What they give me, yes. What they give other people....that depends. They don't give me enough tickets since I break the law everyday, as does every driver. I don't want the tickets, but they'd have the right to do that. When I grew up, I had a black/white used police car that got me in a lot of trouble. I know they can harass people if they want, but they tend/try to harass the criminal element.

    Not any more. There’s a reason why cops are acting crazy and the Government highers the lower IQ and battle hardened ones. It’s because they will follow orders to the letter and aren’t above breaking the law if needed. We only have ourselves to blame, we are happy it’s being done to that person or that minority or that poor person but don’t think that it could happen to us. Do you actually think that they want to keep rousting minorities and poor people all day, no. They want to go after people they are jealous of and that is guys that have the pretty wife, guys that are successful, guys that are living a life they wan’t but don’t have. And the only way they can get it is to get you the father or boyfriend out of the way and then swoop in and take what used to be yours. And that is the mentality believe it or not of alot of these individuals joining the police today. They had no power and now they have power over the people that used to “lord” over them.

    We will be living with the consequences of our inaction and stupidity for a long time and will be apologizing to the world and each other for just as long. I remember seeing a PBS program about the Holocaust ten years ago. At one of the concentration camps outside of the local town, they where burying the victims from the Nazi regime in a mass grave and while they where doing it the americans had the local leaders from the town like the mayor and such come out and stand at attention everyday during th...

At one of the concentration camps outside of the local town, they where burying the victims from the Nazi regime in a mass grave and while they where doing it the americans had the local leaders from the town like the mayor and such come out and stand at attention everyday during the process to watch the burials. I saw this and I wondered what was going through those town leaders heads, was it that they had hatred for losing to the rest of the world and this was victors justice. There may have been some of that but I don’t think it was for the majority. I think what was in their heads and feelings was shame, shame and anger at themselves at what they allowed to grow and fester in their country. And shame that everybody across the planet knows that they failed in stopping this from their own countrymen.

    I hope history doesn’t repeat itself, I truly do, because we one day may be the ones looking down into a pit and wondering how all of this came about.

    As a cop I try to give everyone a fair chance. I listen to what they have to say and go from there. But sometimes people make it really hard not to be an asshole about things. Hopefully the ones will learn you reap what you sew.
  • raves     [-] by johnboy
    as someone who has been pulled over many times, i always try to be respectful to police officers, but sometimes they have an attitude, you cant deal with @ss cop.
  • raves     [-] by ducdodger
    And it's hard to deal with someone being an ass to me because they got caught. The way I look at you should act the way you want to be treated.
  • raves +1   [-] by Ripped1x
    You sir should take your own advise and not start off your reply to someone because you don't agree with their opinion by calling them an idiot as you did with J Nash below, just an observation.

    I think they pick and choose who they want to help. Most cop can not keep there family togathers. We all brake the law speeding or what ever . when you only see people of color being arrested on tv it make you think.
  • raves   -2 [-] by ducdodger
    Nash your an idiot period. I've been a cop since 1984 and been married for twenty years. And I have to say that the guys I work with don't care what race, sex of sexual preference you are if you break the law your gonna get what ever the law decides no more no less. I get so sick and tired of hearing its a race thing. here's an example of someone playing the race card with me. It was about 12:30 am and I'm running radar on a dark road when I checked a cars speed at 95 mph. I pull him over and he starts screaming I only pulled him over cause he's black. Well I ask him to step out of the car and ask him to tell me the race of the driver's of the next 3 cars that went by. Of course he couldn't because as he said "I can't it too dark and they're going too fast." So I asked him how he figured that I could see him through his tinted windows and going as fast as he was. He couldn't answer. So you tell me who was being racist me or the black guy.

    I have been given only one ticket and I didn't think it was fair. I got pulled over for a tail light that was out and when I was getting my proof of insurance and my registration out of the glove box he noticed a pack of cigerettes. I went on a road trip with my husband (then he was my boyfriend), my brother, and my cousin. My cousin smokes (I didn't let him smoke in my car) and at some point he put a pack in the glove box and forgot about it. I got into trouble for it and it was about 2 weeks before my 19th bday. I didn't have to pay i tthough

    Much more often then not. You will find People in every walk of life who are mean, dishonest, angry or nuts. Why would anyone think law enforcement is any different. They are humans not programmed robots.

    How do they know who the criminal element is? It sounds like profiling to me .

    Usually...but it helps to know all your rights. Cops are not trying to help you out even if they tell you so.

    I think a lot of them abuse their power. They let the power get to their head and they want to use their power to the fullest.

  • raves +2   [-] by Fef
    i've seen your previous comments and read about the harassment you received from the police. Thanks for still knowing that they try to do the right thing and overall act fairly. Good man.
