Ever notice, the biggest pricks are the ones who think everybody else is the asshole?
I'm personally as guilty, just an observation.. |

When I was a kid....we had "Officer Friendly" who was usually a retired cop that drove a special decked out police cruiser and came to the elementary schools and educated the kids on what an officer DOES and how he used the equipment he had.
It seemed to do a great job of relating officers and respect for them as human beings to (most of) us. I know that I personally got a lot out of it, and viewed them as just PEOPLE doing a job. Funding cutback axed that program in the 90’s NOW….you have kids hearing PO-PO and 5-0 and pig from adults, who are very much more perceptive than many adults give them credit for. A kid picks up EVERYTHING…including bad attitudes from their surroundings. Not saying that the funding cuts had anything to do with the change…just recalling how we (as kids) viewed police back in the day. With a smile and a wave….sort of like getting the truckers to blow their horns. Now all the kids have their face buried in their PSP or mindlessly watching the DVD on the in-car movie system to care about a truck horn, and cops are seen as the enemy ![]()

You've got to earn respect, and you can't do that with a taser or treating people like dogs. Quote:
I think you would fit in great in China, their police have a lot of power.

There is a lack of respect in society today.
But police have not done much to help their 'case' along. Police corruption, cover ups, etc etc take a long time to forget. They're not to be trusted imo. ![]() ![]() |

I don't enjoy a traffic ticket anymore than anyone else, BUT, I also don't fault the Cops in the least when I get them. Fact is, the law is the law - the speed limit is the speed limit, the red light is the red light, etc... We all know full well when we're breaking traffic laws, but because we get away with it 99.99999999999999% of the time, we continue to do it, daily. But then the one time we get pulled over for it, it's somehow the Cop's fault, for being stupid, or a jerk, or whatever? Nuh uh.... I take full responsibility for the tickets I've earned. ![]() I agree there are bigger fish to fry, so to speak, but the fact remains, we make the CHOICE to do that 55 in a 45, etc.... and once in a while, we might get caught. ![]() |

i'll agree they are not trustworthy but does that mean it's ok to shoot or kill them?
