cops suck and deserve anything bad that happens to them
yet when your house is being broken into or you are being robbed at gunpoint - they are the first people that you call.
I am defensive about cops - sure there are bad ones - but your comment was pure bullshit.
Cops do not deserve anything bad that happens to them. they don't deserve to be shot when making a simple traffic stop. They don;t deserve the be shot and killed (like a very good friend of mine) when responding to a domestic disturbance because a woman was getting the crap beaten out of her and they damn sure do not deserve to have a comment like that made.

....Sounds like you needed to be pulled over by the grammar police instead. I have no idea what you just said, but from what I gathered a cop pulled someone over and then shot a deer and I think that's hilarious!

If I’m being robbed at gunpoint, they aren’t going to be around to help me. In fact, courts have ruled time and again that the police do not (and generally will not) have to risk their life to save yours. They will stay in relative safety and count the bodies when the shooting stops.
I’ll call them afterward because my insurance requires a police report if I want to be compensated for the loss. But let’s not enter the realm of fantasy land where they are actually going to risk life and limb for me or my property or I am quivering in my boots waiting for LEO to arrive to rescue me.
I remember when my house and my neighbors house got robbed, we called the cops and they never found the guy, I remember when I got jumped and I went to cops and told them who did it and where they hung out, did they ever do anything...? nope. fuck the police, the times they do anything good are few and far between. This kid I used to buy herb from in HS became a cop and just the other day he busted one of my friends for possession.

I ought to know better on here then to get defensive because the majority of Inforooster thinks that cops are the bad guys and are lazy, fat, stupid and won't do anything to protect you - that's fine - live in your fantasy world. I know the cops - I'm friends with the cops - and there are a few bad ones. Just like lawyers - a few bad ones that make everyone hate them.
My friend Brian stayed in relative safety, huh? when he went to the door because of a 911 call and took a shotgun to the head and chest and died on the scene?? But I guess if it was your wife or daughter being beaten or raped - there is no point in them fighting it or hoping that someone will call the cops - because after all - they won't show up - because they are more worried about their own safety then protecting the citizens - whatever - you are living in your own "realm of fantasy land"
Cops are a lot like lawyers. They are very much a part of the problem. This doesn’t mean they never serve a purpose, just not the bloated arrogant one about protecting and serving. They generally do not protect, they come in afterwards and clean up the mess. Every single cop that arrests people for victimless crimes are criminals to me. They may have the “law” on their side – but so did slave owners at one time as well.

From my experiences, cops truly are nothing but complete douchebags. Sure there are some exceptions to that, but I haven't seen it. What I have seen is my car being out of gas on the side of the road and me walking by myself in a downpour with a gas bucket to the nearest gas station and a cop stopping and harassing me and searching me for druqs and then leaving me in the pouring rain to continue walking to the gas station half a mile down the road, rather than offer me a ride. I've also been verbally abused by a cop for speeding and was told that I was headed down the wrong direction in life all because I had a heavy foot at the age of 17.
I know there are some good cops around, but I won't hesitate or think twice for a second when I hear someone say cops suck, because for the most part they really, really do.

WHOA WHOA WHOA.....chill.....everyone just chill....meg i met you last year at camp inforoo during the brunch, (but im sure you dont remember) you are awesome and always show valid points even though they aren't what others want to here....its that republican in us it is great and sad at the same time that you had a friend that was willing to do that and take action.... but i do have to agree those great people are few and far between.
on another note..the 3few cops that i have actualy talked to they had no problem with green. it was just a part of the job.
I know some good ones personally, I have also known some dick ones. The real problem is that kid who always wanted to be the hall monitor so he could turn other kids in, he became a cop. That being said at least three times in my 32 years I have been given a second chance by a cop who found something small on me. Also two years ago when I was drunk, and spun as hell after new years, one gave me a ride the rest of the way home no questions asked. They are just people some are great, and some are smurfs. If one has you at his mercy though assume he is the smurf type, they like you to call them sir and look scared, if you do that early on they lose interest and leave you alone.
There are good and bad cops - I understand that but to sit here and say "cops suck and deserve anything bad that happens to them" is just not right at all - it's like saying - well - that woman deserved to be raped because of the way she was dressed - or that kid deserved to be abducted because the parents weren't keeping a better eye on them - it was just a stupid statement PERIOD
No one deserves to be shot at or treated like crap just because they have a badge! I talked to a bunch of the cops at Bonnaroo - took a bunch of pictures and they were all a bunch of fun - not a bunch of asses
The OP sounds like he had a typical run-in with some small town redneck cops. Yes, Butts County GA, as any rural county in most ANY STATE, has these d'ouchbag redneck type cops. There's no need to slur all Georgians. IMO, there are no geographical limits on stupidity and mean people. The worst redneck cop I ever have seen was in Missouri.
I will never, ever trust cops or our "justice" system to do anything "just" for me. When I was almost raped, I was told that I would have been better off letting the guy finish the job, b/c then there would have been hard evidence instead of my word against his. This happened inside a gas station by the guy working there. He waited until I was safely away from the cameras (at Chevron, they only point them at the cash register--I boycott Chevron now and so do most of my friends) to come up behind me and put one hand down my shirt and under my bra, and was using the other hand to try and unbutton my jeans. At this point I was screaming bloody murder, and I was somehow able to slip through his arms with the way he had them wrapped around me. Of course I ran and called the police, and you know what? They didn't give 2 shits. This dude got some bullshit simple battery ticket, never even had to stop working. And Chevron never fired him. At the one and only court date he saw (thanks a lot Fulton County....you had time to investigate when my 20-yr old friend was driving sober, but had beer in the car, and you couldn't investigate a sexual assault?? Fucking worthless pieces of shit!!!!!) was just silly. I got to tell my story, but I was also told that I didn't need to hire a lawyer b/c I was on the state's side. Yeah that's bullshit, I should've paid for legal advice. So this loser had a preliminary hearing, and they never even bothered setting another date; it was like they just planned on dismissing it. This was such a traumatic experience and nobody in the "justice" system cared.
So yeah, it's not just the cops who are worthless assholes, it's the entire system!!

