Not to mention anyone with sympathy for their fellow man trying to pass a police “Psych test”  One would think they would be designed to get intelligent caring people to deal with the population.  Instead they want heartless non-sympathetic people who are just stupid enough to follow orders and not question the many ignorances in law.  Me and my brother both failed the psych test, it was frustrating and confusing.  After being declared a genius and never failing a test in my life I had to research what was so wrong with me that I couldnt perform police duty.  Turns out its for having too much sympathy/empathy and too high an IQ.  Go figure.

I know plenty cops, nearly every single one is a total prick.  Most of my EX-friends who became an arm of the system turned into egotistical dicks I no longer associate with.  I know a judge, 5 lawyers(ex friends as well), plenty of cops, and Ive been through the system, so I think I know a thing or two about the system.

Also, no I havent had “my ass saved by a cop”, I bet 99.9% of the population havent nor could they even relay a story from someone they directly know being saved by a cop.  IN FACT: there was a ruling that states police are not required to protect your life, its their supposed job, but not a job requirement.

  My grandfather lived and died never needing a cop once, fought in WWII and then in his later years was denied a gun purchase and the right to grow his own food in his yard. So the state sent out cops, fined him. Then mowed his crop down while he stood by protesting and holding back tears, and sent him a bill for $160 for the mow. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

The system is flawed, corrupt, and ridiculous there is no denying that.  You cant rule honest men with law, only criminals, so they make so many laws that anyone can be considered a criminals.  Then those laws are bent or “misinterpreted” to abuse the good honest people.

If there are good cops, they obviously arent NUMEROUS ENOUGH or GOOD ENOUGH to stop the rampant and blatant rights violations/criminal activity that goes on around them. 

“Put a good apple in a pile of rotten ones and it will quickly spoil, it doesnt make the rotten ones whole again.”

The police force breeds and hones well informed criminals just like prisons do.

Capt. Obvious to the rescue!

This guy doesnt obey the law.
This guy shouldnt have a job enforcing the law.
This guy shouldnt have a license.
This guy shouldnt have his freedom.

Any one of the above will ensure he is a continued detriment and strain on society.

I truly have little fear but If I had to list the order of worst fear to least it would go something like this.
1. Police
2. Street thugs
3. Jehovahs Witnesses at my door
4. My fiance on a bad week
5. A deadly fart in an enclosed space
6. Terrorists

A Thug can take your belongings, maybe even your life.
A Cop Thug can take your belongings, your life, shoot your dog and flash bang your daughter to death, and on top of all that give your family a bad name. If they dont just trump up some charge to put you in a living hell for the rest of your life.
A Jehovahs witness can waste your saturday afternoon. My fiance can throw things fast and yell with the best of them. Terrorists already have taken away our rights and freedoms, they also got you and grandma fondled and anally invaded at the airport….Not much left for them to do to us, that our own government hasnt already done in their name.

PS. Here a cop was found going 130+ no lights, drunk. He also smashed into to young girls 16 and 14 killing them both. He still works and was found “Guilty of no wrongdoing”

“Fuck the Police isnt just for anarchists or thugs anymore!”-Me

I WAS a “public employee”, and I busted my ass for 32 of my 33 years there. I saw DOZENS of fellow “unfirables” get fired, for on-site violence, showing up stoned, drug-dealing and whatever – Just like the saintly heroes out in the private sector. So Cram It, Teabagger.

I’ll tell you who DOESN’T get fired for incompetence or wrongdoing in the public and private herds – It’s the fucking managers and white collar clowns who have ass-kissed their way into somebody’s good graces and who maintain the status quo. THEY are the ones beyond the reach of punishment, and I’d bet that Saunders is as much under somebody’s sheltering wing as he was defended by a corrupt review board.

After all – Who do YOU think sees to it that a corrupt review board stays in place ? Dirtbags like Saunders ? Guess again, fool….

As for having one’s “ass saved by a cop”, this is pretty rare.
Most 911 calls by victims of violent crimes are not responded to rapidly enough to save anyone, just to clean up the mess and find someone to put in a corporate-cage over the matter.

Generally what a cop is good for is getting a piece of paper documenting a loss, or perhaps assisting in some form of societal retribution against those accused of breaking the law by those with enough money that the cop actually gives a fuck.

Of course, when mere citizens cover for thugs its called “unlawful gang activity” or “accessory to a felony after the fact” or some similar, and generally quite serious, crime.

But Police are always above the law in a Police State…

Muscle cars are the obvious example – Ford Mustangs and the like. They can be quite cheap – $25,000 range if not less – and are popular among the type of people who become police officers. Heck, many police forces use them as police cars even though literally any European performance car would run rings around them (but of course there are no turns in American roads).

Also, if he was driving back from Boulder or someplace closer to the mountains there are some rather long and straight downhill sections on the freeway such that even if your car can’t do 143 on a flat surface you could easily reach that speed if you were crazy and/or drunk enough not to notice your car exceeding its structural limits.

For example if we assume that “protective services” really means police and fire (it is not defined), based on the numbers provided it could be saying the complete opposite of what you think it is. For example, if 35% of “protective services” are police, and the rest are fire and other. If 98.6% of that 35% are unionized – i.e. 98.6% of police are in a union – that makes 34.5% of the total, and very few firemen and whatever else is included in that category are unionized.  

Probably not true, but without a better breakdown of the numbers you can’t draw any more narrow conclusions from that particular report :)

This man should be hailed as a national hero and a template on which to base all police training and hiring decisions!

(*gag* It hurt to type that.)

Sheesh. At least I can “rest assured.” Jim said so.

Healthy people don’t find normal human interaction to be psychologically grueling.

Actually, introverts do.
