They deserve medals not protests you dumb asses.

Wait, so they all deserve medals? Even those who are proven to abuse their power? Wilson does NOT deserve to be the poster-child of police brutality, but your attitude is offering complicity to the system which protects the cops who have done horrible, disgusting things while on duty.
I fully support this thread as long as people remember that it's OK to criticize police brutality and praise police efforts without offering blanket acceptance or condemnation.

Gambsy,good to see you on your game early on a Sat.Of course they ALL don't deserve medals.But those who risk going home to there families while helping others and keeping us safe sure as hell do.And I will add they deserve better then what some of the comments on these cop hate threads have been spewing.
how about a thread about piece a shit criminals that try to hurt,rob,kill,rape,assault and the people who put their lives in front of us without hesitation to stop such evil scum.I think JC during one of his sober ramblings said a cop shoots a person every 28 min.I don't know how factual that is but if it is I would say how many of those shot put themselves in position to be shot.Im sure it is a really high number.
if a cop shoots an innocent person without good reason or not in the line of duty,then he/she should be held accountable and is no better then the scum they are to be protecting us from.This is not broad blanket.But the vast overwhelming majority are hard working good people who truly want to do good and they should be celebrated.

I love to post first thing in the morning, but I shouldn't because it is my surliest time of day.
You found the root of my distrust! There was a great kerfuffle between the Society of Bearded men and the RCMP and ever since then, I have been acutely aware of the ongoing conspiracy to criminalize beards!

It must be interesting being at you guys' table at pre parties!! Lol we need a PJ debate team!

I honestly agree with many points made here. But, kudos to Last 12 for this thread. I think often times we get caught up in one scenario or another, and then our opinions get rooted into a pint that we consider them a fact; we believe them so strongly. And in that stance we often don't see things clearly. It seems though that you have brought up a great thing to remember in this day and age, and that is that the majority of officers get into the field because they WANT TO HELP. They want to do good things with their lives. When I was a child, my mother kidnapped my sister and I from our dad. She sold drugs out of her bedroom window, and eventually the Riverside Police Dept. Set up a raid. They did their homework! When they crawled through our window in the middle of the night, they knew our names, they made us crawl out and go sit in a police car, whole they apprehended our mother and her boyfriend. ( she blamed everything on him, and he got 25 years in prison, for that and ' other' much worse crimes- let's just leave it at that) she got off Scott free pretty much by going to rehab and becoming a Corrections Officer as her ' sentence'.

They beat the shit outta my mother that night.. And I can remember the officer in the car with us, radio'ing the guy inside to please close the door so we didn't have to see it. I was terrified of cops after that..( I was 8 when this happened), but when I got older, I realized that bat shit stupid crazy as my mother was, she brought that beating on herself. She didn't assault any if them but she sure wasn't going quietly.
Then I knew a police officer in college, who once almost arrested me for public indecency, and instead, made me take a class on tape and domestic violence. So I've gotten to see both sides of the record. And can tell you, I've inly seen a few of the bad guys.. And the good far outweigh them. Thank you Last 12 for recognizing this, and starting a thread that represents the majority of officers in the field!

I'm not saying that every police officer is correct. I'm hoping, though, that instead of trashing the very people that we hope to be protecting us, that we consider the few "bad apples" to be such as that. A few. It's not that we need to excuse bad decision making. It's also not that we need to slap that label on everyone.

Bravo to this (and wow to your family).

Wow, cop PR on the train...they need to hire another firm.
The story starts out....10 years ago....

The Hyundai looks like a 2002 so it's not every 10 years they do something good.

Do they keep a national database on incidents of cops doing good?

So what if it is 10 years ago? Cop haters will always find a way to hate. The point of the story went right over your head.

I'm sure JC can find a reason to hate this cop.

I wonder if that view might be akin to its own form of racism (for lack of a better term).

I think I've posted this before - when my mom was in labor with me, my dad was speeding hard as hell to get her to the hospital and got pulled over, around 5am. The officer gave them an escort with sirens and all, and this chick was born 30 minutes later.

Corruption is part of human nature, I think. Odds are that within any and all groups (however us birds choose to flock) that element will present itself, as will the decent ones.

You fuck up, pay the price. Doubt anyone would argue with that.

But I'll never look at any category (again, for lack of a better term) and see one shade.

Sometimes I feel a little jaded by all the tear jerker stories you hear but, damn- that's heavy. Got me choked up, for sure.

Indiana state highway patrolman Scott Patrick was killed in the line of duty in December of 2003. He was killed trying to assist a stranded motorist with a flat tire. The car was stolen. When Scott approached the motorist to see if he needed help, the man pulled out a gun and killed Officer Patrick instead of simply saying no thanks officer.

I went to school with officer Patrick. We were teammates on the football and wrestling teams throughout high school. I knew his younger brothers and sister.


Just read some of the comments on the link below to see what kind of man Officer Patrick was.

Why start another thread when one already exist here on AMT we/i don't hate cops I don't like bad cops very simple put the cops who kill without justification in jail ...

JC29856

My post had a wee bit of sarcasm in it.
I thought the thread title was kinda silly.
Where or who ever said all cops are evil?

Let's start threads...
Not all liars are politicians
Not all accountants are stiffs
Not all PJ fans are Sheldon Coopers

I didn't see the other thread when I created this one. It wasn't on the first page. That was the extent of my search.

You would only hope that there are some Good Law abiding decent Cops out there.
