Cops

Most cops in my opinion aren't bad blokes but I have met a few cops that are just arseholes . This copper pulled me over ,I asked what the problem was ,he said if the car that was in front of me wasn't there I would have been speeding . I said he was there and I wasn't speeding . The cop said what do you want a ticket for a bold tyre or for speeding , I was pissed off because I had neither . The bald tyre I didn't have was less points off my license so I excepted that.
 
Had five carloads of coppers follow us on the Odins Warriors Poker Run today ... really hope the pricks could smell the rib-fillet steaks they fed us at Forrest Hill pub cooking .. hope they were starving. Yet another complete waste of taxpayers money, not one ticket or infringement issued.

Didn't know about that run. Didn't do much today if I'd known I would have went.

I generally go right on by these "Cop" posts since I made my living in law enforcement for 32 years and have heard all of the stories about being screwed over by a bad cop whether I wanted to or not. This morning I have had a good breakfast and going for a ride later, so what the hell. In those fun filled years there are some memories that will keep on giving, a 18 month baby girl infected with gonorrhea from the new live in boy friend, an 84 year man starved to death in the basement by his drug dealing family, and a severely retarded five year old boy used as an ashtray from his loving parents. I have been retired now for 13 years but I am proud of the years I served and hopefully some of the lives I impacted in a good way and the drones that are still incarcerated and away from society where they belong because I did my job. In all professions there are individuals who through their work ethic or attitudes shouldn't be doing that particular thing for a living. Police officers are human beings and the last time I checked the species is certainly not perfect. For the most part they perform many thankless hours of service that is needed more than ever in the current times. Said my piece, now off to fire up the Rocket.........
 
Good on you for the job you did .. i wouldn't do it for all the money in the world. Afraid my experiences with Police have by-in-large not been good. They train cadets here in Queensland that if they stop a 'bikie looking' type ( tattoos , HD or British bike and generally untidy appearance) to " turn them upside down and shake them ... shake long and hard enough and something will drop" .. that was from a cop. Afraid I have been turned upside down too many times to respect the ' Police '. PS Britman hope you enjoyed your ride.
 

I have the same opinion. Cops are people, some good, some bad. My last experience with an officer was a positive one. Unfortunately some people who may have been bullied or made to feel powerless in their youth seek out positions of authority as adults. Wether it is a cop, prison guard or whatever. They are usually poor at their job trying to demand respect or fear. I know you Command respect, not demand it. Thankfully the percentage of people like this is small but it seems these people draw more attention then the people doing the right things.
The other percentage of people of felt powerless and fearful in their youth that don't obtain positions of authority go the peacock route. Instead of pretty feathers the try to look as intimidating as possible. They may get certain types of tattoos, piercings pump iron for size instead of strength. I am not saying this applies to all people but a few. Some people play on the "I hate cops" attitude because they want to perceived as tough or outlaws.

Just my opinions, I am probably wrong.

I give you props for your years of service.
 
Britman overall we do care about our cops over here ,what I said was the exception ,last year we had one of our police officers shot and killed while he was doing his job .he had a wife and two little children . Thousands of people turned out for his funeral ,then the community raised over a million dollars for the family .we do care
 

**** shame. I thought guns were all confiscated there. Unfortunately it sounds like they missed one.

There may be some bad ones out there, just like any other group. But by and large, they can't pay those guys enough for the risks they take.
 
I just don't get why we should be expected to give more credit to a cop behaving decently than we do to anyone else.

We've all got good stories about cops but in reality they don't portray exceptional behaviour; just guys doing their jobs the way they are meant to be done. People chose to be cops and everyone knows that comes with some unpleasant duties and danger. If you don't want to be exposed to that, don't be a cop. Cops haven't been given power, they've been given authority. Problem is too many of them don't see it that way.
