No doubt about it! All class all the way, genuine and well expressed emotions, great stuff for sure.

hey, did ya hear about the cop who went to work, did his job and didnt trample on someones civil rights?


Yeah, me neither.


first this is a bad joke, but it does correalte to the lack of positive stories of police work in comparison to the negative we hear all too often.

First off its not a bad joke but a dumb one. Unlike many professions in this world, Police don't need or rarely ever get recognition for the heroic things they have to do and see every fucking day. The only thing the media and liberal society seems to care about now is when the police step on their dick.

Atleast you didn't tell a joke about the 3 Cops that were killed this week throughout the USA. I am sure this wonderful tax paying human being would love your jokes…..https://youtu.be/rSzKWByXwNo

I have mentioned in other threads and various postings that there are far too many people in this forum that post their angst/hate for cops.

I call bullshit to each and every single person that does.

There is no way that what they post here they would say to a cop.
This is not an "I don't like cops website".
Fo shue

I started this thread because at the time we ONLY heard bad cop stories and I knew there were some good ones as well (including ones I have told). But I have to admit, the scale seems to tilt more toward the bad. And I think the main reason for that is the power given to cops. What about other civil servants? How many bad firefighter stories do we hear about? Beside Nurse Ratchet, what other horrible stories do we hear about nurses? The one thing that doesn't seemed to get acknowledged very often is the corruption of power. It takes a person of very strong moral character to not let that power corrupt. Yes? No?

Edit: Numerically, my experiences with cops have been more negative than positive. BUT the positivity of my experiences with good cops outweighs the negativity of the bad experiences. I appreciate the positive experiences and those good people who made them happen and I learn from the negative ones and do my best to forget about the people who made them bad ones. Always move closer to the good.

I recognize cops and thank them for their service every time I see one. Doesn't change the fact that there are many bad ones though recognize the shitty position we've created for them.

More guns! Less education. More corporate profits Police handling our mental patients.

It's not all this or that and good we now have readily available recording devices to capture injustices.

You guys are kidding me with the more bad cops then good thing right?????

If we take society as a whole,or any profession as a whole,I'm sure the percentage number of bad cops to good is less then corporate America.Shit,DRs,Lawyers,politicians all have seedy elements.
Question for you Brian(not trying to single you out but I'm responding to your post) when you go to your bookstore everyday, is being killed or wounded at work a big concern?How about worrying about being assaulted just because you work at the bookstore ? Do you prepare to make sure you can return home to your lovely wife everyday,because I know law enforcement officers(The 98-99% that would risk their lives to save yours do.)
It's easy to jump on the band wagon Espescially when we highly publicize police shootings.For every 1 questionable police shooting there is 10,000 good deeds that go un reported.
Don't be so quick to think 51 % of all cops are bad,that's horse shit.

So what your saying is it's NOT ok to shoot a cop???Damn stupid fucking people.Im sure if that "good boy" had got shot instead of arrested,that would be the story.Not the long history of violence and aggravated assault he has inflicted on others.Its a joke.

Lol, was thinking the same thing. Jesus Christ. There are 35,000 cops in NYPD alone. There are bound to be a dozen or two bad ones in the bunch. Same for any major city. Just like there are bound to be bad apples in any profession, or group or population. Hell, I see bad traders in the Lost Dogs forum from time to time, so it even affects our beloved little group here. You hear the most noise about the bad ones, so it is understandable that a negative impression is made. And we should focus on the bad ones to weed them out and prosecute them. But we should not let that focus mess with our perception and skew reality. The reality is that the vast majority are good cops who do their jobs well day in and day out and we hear nothing about them.

Hope its true. Adbook and all

Rr, missing where people posted more bad than good.

rgambs

I read it as meaning the scale is tipped toward the bad in terms of how we talk about it here.

Thirty Bills Unpaid

There are countless threads with blanket statements condemning cops and appealing to those defending the profession to 'wake up and see the problem' (as if this was a indeed a profound problem worthy of the highest level of concern).
