Alright, all I see on these boards are a bunch of gun-toting, beer-drinking morons who are at their best when they are bashing cops. McUzi is probably one of the top. I have been around cops most of my life, and I plan on going into the business myself here soon enough. Cops aren't the bad people here. It's the people who sit around spreading rumors about cops that are bad. This crap is getting old and I would kindly like it stopped. Everybody here has probably had at least one run in with LEO so most know what I'm talking about, The only reason any of you hate cops is because they've busted you for being an idiot. If it weren't for cops, you people would probably be cowering in your homes tonight with your pea shooters. Get over it. The saying the only good cop is a dead cop needs to be turned around to the people who say it. The only good cop-basher is a dead cop-basher.

I don't bash people for being cops. I bash people for being ignorant. I employ equal opportunity criticism.

AR4Mikie...chill dude CHILL!!!!!! grab a cream soda and RELAX will ya?
Relaxed now??? GOOD! Who gives a crap what McUzi says or anyone else says about cops?? They are JUST OPINIONS. and everyone is entitled to that whether you like it or not. ESPECIALLY if you are planning to go into the business, GET USED TO IT. If you are planning to go into the business you will be defending the rights of these "Cop Bashers" as you call them to say what they want to say. Friends of mine that are captains and seargants (when asked how they deal with 'cop bashing') they say "Screw them, doesnt bother me one bit" And as for the "The only reason any of you hate cops is because they've busted you for being an idiot" statement, lets face it, ALL COPS ARE HUMAN AND SOME HUMANS ARE IDIOTS. What makes you think all cops are exempt from that law of nature? You cant please EVERYONE. So just lets McUzi's comments run off you like water to a duck's back and move on. FACT: I have been pulled over many times and let off with a warning, heck there was one time I should have been arrested and wasnt (LOOOOONG STORY) then again I was pulled over a few times by cops that didnt even know the law so I took it to court and won. BIG DEAL. To let your fuse this short over people's comments is a possible sign that maybe JUST MAYBE you should rethink your career choice. Cant let this stuff bother you....it will eat you up inside. Never forget another story a friend of mine told me (COP) said that he pulled over this timid looking old woman and she just hauled off and verbally beat the hell out of him. He ticketed her and off she went in a huff. He thought she was going to have a stroke. No more than a week later he sees a car stranded on the side with a flat...AND ITS HER!!! he helps her out, calls road service and waited for them with her and as they fixed her tire. She thought he was the greatest guy in the world. Just depends on the situation I guess. |

Didn't the cops go on strike in Texas some time in the '70s, and crime pretty much dropped to 0 because of all the gun toting Texans. [:D]
One of my best friends is a cop, now a Sargent, and he complains to me about the a-holes on his force. His chief has been on a kick the past couple years of hiring ex-military for the force. The problem is that the job of the military is to confront and eliminate problems, where the police need to calm and negotiate situations. They have been getting a lot of citizen complaints on the new officers. It is like anything, there are good and bad people everywhere. It's just that a bad cop can really make your day suck, whereas a bad store clerk will just piss you off a little bit. |

I don't bash cops, I bash pigs. Pigs are police officers who abuse the law. Most cops are decent folk, but some just take it too far. They need to remember it's not us vs. them, it's us vs. criminals. And not everyone out there is a criminal. Off or on duty.

AR4Mikie
Grow up. Sometimes the truth hurts. My dad worked for the sheriff's dept amd my mom still works at the local PD so I have a high opinion of SOME cops....and you know what? SOME COPS ARE AS*HOLES AND ARE ONLY THERE FOR A POWER TRIP. SOME COPS ARE GOOD AND SOME ARE JUST THERE. There are boards where you can go and be one of the elite, but then again, why would anyone think they are elite cause they are a cop? |

You are a freakin' dick.
Shut the hell up. Cops, are people too. People have problems. They are not gods, or warlords. Put down the parcheesy board and become normal, okay? Oh yea, any police officer who puts themselves in harms way to protect anyone else.... thank you, thank you very much. Really. I would shake your hand if the line wasn't too long. I love you guys. To those idiots who think everyone is against the police because there are a couple of people who don't like them... You suck. You suck everything. You suck anything. You just freakin' suck. I hope I'm not being too subtle here. But you suck. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. Did I mention that those who are absolutely pro-cop or anti-cop suck? |

