Well.............I have made a grand total of 3 posts about my disapproval of cops, not including all the return posts from people bashing my opinion afterwards.

That's my point redneck, you don't criticize police based on what is posted and despite other information that may change your mind. You base your opinion based solely on your disdain for police. Don't believe me? Here is one of your real gems:

And more proof that cops are ######s................Yes I mean ALL cops.

Nothing more than revenue collectors.

Your opinions have nothing to do with communism or any other political view, you just plain hate cops. The sad part is, cops deal with people like you on a daily basis. Some are harmless some are dangerous. But it is that very attitude that may turn a hard working, honest cop into a cynical A-hole that treats people like crap. And it is then those people that then go and post about a bad experience with a cop and can't possibly understand why the cop was acting like such an A-hole.

I have had only one "bad" experience with a policeman...........when I got a ticket for something I felt wasn't totally warranted given the situation.

Aside from that though, ......as a police officer you must have a level head and keep calm even when under attack/scrutiny etc. If a cop turns cynical from dealing with un-appreciative people, well they aren't really cut out for the job now are they? Who do you know likes to get tickets, whether they were breaking the rules or not?

And my reference to communism was towards you, not the police.

And I stand by my belief that police are not much more than revenue collectors..........it takes the majority of their daily duties.

Edit: CNN links are whacky, try the 5 and a half minute link.

It pretty clear he tried to run down the cop laying the spike belt. Interesting and rather honest comments by the mayor too.

Reminiscent of CPS member Cst. Rick Sonnenberg.

What agenda do you feel is being promoted? I've seen this thing on the internet and on the TV and nobody cut out the part where he tries to run over that cop.

If someone was really looking to promote an agenda, they could have cut to the part where the guy is lying on the ground and they all run over and start whooping his ass. We'd be calling for their heads.

As it is though, they show the guy trying to kill someone and a few seconds later he gets his ass whooped and most of us think "well, he had that comin' to him".

Really? Seriously? Tell me, what do you know about the daily duties of a police officer. I would really like to know.

Umm, not sure if you watched the link provided, but in the link I clicked on, that part is not in it.

Ha. Fair enough. I hadn't clicked on it. I've seen it elsewhere on the CNN website and on the tv station and that part is in it.

I'm still curious to know what you think the agenda is.

[burn_this_city]

I dont get why there was such an uproar about this. That loser almost killed a cop laying down a spike belt. I would have clubbed his skull too.

The word agenda is pretty strong but it gets my point across that there are thousands of people that HATE cops soley because of their job. The vast majority do a great job despite these attitudes. It is these people, who I feel have some sort of anti-cop agenda and that attitude, for whatever reason, seems to come out strong on this board.

There was a link on that same CNN page about a lawyer getting charged with murder. I don't see a thread on lawyers, yes ALL lawyers, being ######s.

So you approve of police officers handing out vigilante justice whenever they feel like it?

In cases like this? F-yeah. I don't get you bleeding hearts that are so concerned about the criminals instead of the cops and citizens they nearly kill. Maybe if cops thumped a few more skulls after high speed chases and the videos got "leaked" to youtube, some of these bastages might think twice about how they want their day to end.

Bleeding hearts? Who said i was concerned about the criminals?

I don't give a rats behind about these criminals. I just don't want our police force handing out vigilante justice. We a justice system to take care of these criminals. Then again maybe you'd rather we get rid of the courts and let the police be judge, jury and executioner.

It's because everybody agrees that all lawyers are ######s. I don't think everyone feels the same way about police officers.

Don't take that too personally, more of a reaction to both these threads and the people defending the criminals. Wrong term perhaps.
In any case, it's like these punks think it's cool to go out with a bang. Like they can't wait to see their stupid asses on those TV shows about high speed chases. Some kind of bragging rights, or what?

The Governator should pass a law in Cali that allows cops to blast these guys with their nightsticks 10 or 20 times after a high speed chase. Bet that'd make a few of them think twice.

I highly doubt anyone is defending the criminals. People who disagree with vigilante justice get that label thrown at them.

You create a slippery slope by allowing that. Some cop is going to go postal on some criminal for a lesser offence and complain that he should have been able to exact his own justice also.

Better option is to go after the justice system and have them install stiffer penalties.

Well I have a friend from college who works for the city police, and he tells me some things about the day to day stuff he has to do.................nothing earth shattering.

...but in addition to that I tend to see cops out and about cruising around looking for traffic violations or drunken homeless/native people to throw into the tank.
Have you watched Cops? They mostly just drive around and then pull people over to hand out tickets or DUI's etc..... That is until they get a call for a "domestic disturbance" where they can break up an old grumpy couple from fighting over the last cup of coffee.
