Damn right. They were hot and looking for a guy who shot a cop. I’m lucky I was not shot. Probably would have been if I had not done everything exactly right.

Your first thought better always be how to stay alive and never give them any ****

If you’re smart you act a certain way, survive and take it up with lawyers later. If you’re stupid you act a different way and you die. Then your relatives get lawyers and take it up without you.

In the video you posted I would have gotten a ticket 45 minutes earlier and be sent on my way as opposed to being eaten by the dog. Either way the cops are not going to be in any trouble and there’s nothing you can do about it.

It really says a lot when you see nothing wrong with police, who swore to uphold the Constitution, to engage in thuggery on civilians.

Too bad the homeowner didn’t have a couple of pit bulls. I remember when this happened and thinking he was lucky he wasn’t shot and that he’d be fired. What a bunch of ridiculous BS this is. He should have been canned. Had that been you or I, we’d be trying to figure out prison life right now

You really do have a reading comprehension problem. Me surviving a bad situation and telling others to do the same so they can take it up with lawyers clearly means I “see nothing wrong”
Again there’s a big difference in discussion on how things should be and how they are.

I clearly understand the distinction between how things should be and how they are.

Let's strive to make the situation how it should be, not resign ourselves to the idea that cops are going to beat the life out of you and not uphold their oath.

Ever thought about being a cop, Ras?

Be the change you want to see in the world.

And let’s not pretend that your behavior doesn’t change the results during the time you struggle for change

I already have my career. This isn't about me anyways. Its about the cops. Stop deflecting where the blame and the responsibility should actually go to. Change has to come from the inside. If they see no need or desire to change themselves, it will matter very little what one individual does.

Example...
How I Survived for 3 Years as a Libertarian Cop

One night I was called into the Lieutenant’s office. I had no idea why. I had a good reputation and kept to myself. When I asked the Lieutenant what he needed he said he wanted to talk to me about the amount of tickets (speeding and other moving infractions) I had been giving out. I told him I had never given out a ticket but gave plenty of warnings (warnings were not logged in and went into the trash). He asked me why I hadn’t given out any tickets. I told him I was an arrest guy. Quality arrests were my specialty. He said that was no answer.
Click to expand...

I then told the Lieutenant that I didn’t even know how to fill out a ticket properly. In fact in my 20 year career I had never written a speeding ticket. He didn’t care about all of my arrests and my quality of work. He wanted revenue. He immediately changed my shift to the day tour and assigned a Sergeant to watch over me. I didn’t stay long after that. I never wrote a ticket. I never made a drug arrest. I honorably resigned.

An incidental anecdote does not reflect anything except the incident it is relating.

No one said it was about you, however, you feel free to criticize everything law enforcement related and have done nothing to find out what it's like to do the job or change those things about it that you don't like. If I were to use your posting example as an anecdote, I would conclude that you are a whiner with no inclination to effect the change you apparently want other than to post on a fan based message board. Whoopeedoo.

Be the change you want to see in the world and Merry Christmas to you.

What the hell are you talking about? This is a sports messageboard... yet I'm sure 95% of the people here have never coached a football or basketball game in their lives, yet they are free to comment and have their takes.

Again, this isn't about me. This is about the cops... and to a greater extent the lawmakers, judges and sheeple that empower them to be highwaymen, revenuers and thugs.

Merry Christmas

Lol. Lets flesh this bs story out. Ok, so he never wrote a ticket for a moving violation... cool, stupid, but whatever. Never made a dope arrest and he’s all about the “quality” arrest. Pray tell how one makes a quality arrest of offenders without one, just one, having a sack of heroin in their pocket? This guy was a 20 year do nothing who should’ve been booted in probation. If this is what you see as an honorable cop then I hope to never live in your world.

Are you really that dense? There probably were people he arrested that had dope on them, but his purpose for arresting whoever did not revolve around drugs/contraband.

And lol at you mad at him for not writing tix.

He was essentially the exact same thing you seem to vilify on here. He was jury and judge as well. As a matter of fact, he was worse because he set out to ignore the parts of the law he 'felt' were wrong. He was the worst kind of LEO.