Gun Toting Moron checking in! [img]http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/biggrin2.gif[/img]
It's story time! Let's reviews a selection of descriptions of the activities of the "Law Enforement Professionals". 1) Earlier this year, a Carroll County deputy pulls over a 18-wheeler for a traffic violation. The violation? A TAG light was out on the trailer!!! The driver, when he discovers the petty nature of the stop, proceeds to use some "unsavory" terms to describe the officer. He is pepper sprayed and arrested for his trouble. Happily, the entire incident is on tape from the car, and the District Attorney throws out the charges. The truck driver is now suing the persons involved. Where will you live Barney, when they take your house? 2) In a north Georgia county here, it was discovered the sheriff's department is strip searching all the arrested persons for minor traffic violations. Never mind this is a violation of the 4th amendment. Even after an Atlanta TV station does a story on the practice, it continues. Now, the Feds are involved for violation of civil rights, and the lawyers are lining up for a piece of the sheriff and his band of merry men. 3) In a town near here, a child rides a small motorbike out into the highway and is stuck by a car. A passerby stops to render aid. Since the radiator is leaking hot fluid on the child, he moves the motorbike and car off the dying child. The arriving "professional" flips out about the "altered crime scene" and arrested the passerby for obstruction of justice. After the story appears on TV, a massive outcry by citizens to the governor(including me...)gets that set right. 4) The Luthersville Police stop a women for a traffic violation. During the stop, she takes off and Luthersville's finest pursue across three counties! Speeds reach 100 mph as Barney Fife and crew chase "the prep" into south Metro Atlanta. Never mind the women has a couple of small children in the car. Never mind traffic is getting heavier and heavier as the chase nears Atlanta. A gentleman is stuck by the "prep" and killed. Even the police chief of one of the towns passed though says enough is enough and appeals to the governor to set some standards for police chases. You don't run from the Luthersville POOLice. And you don't run from the lawyers that are about to chew Luthersville down to the bone in lawsuits either! Somehow I think the taxes there will be rising soon! 5) A town north of here with a two officer "force" has a police shooting. When the entire county sheriff's office and area state troopers arrive, he says a local citizen is the "prep". They surround the house in question. Repeated calls for the "subject" to come out go unanswered. The "entry team" sent in HAS TO WAKE THE GUY UP IN HIS BED! The gentleman in question is jailed for six months without bail. All of his property is sold off during that time. Meantime, the state crime lab is investigating and determines the officer in question has shot himself. When confronted, he admits to trying to obtain disability payments by shooting himself. Once again a platoon of lawyers is suing everyone involved that night for mult-millions. 6)In Cobb County, a woman watching TV calls and reports that man on "America's Most Wanted" is staying in her apartment complex. The SWAT team is deployed! They show the woman a picture of the wanted man. She ID's the photo as the wanted man. The "Skilled Professionals" stage a "dynamic entry" into the apartment during which one of the "professionals" allows a round from his MP5 to discharge into the house. Oops, turns out the man in question isn't the wanted guy, and doesn't even remotely resemble the wanted guy. I guess waiting and getting a look before knocking the door down was too easy. More fun to play with our machine guns and neat "Ninja" suits. Breacher Up! It's the people who sit around spreading rumors about cops that are bad. This crap is getting old and I would kindly like it stopped. View Quote None of these stories, and the so very many more I have, are "rumors". They are fact. If you don't like these facts, that is your problem. Yes, there are good cops, but there almost as many bad ones, and these people need to be severely constained in their actions to avoid innocent people being harmed as a result.

