criminal are out there that is the reason we have police officers. if your nerves are not steady enough to follow procedures in an uncomfortable situation you shouldnt be a cop. nobody made you join the force. no one mislead police officers into thinking this was a easy job. if you cant handle the job then you are a liability to the public and you should resign and get a safer job! being so scared of criminals that you react in a policy violating manner does not excuse you. these officers are bums that have a chip on their shoulder with society and get a job as a pig in order to flex a little authority they dont have in their home lives. i think police should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law when they MURDER people. maybe that will filter out the ignorant loser drug dealing sexual assualting evidence losing(stealing) and shine a spotlight on the police officers that are born and raised to do this job. true heroes of society. I hate cops with every ounce of my soul because of bad experiences with them. i have never felt protected by police i have been harrassed at least 20 times in my life disrespected in front of my family and insulted by pigs when no one was around to hear.

ARKANSAS YANKEE: I wasn't getting on you at all. It seems to me that military, combat and police are very unsuitable for women. Truck drivers say to women...go home, change diapers and wash dishes...hahaah I told them Mopping makes my back hurt, washing dishes ruins my nails and ironing puts callouses on my hands...don't have a baby....THAT'S WHY I DRIVE A BIG TRUCK. HAHAHAH All it is is a pick up and delivery job lol ...do you know HOT FLASH in the PGR?

BUTCH...I didn't intentionally AVOID anything. Bad cops are the exception, not the rule. Cops still don't need to be intimidated into not doing their job for fear of going to jail for life. I would hate for my life to be at stake and be afraid to defend myself because cops are assumed to be trigger happy. They go on multiple calls a day where more than two men are armed and step out of their cars. They must have nerves of iron. I NEVER DID GET the knack for running two sets of logs...just pulled off and waited if they were checking log books hahahah...and after I quit driving I went to FL a lot...drove down on Friday and back on Sunday...called that my EAST COAST TURNAROUND. While driving a truck, I felt like the 10 hr. limit was stupid because if I could do more and not even drink coffee or take drugs, it couldn't be that hard...After all, coast to coast driving 14 hrs a day then being down for unloading and reloading then driving again a couple of days at 14 hrs. seems reasonable to me. And yes, I have driven 22 hrs at a time, not very often...didn't like it...16 is my limit safely beginning about 4 a.m..

thaone, you dont even need a GED or high school diploma to be a thug. Guess that makes the cops a tad smarter huh? You say the police cant kill people at will, I would agree. But people cant try to run the police down at will either. People cant point a gun at a cop (or anyone else) at will either. People arent suppose to rob and kill store clerks either. Get where I'm going with this? Sell the pity BS for someone that cares.

Just bein' funny pat; I'm not really a MCP - I'll open doors for women, let them go ahead of me in line, and address them in terms of respect; way I was brought up. Butch is right of course; many think they are above the law; my ex brother-in-law in Phoenix never drove the speed limit when he was off duty. And my younger brother was an MP; he told me some of his buddies would take weed from dependents and military, then let them go, and the MP's would keep the weed for themselves. But there are good ones' out there too Butch; like the motorcycle officer in Tucson that stopped me while smoking a joint; he knew I was burning one, but chose to ignore it, and gave me a warning for expired tags and let me go on my way. Same with an El Paso, TX officer at a license and insurance checkpoint. I had just lit one up, and went around a corner in a residential area, and there they were! I put the j in my mouth and started chewing. Yes, it burned. Car filled with smoke; rolled the window down, he looked at me, told me to go on my way. itsjustme; You are so right! Maybe it's time we enacted laws making the people that breed criminals pay for their stays at our expense. Sounds like a good idea to me! And for those that committed crimes against people; let the money that goes on their books, or the money they earn while in there, go towards their victims or the victims families. Not a bad idea at all!
