Cops need to control their Strength more

[The Showstoppa]

would you be singing the same tune if a group of cops surrounded and electrocuted your grandmother for walking around at 3am with dementia?

How often does that happen?   Not saying it doesnt but its not a regular occurence.

i wish i had a pound for every time that happened

the menace of cops electrocuting grandmothers at 3am must be dealt with

before there are no grandmothers left to wander the streets at 3am

I don't really get all the cop hate, which has always seemed to be the consensus here. Is it based on personal experience or on the anecdotal YouTube videos and newspaper articles? Obviously not saying there aren't corrupt chumps on the force, but is this the guy you usually run into in real life? The animosity just seems to be a bit overwhelming.

Over the years, I have been arrested numerous times for various drunken misdemeanors, shit I'm certainly not proud of today. But I was never mistreated or disrespected at any time, even when I was being an obnoxious asshole. I've dealt with city police, sheriffs, and highway patrol, and they've always treated me decently, even giving me extra blankets, or extra food, or allowing me to call someone to pick up my car so it wouldn't have to be impounded, stuff they certainly weren't obligated to do. The only bad thing they ever did was arrest me, which I totally deserved. Just doing their job. Different cities, counties, several different states, always treated fairly.

Shit, nowadays, on the rare occasion I get pulled over or something, they almost always cut me loose without citing me for anything, just warnings. I'm polite, they're polite, they move on. I can remember maybe one or two clowns over the years who possibly overstepped their authority just to fuck with me. But even then, their partners or sergeants would be decent and even things out.

So tell me, what are you guys experiencing out there to make you hate them so much? Hell, maybe I've just been lucky, I don't know. I'm genuinely confused here.  

      

Its definitely a fine line. I have never been arrested for anything. However, when I have been pulled over for traffic violations, I always respected the officer. I have never experienced police brutality. Similarly, when walking around the street, I pass by cops who never stop me or anything.

grandmas are dangerous, can't have them reigning terror on the public so these electrocutions are necessary folks.

Some people join the police force to troll, I'm positive of it. I remember when I was a 14 year old skateboarder, skating some school stairs on Christmas eve. So the fat prick physically forces me into the police car using my head as a battering ram before he can even give me a chance to go with them peacefully. They proceeded to drive me and a friend around our local town for 30 minutes on some weird mind fuck, saying we wouldn't be going home for Christmas/we were going to turn out like Tdongz and that they were going to make sure shit got serious enough to fuck us up for a long time (our eyes were rolling  )...then the fuckers drove us about 4 miles from either of our houses (after asking us where we lived)and just dumped us there. The cops in Superbad had more merit than those pair I swear it

you get the cops you deserve in society

we live in a society where everyone wants their rights protected

they want to be able to do what ever they want

but on the other side when someone wrongs them they jump up and down if there is inaction

people that think they can do a better job than the cops do

are the same people who wouldnt have the balls to do the job

And 90% of the time they always have a personal story of how they were wronged. Never mind they were actually breaking the law, they focus on how the cops had something better to do, etc...

[thebrink]

they are not police anymore they are now militarized.

this is the problem.

If my aunt had balls, would she be my uncle? I really need to address extreme hypotheticals?

The exception I'll make is for the deputies at LA County Men's Central Jail. They were almost all badge-heavy pricks, who seemed to get off on it. I forgot about them. I know they deal with mostly assholes all day, but they should have been above that. I think it's a bad idea that they are required to serve x amount of years behind bars, because they become super jaded before they even hit the street.  

brink, if these were the guys I'd encountered on the street back when, then yeah, I'd be singing a different tune.

yup, they should be held to a higher accountability not the opposite which seems to be norm.

remember folks, go straight home from work, get all your news from the internet, keep enough food in your pantry to last you the winter and  oh yeah please don't go out after dark and we won't have to hurt you, cheers

Exactly!!  People have been brainwashed into believing that cops are this supreme force that you need to kneel down and beg for mercy in their presence.  Bullshit!!  THEY WORK FOR YOU DUMMY!!!!  When pigs stopped even pretending to be "officers of the peace" and full on became "law enforcement", that should have told everyone what the deal was.  They are paid thugs with badges.  If you get out of line, they fuck you up the ass promptly and viciously.  It reminds me of Saddam Hussein and how he dominated the sand neegars in Iraq.  As long as you did EXACTLY what you were told and never spoke up, disagreed, or made an honest mistake, he wouldn't "have to" punish you.  They brainwash you into thinking you are at fault for the punishment even though you did nothing.  I will use my classic example:  While driving around doing nothing at all illegal you see a cop in your rearview mirror - do you feel safe and protected or nervous?  Think about it.

I knew it wouldn't go over well. I should have just lied and said they kicked my ass.

[doriancutlerman]

And the cop will keep his job... Law enforcement attracts some of the worst types of people, criminals and psychopaths mostly. If you really wanted to help people, you'd be in the medical field or in social services.

I'm sure it wasn't the first by any means, but "A Clockwork Orange" nailed this back in about 1972.  I've known a lot of cops.  I'd say about a quarter were outstanding people.  50% just mindlessly did their job, but the LCD 25% ... oh, boy.  They were the biggest bullies and assholes who grew up just aching to do legally what they otherwise did illegally as kids and teenagers:  beating people up, stealing their stuff, all but abusing women, etc.

/\Truth.

 Most people interactions with police are just like yours or even more mundane.  

There are alot of paranoid delusions about cops. Alot of psuedo-lawyers who think they know the law, but in reality they don't know shit, which only feeds the paranoia about "police brutality" "police state" etc etc. The truth is cops are just municipal employees, city employees. Now in particular where everyone is a "special little snowflake" and NOBODY takes responsibilty for their actions it is very popular to question and criticize police. Media loves to feed on this paranoia too.

Because police aren't necessarily in the business of cutting breaks they always come off as dicks, even when professionaly doing their job. Even when the majority of peoples interactions with cops is when they are pulled over for something they actually did wrong and still get a break. So people personalize it nobody ever says "I was late to work today and flying down the freeway and I was pulled over".... fuck no, its more like "I was late for work today because this dickhead cop pulled me over." Its never "I was pulled over for speeding" it's always "I was pulled over because I'm black" or "I'm hispanic in a white neighborhood" or "I drive an expensive car" or whatever makes you a special little snowflake.

LOL...this type of shit is exactly what Im addressing. You're not even thinking about what you're saying. Just talking trash because by and large you are on a forum that will support your viewpoint and not challenge your drivel.

In 2013 Overall line of duty deaths are down 13%, while gunfire or 'execution' deaths as you so delicately put it are down 24%.