Quoted: Yum, fresh meat... View Quote Sigh....... And out of the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of arrests made across the country since January, are you sure those are the worst offences that were noticed. See my above post. It's not very eloquent, but it says enough. Cops will make mistakes. Probably in about the same proportions as 'humans' make mistakes. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends on the week, the phase of the moon and if the wife/husband decided that boca chops are better than meat loaf. You suck. You really really suck. Now just crawl under a rock, or, if you'd like [and i'd assume you would], tell me how you'd assume that if you and 15 of your closest friends became cops, how none of them would make a mistake. You mentioned about a half dozen out of thousands and thousands. I call that pretty damned good odds. Did I mention that I think you suck for being such a petty wuss? Oh, well you are. Get over it. |

Did I mention that I think you suck for being such a petty wuss? View Quote Petty wuss is it? The problem with your line of "logic" is when these people "make mistakes(your term)", innocent persons lives are changed or ended. My "few" examples can be followed by as many as you like. Why is it in so many of the cases I used above, the supervisors backed the officer, even when it was clearly proven they were in the wrong? Just more "humans" in action I suppose? Unlike you, I will not resort to calling names in this discussion. Law enforcement is a dangerous profession, full of poorly trained, less intelligent individuals that need to be avoided at all cost. My set of examples shows why. You have a nice day, Distinguished Sir(A prize if you can figure out what DS also stands for. Sorry, I couldn't resist at least one). |

With an attitude like that you will end up dead or in jail for excessive force quickly. Might i suggest a career in mall security? I think you'd do much better there. mike P.s. you're a dick |

Mikie, some might insult you by asking if your bicycle maybe has a little siren on it, or if (in the chance you're driving now) theres a bunch of antennas on your retired cruiser. Not me. But be sure to apply at a really professional police department where they have some effective screening of applicants, where you can get a physical that might detect any residuals in your body or any thyroid problems, and to ensure that your remarkable demeanor & temperament get the attention they deserve, along with your many other qualifications. |

AR4Mikie,
I don't post here very often (only when compelled), but I am here everyday, and often learn a little something, and sometimes even find merit in someone's "cop bashing" thread. Although a small percentage, there are some bad cops. Just as there are bad mechanics, cooks, and military fighting men. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps and 12 in Law Enforcement so far. I love my job, but have had the occassion to run across a few of the "bad cops" in that time. As far as the folks here occassionally posting a thread or two about being pissed from receiving a ticket or whatever and ranting about it, TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. Most of the members here are really good people, who contribute to the boards, and support each other. Lastly Mikie (and I don't mean this as a flame), If you do plan on getting into law enforcement, try and develop a thicker skin. Platform389: I think the only intellegent thing you have contributed to this thread was your first sentence; [b]Gun toting moron checking in[/b] P.S. In Before The Lock [:D] |

You know, I have been on this board for a long time, I would guess longer than probably 80% of the current active posters.
The few incidents of real cop bashing I see are rare and don't last long, nor do the posters. But I see many examples of justified questioning of police actions, methods, and attitudes. I see many fine officers on here who are willing to sit at the same table with us and explain thier positions, debate, and exchange opinions and ideas. But then there are the ones who cop (no pun intended) an attitude the minute someone without a badge questions anything they do. I have never, ever called anyone in LE a name or put them down, I have only questioned the actions and attiudes I have sometimes see. Yet I have been called a cop-basher by those who cannot take the criticism. I get told untill I wear the badge I don't have any right to question what they do, get called a wannabe, and otherwise insulted, because in the minds of some it is easier to dismiss me as unworthy of an opinion than deal with the hard issues I sometimes bring up. Those thin skinned officers don't last long here, they usually end up on Glocktalk. There anything but the most 150% pro whatever LE has done post gets locked. Its easier for some to not have to think about the hard issues. If you can't take the fact that the public you serve is going to question what you do and how you do it, you are in the wrong line of business. Get out now before you lose everything you own in court when your attitude oversteps your authority. Those LEO's who are thick skinned and open mineded enough to make it here and have been with us for a while are the ones I would be proud to have serve my community. The ones who can't hack it or have your attitude I wouldn't want anywhere neardy. And yes I too have been around LE a long time. My best friend and many of my friends are cops, I am a volunteer firefighter who deals with LE all the time on calls, and my fiance is a telecommunicator for the county EOC and dispatches the SD and 2 local PD's. Heck a few weeks ago my buddies ask me to be the bad guy for a training excercise for the newly forming county SRT team(that I still think the county doesn't really need). But that doesn't mean that I feel cops belong on a pedestal above any question. |

AR4Mikie, you are doing such a good job, do you think you can get these guys to quit bashing lawyers and politicians for me too?

BTW, despite your piss-poor attitude congrats on the new ham ticket, always good to see more shooters on the air. Now learn code before I begin teh no-code tech bashing [8D]
