Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

that is sad but ---- the police at least 30% of them are crooked and unfair

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

I'd imagine that you have done a lot of field research in order to have such specific data on police corruption... judging by your screen name you are probably a little biased on police action.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

that was my old stomping grounds.Its sad that ---- like that is still going on down there :'(.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

Cops get a lot of ---- for writing tickets and what not, but when you think about it they're there when we need them.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

----, cops do get shot I mean it's practically part of their job; what makes this one circumstance national news?

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

---- that... at least 90% of cops are crooked. they are a bunch of race profiling ------- pieces of ----. maybe they arent racist, but most cops profile people by race. i have been EXTREMELY harassed, and almost killed MANY times by crooked cops. i dont dress like a gang member, actually i dress very professional, even when i was in high school. maybe in middle america or the east coast, cops are cool, but in the nevada/california they are not. apparently out here if you are not white you need to stay the ---- indoors, and even then you are not safe(------- ------- cops with assault rifles kicked down my friends door, had us all laying face down on the floor with guns pointed at us, and said not to move or else). they tore his house apart looking for drugs/guns(which we NEVER had), and didnt even apologize. one of my buddies got the ---- beat out of him by a crooked as cop with a nightstick. the cop kept yelling out "stop struggling" in case anybody was looking. even when im just moving, cops come with weapons drawn because only white people are allowed to move furniture without being thieves. even when i get stopped in traffic for "speeding" i get asked to lift my shirt to check for gang tattoos. the only cop that i ever dealt with that wasn't a crooked piece of ---- wrote me a ticket for $1000 for being at the street races.

cops are NEVER there when I need them. when i call the cops when im getting robbed they dont do ----. they dont come out and investigate. they just tell me to fill out a ------- report. any time i have ever NEEDED help from a cop, i dont get ----.

btw, no i am not black. i am italian/filipino mix but if you see me in real life i look 100% mexican, and most of my friends are mexicans or filipinos. im just sick of crooked ass cops.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

::)

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

^^^^^^^
---- you.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

------- cops ---- with white people too

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

sorry about the "---- you" remark, but that ---- is my real life experience. i dont make this ---- up, and i could write a ------- book on my experiences with crooked cops.

i know cops ---- with white people too, but not NEARLY as bad as other races.

anyways... ---- it, i was just trying to make a point that cops out here are crooked.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

I dont give a ---- who cops ---- with, they don't deserve to be shot.

At the very least, and I myself feel as though I am insulting cops by bringing it down to this level; At the very least, it is their job. They wake up in the morning, just like we all do, and go to work. They may even kiss their wives and children goodybye (refer to the other thread about getting married). But they get up just like we all do and go to work to make the money to afford to live, just like we all do. I am not a cop, and I have been busted a number of times, but there is absolutely no reason to trivialize what cops do or the situations that they have to deal with. At the very least you can think about it this way; would you put yourself out on the street, with the risk of being shot, or if nothing else, seeing all of the horrible things that people can do to one another, every day, seeing the worst that people can do?

I dont want to do it, and I can gaurantee that the people bitching about cops dont want to do it. I bet that the people who are bitching about cops wouldnt want to walk up along side of a car full of people who may be carrying and may be in the mood to fire off a couple of rounds for no other reason than they have rounds to fire off.


Its like the whole grabage man argument. Never diss the garbage man, because if you piss him off enough, you will all be swimming in ----. Love or hate cops, dont ------- shoot them .

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

chill out on the steroids dude

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

Seriously though, cops do get shot... crooked or not.. i dont think this country is in good shape with the way people act these days. Everything is so drastic cuz people think they cant make things better. But i dont see why this thread made it into the forum..

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

were in alot better shape than 99% of the world

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

i dont do drugs. i just dont appreciate you belittling my personal experiences like that. i was only trying to make a point that cops are crooked, backing up erollinablunt. i dont know you, and you dont know me. sorry if i seem angry, but when you put smileys rolling their eyes at my post, i take that as an insult. the only thing i can do to retaliate against your insult is say ---- you, because we will most likely never meet to argue in person.

by the way, i am sure there are alot of good cops out there who do their best to make our world a better place, but there are many that this world would be better without. i didnt mean to sidetrack this thread, i just meant to back up erollinablunt because i have the same views on police.

im sorry but i could really care less about this story. if it makes you feel any better the guy who shot the cop got caught. death is just a risk you take when you are a cop. please continue posting about how sad you all are that a cop died...

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

i'm white as hell and have been fucked with the by the cops more than i care to remember, i've been pepper sprayed numerous times, hog tied with rope, my head banged on the hood of a cruiser, thrown on concrete, etc., etc., and i use to always think it was unfair and it was the cops fault, but now that i'm more mature and don't do things i use to do, i realize it was just the situations i put myself in and how i reacted to authority in those situations.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

I hate everybody equally.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

Exactly. He's still a human ------- being. They have families and ---- just like us. How can you not have any sympathy for another human being dieing? He was doing his ------- job. It's not like he was just hunting down crackheads for shooting practice or something, although I think that is a very good idea.

