40K cops were just in NYC. Not one of the could take the time to speak out about this?

The police commissioner spoke about it. How hard is it to look these things up? If your going to try and stir up off topic conversations at least start it off with facts.

Did I say Cop or Police Commissioner? If you are going to stir things up how hard is it for you to read my post?

If 40K Cops can take the time and our tax dollars to speak out about these Cops death they need to speak out about the corruption and abuse of power in their ranks.

Are you insinuating that all cops are bad? We have good cops and bad cops. I'd be willing to bet we have many more good cops than bad. I understand your point....but too many on here paint with broad strokes.

Maybe some of the people that are rioting and protesting about the corruption and power in the police ranks should talk about the good that they do, too? It goes both ways. Everybody wants the cops to all hang their heads when one bad cop does something wrong...but why doesn't everybody stand up and pat them on the back every time they do something good? Are there problems out there? Yes. Are there some bad cops out there? yes. but why paint all the cops as killers and haters when the vast majority of them are out there wanting to protect us?


By the way...105 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in 2013.

I will do my best to honestly answer the questions I feel where directed at me.

1. Do I think all Cops are bad?

I find this line of questioning to be most un-useful to the national dialogue. I'm sure there were many fine fellows who were Nazi's during The Third Reich. Colonel Von Stauffenberg and many others even tried to kill Hitler. However this doesn't make them any less guilty by association.

So like wise no I do not think all Cops are "Bad". I will think all Cops are guilty by association until they learn to eat their own very publicly like the Military and don't go around killing people who do not "stop resisting" or "respect my authority". If RICO charges are good enough for civilians they are good enough for Cops.

2. Why doesn't everybody stand up and pat them on the back every time they do something good?

Are you f'in kidding me? Turn on a TV, go to a bar, a sporting event etc. Cops are constantly getting sucked off. We treat our police like they cured cancer or invented a time machine.

3. Why paint all the cops as killers and haters when the vast majority of them are out there wanting to protect us?

Protect us? Dude The SCOTUS ruled Police have none, zero, zip responsibility to protect us. Go on Facebook and read the forum Survive The Streets or Policeone.com and tell me Cops give 2 shits about protecting anyone. All I read is "Us vs Them" and "whatever I have to do to make it home".


By the way...The FBI cataloged all but about 30 of those deaths the fault of the cop who died. Mostly car accidents.

And Cop / LEO doesn't even crack the top ten of dangerous jobs.

Had one of my wife's cousins(former cop) tell me "we're a more organized gang with the law on our side". I don't lump all cops in with this statement but I have seen some that fit that description.

You sit here and shite on the police, yet if you get robbed or in a car accident I guarantee you will call 911. So would every one of those idiot police protestors in Missouri and NYC.

These people put their lives on the line for the safety of the public, and this country is full of ungrateful douchebags. Are there some corrupt police? Sure there are. But they're good for the most part and they will protect people like you even if you openly mock them.

Police are our street soldiers that put their asses on the line every day. I know a lot from different levels. I view it the same as our military. If you cannot stand behind them, feel free to stand in front of them!

GO DAWGS!

What other option do you have? Doesn't mean that we can't criticize them and demand better of them than the corruptness that they have shown in many different cases.

If you don't appreciate the police, don't call them when your arse gets robbed.
