dealing with similar stuff as a FF/EMT and how I came off to people. Everything I wrote is true, but I guess my point is that sometimes, that "asshole JBT" has just had to deal with some shit most people can't, or don't want to imagine. And maybe some leeway oughta be given. There are still some that have no excuse but between stuff like this, and the one in the other thread that had to shoot the 8th grader, I wanted to make the point.

Yeah, BTDT and that's why I understand why cops can be dicks sometimes. That's why some of em are easier on other cops and Firefighters and EMT's. If you haven't been there done that, you don't understand, If you have BTDT, it's a quiet brotherhood.

I couldn't find anybody's rights to violate, no dogs to shoot, no cars to unlawfully search, no people to illegally detain, no one to give a ticket for POP to, so I changed a lady's tire at a gas station while on my lunch break, then drove over to the range to pop off a few from an AR I picked up yesterday (which I bought with funds from two weeks of overtime).

The FF had a pretty good one (grassfire) around Lubbock yesterday, but yeah -- for a Friday the 13th, it has seemed kinda slow. Then again, I'm not a LEO, so I don't know if it was *actually* slow or not; just seems that way.

Dusty_C, if I may say so:

That was a good story. It is a shame that there are so many people here that are so extreme that they can't see common sense any more. You are obviously not one of those people (I always find it at least a bit unnerving to count the number of posters that always call for the cops to "be shot on site" whenever there is a LEO-related discussion on the boards...).

Good job!

Do you feel that is against the CoC? Why don't you contact a mod? Are you scared of all us "big bad gun owners" that are tired of JBT BS? The couple of JBTs on here and their apologists will defend anything any asshole cop does in the country, and when freedom loving members on here get a little excited by their flaime bait they jump and point and shout and cry to the mods. So either contact one or quit whining about it...

Well IIRC if you hit an oncoming vehicle your speed is factored by both your speed and the speed of the vehicle coming the other way.

Don't for one second think that a few of the JBT apologists are doing so to stir the shit, and moderation I have found is highly subjective. I have only made a call for a ban of one guy, in the thread, of such an obvious troll it shouldn't have required mentioning. I personally wouldn't contact a mod either since I'm a big boy and can take whatever BS some keyboard commando sends my way. The fact is the above comment was meant to equate JBT "bashing" with the advocacy of killing cops, which is a huge stretch in the least. The cops can do NO wrong is such a minority here that the followers of that line have to resort to the "whine" card...

the 165mph was the LOW end guess from the cop I asked.

Yes I have a V-6. It's not stock it should have 2 more horsepower than the LT-1 did that year (LT-1 was rated at 295 at the flywheel my 6 is stepped up to where it SHOULD be 297 at the fly wheel. BUT I still pay V-6 insurance.

That's where you are incorrect. The (as you call it) "cops can do no wrong" crowd does not exist. I, as well as every other officer have condemned officers when it is warranted. I can think of two such fairly recent threads. The dichotomy comes into play when folks that don't have a clue about either police procedure, Use of Force, or Constitutional law THINK the officer is wrong. (Probably based on TV as usual)

The threads alway go like this.

(Egotistical cop basher) THAT JBT IS WRONG!! It's Unconstitutional to (fill in the blank) He should be shot/fired/tasered etc. MOLON LABE!!!!

(Arfcom cop) No he isn't, It isn't, and this is why. (fill in the blank)

(Egotistical cop basher) !@#$%^&*** FUCK YOU!!! I'm going to go off on a rant about things that are not even mentioned in the story, such as Waco, Checkpoints, shooting dogs, traffic tickets, DWI's, no-knock searches, donuts, and the JBT that rousted me when I was 17, just to show how unstable I am!!

You tell me which side has been let out on a day pass from the looneybin.

To intercede into ya'll little tiff, I feel the need to say that there are VERY few people here (I'm one of them) than will call it like he sees it. There are a few others but for the most part it's cop apologists, and cop haters. Oddly enough most of the other people that will call each situation for what it is, are cops. I'm not an LEO nor do I really have any desire to be one. But I've spent over 7 years in the fire service and understand a little of what they go through. Enough I guess that I have a little insight into what they go through. And for those that say "don't take the job if you can't handle it" need to try it. Aside from military, fire, or LE I think the most stressful jobs are the spouses or S/Os of these 3 jobs. They are out there hanging ass over the line to protect YOU no matter how little you appreciate it. You'd be a dick to if you put your heart and soul into your job and people pissed on you for doing it right and lied about you, because you were caught doing shit wrong.

Are all cops perfect? No. Are you? No. So no one wants to hear it.
