The Police Gone Wild thread

[ljs]

Some have mental issues.

No, they all have mental issues.

Why else would you want to have a job where 99.99% of people hate you, don't want you around, try to hurt you/kill you, blame you for ruining their life, spend every holiday and nights away from your family, get verbally berated on a daily basis and have to remain professional, get nitpicked on about everything. Where you have to make split second life/death decisions that the public gets hours, days, weeks and months to scrutinize. Where you have to watch guilty people run free, see children shot in the head- and did i mention that everyone hates you? Yeah- I can see where that might drive some a lil crazy. But hey, that's a choice they make and a job that not everyone can handle.

So ljs - what was yours?

The funny part of these threads is that the people that most of you like to denigrate, the police, are in fact the people who keep you and your family safe.

You like to point out those RARE times when the police do something wrong, but never admit that most police officers are good, caring individuals doing work that almost ALL of you are too afraid or incapable of doing.

The really amazing part is reading how many of you intellectually challenged posters get mad when a police officer actually does his/her job. They aren't paid to let crimes go just because you, typing from your parents basement and smoking "oregano", think they should just let a 'small' crime go. How about you get mad at the criminals instead of the law enforcement agents who need to keep us safe from the idiots out there.

And the dirty cops are the biggest threat to any law abiding citizen outside of terrorists. They can kill or harm you and represent the only threat with which you can't fight back. That is what this thread is about.

Actually pretty much everyone in this thread agrees that the vast majority of cops are good if not great people. Also the point here is more a question of what happens after one of those RARE situations. Juries won't convict and cops tend to get away with little or no punishment.

If only I could be as smart as you are and make such convincing arguments.

I don't know how you can say that.

In my experience, pretty much everyone here emphasizes that exact point over and over and over. We all appreciate the hard work that the police do and know that almost all of them are honest, genuinely good folks, we know that the bad apples are a distinct minority... we just wish the good guys wouldn't cover up for those bad apples as often as they do.

WRONG - the biggest threat to our regular day to day lives are the thugs that exist and are allowed to remain in our regular society. As sad is the events that were 9-11, regular criminals beat, rape, and kill many more 'normal' people every year.

OK, so you agree that almost all Police Officers are good and try to uphold the law - that just proves my point, Thanks!!!!!!

By the way, please show the examples of when juries let police officers get away with 'little or no punishment' and how much these things happen when the police don't do anything wrong. I know it is at least 100 - 1.

If only I could be as smart as you are and make such convincing arguments.

I never said I was smarter than you. I don't know why you need to resort to personal attacks.

When cops are really defensive and say things like 99.9% of all people hate us, that scares me. They don't and it's not good that you would feel that way. Get counseling. Cops are people. Some are jerks most are not, just like civilians.

Exactly. Hey cops, focus on getting rid of the bad ones.

How dumb do you have to be? I mean you know there is a camera in your car right? Pointed exactly where the "suspect" is standing right?

maybe 99% of the people dont' hate cops, but speaking from personal experience, about that many that you come across hate you-and they tell you.

I like how the D.A thinks anger management is a harsh punishment.