I have been through the same ---- you people have. I was a felon before I was a teenager. I spent my fair share of time in jail and have been arrested more times than I can count, but I still don't wish death upon them for doing a job. Just think about how fucked up the world would be without them. Without them, I could kick your front door in, put a bullet in your head, ---- your mom in front of your sister, curb stomp your dad, and kick your dog in the head. Who is going to stop me? :-\ If they need to be a little harsh at times to get a point across and to stop a few shitbags from doing stupid ----, then so be it.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

Are you saying what i do every saturday is against the law? ;)

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

cops here are unfair.. i dunno about you guys. my friend got pulled over for something stupid but it was cuz he was black and was rolling in a park ave... he probably thought it was stolen... he said he's gotten pulled over 2 times for stupid ---- like.. his dome light was on, but it wasn't, he had a tail-light out but when they checked it, it wasn't ::) also some asians were folled at 11 at night by a cop cuz the cop EVEN SAID that they were following them for 9-10 blocks cuz it was 4 asians in an integra all riced out so they thought something was up. the cop got suspended for that. i know that a lot of them aren't like that but some are.. from what i've heard and experiences, they are.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

I wonder why they would be suspicious of an import full of kids cruising around at 11pm? ???

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

you guys bitch and complain but these stereotypes are formed for a reason because ---- like that happens all the time For instance im white but i deliver pizza's in the worst neighborhood in tampa ive been pulled over 3 times in the two weeks ive worked there because im white and im in a very bad area late at night. they pulled me over every time to have a dog search my car for drugs because 99 percent of the white people that ride through that area are buying crack or cocaine the other 1 percent are lost. I dont like it its a pain in the ass but i understand why they do it. i dont condone the harassment because alot of times they take stuff to far but they are just doing their jobs give em a break

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

cracker

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

look in the mirror bitch

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

everyone has a valid argument but I think whomever does not like cops obviously has no idea what its like to be a cop.

But like someone already stated, it's part of their job and part of it is to have people calling them crooked and racist.

And as for the "regular" people who get pulled over constantly and what not. It's part of your life because
1. Your not a cop
and
2. Because you're not a cop

There are so many issues I can get into but I wont because it'll all be opinions. Let's stick to cars.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

and ----- ;)

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

Disclaimer: I by no means condone police corruption.
OK, now that I've got that out of the way, consider how dificult it is for cops to keep out trouble. A person tends to take on the characteristics of those whom he surrounds himself with. For example, psychologist have often got more issues than the people they help. They spend all their time with people that have psychological problems, so it follows that they will pick up a lot of these problems themselves.
Cops spend all their time with criminals, so it follows that they often pick up some criminal behavior as well.

Furthermore, cops are part of the executive branch of the government. In other words, they are required to make judgement calls as to what civil or criminal offenses should be prosecuted and which should not. For example, say a cop pulls you over for doing 85 in the 65, but he only writes you up for 75 he is using his discretion. The basis for that decision is composed of his moral values, his personal experiences etc. etc. Fact of the matter is that applied ethical decisions like that are very difficult for people to make, and being human, cops are prone to make mistakes. Throw in lots of on the job stress and mistakes become more and more common.

Like I said, corruption is not justified, but put yourself in someone else's shoes before you make a judgement call.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

Now, I'm not saying he deserved to be shot.. he didnt. But I was WITNESS to racial profiling. Here in Toronto a friend, his friend (the cop, on duty) and I were just chatting in a parking lot when a lone black man minding his own business was walking through the parking lot. The cop said haha, watch this, and went over and searched the guy, gave him a hard time for nothing. The cop came back over later and laughed about it... needless to say. I left right then. what a dick... it DOES exist.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

when I hear the word cops I get angry!!! >:( >:( >:(

I dont know man... I think the ticket writers suck ----. but the ones that actually help you out are ok.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

I think this is funny. My father is a cop. He been one for 10 years and I've learned alot from what ---- he goes through. realize that his ass is on the line every day. And most cops aren't crooked. All that giving a ticket thing my father said is pointless. He said the ones who give you tickets are the rookies. Cops go by a certain procedure because they have to man. There alot of people who hate cops even when they are trying to help you. And I'm not sure what part of area you are at but the race thing with cops is kinda annoying now. It could be diffrent with you but i get respect from white cops. They know my dad but if i speed they still give me a ticket. They are just doing there job you should put yourself in there shoes and see what they go through. ::)

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

This ---- is upsetting. 2 of my best friends are PA state cops. Cops pull over people at 11 at night in modified cars because if people didn't do illegal ---- like racing and speeding, they wouldn't need to. Not saying every modified civic is a racer, but they have to assume.

Cops aren't assholes, on average. There are some, that's true, but saying X% of the police department is corrupt is a poor assumption to make. Many are hard working people, just like me and you.

When someone holds up a liquor store, who has to go find them and arrest them, knowing they're armed? Cops. Let me ask you, would you chase someone who's firing a gun at you, in order to protect the law?

Just make sure you think before you call cops assholes. You earned your ticket, just shut the ---- up and pay it.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

^^^^
i did earn my ticket, and i paid it. this was like 3 years ago. if you read more carefully i said that the cop that wrote me the ticket was the only honest cop i have ever met. i could tell he was a good person. however i couldnt care less if most of the other cops that i have met died in the line of duty. there is no reason for other cops i have met to threaten my life, especially when i didnt do anything wrong in those situations and i tried my best to be polite to them.


maybe on average cops aren't assholes... but all of them except one that i have met are :-\. many cops dont deserve to be shot, but i can understand why someone would want to shoot them :-X. i guess maybe im guilty of profiling cops the same way they profile me.

Re:COP SHOT DEAD
 

Honestly, yes. Not to discredit your point because I fully agree with you. ;)