While cops are necessary.. (i guess)... i'll never forgive the cop who made an illegal arrest for a terroristic threat, and then an obstruction to a police officer charge to me, when honestly, i didn't do anything at all. I lost my freedom for some 36 hours in a county jail. I lost 2700 dollars to bail myself out, yep, there went my car money. And now? I have a pending felony and pending misdemeanor and as corrupt as the system can be, i wouldn't be surprised if they actually charge me for these crimes. Maybe i should also add that he never identified me or told me why i was being arrested so i proceeded to simply keep walking, get slammed to the ground on a fucking curb and get a 200 pound knee in the back of my neck, making my face feel like it was getting crushed. Anyone who doesn't think most cops power trip have never been fucked over by the man, I can tell you that from first hand experience. With this said, sure there are some good cops out there, but most will jump at any oppurtunity to look like they're some bad-ass

Some people around here need to grow up. "The only good cop is a dead cop"?!?
I know a lot of good cops. I've also had brief encounters with many cops who could have made my life a living hell, but instead gave me a brief talk and let me go my way.
Are there some prick cops out there? Yes. I've got news for you. There are pricks everywhere in life. There are, obviously, pricks on this board.
And another related thing I have to bitch about. I've seen several threads recently about dudes getting punched by the cops at the Farm. These are the dudes who had drugs on them, and then tried to run. Number One: Don't fucking run from the cops. If you get busted, take your medicine. Which brings me directly to Number Two: Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. If you're carrying, expect to get busted. Does the law suck major ass? HELL YES!!! But you're still breaking it.
I'm sure this is pure coincidence, but I know a John in Des Moines that would proudly wear the V avatar...met him at the Iowa Straw poll a few summers back...could you be him?

The problem is that there are too many laws, thus an overblown "need" for cops. Really, you could cut every department in the country down by at least 75 percent and cover all of the "protect and serve" stuff. Our politicians have to justify not having a real job by continuously making laws and never taking any of them away. I've known a couple of good cops, but do not doubt for a moment that they are outnumbered 20 to 1 by the d-bags that exist to make our lives miserable.

Theres only one kind of good cop....... a dead cop!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to you - I guess we can say
the only good hippie, raver, concert goer, druggie, wookie, etc. is a dead one, huh?
That was an ignorant statement to make and obviously shows that you are immature and still waiting for your balls to drop.
Come on people - there are good cops and bad cops - personally - I don't want to love in a world where there are not cops cuz then Boz would not have a job telling them where to go, plus the sheer anarchy in society would be unbelievable.
But on the same note - there are good hippies and bad hippies
Sorry that some of you have come up against some assholes.
I learned long ago - treat them with respect and 9 times out of 10 you will be treated with respect. I have had many stops where I could have been arrested or given a ticket and instead got off with a warning because I was polite and respectful

Yes they do! F*CK THA POLICE!!! 911 is a joke in my town!!
I'm sure this is pure coincidence, but I know a John in Des Moines that would proudly wear the V avatar...met him at the Iowa Straw poll a few summers back...could you be him?
Sorry. I'll blow my cover here. Actual name is Mark.
I'm done - ya'll hate on them all you want - fact still is - they are the ones you dial up when your shit is being stolen, your mother, daughter or girlfriend has been raped, you have been mugged.
Yet you want to sit and bitch about them arresting you for druq violations or speeding or any number of other broken laws.
It's simple - obey the law and they are pretty good guys - break the law and you take your chances.
I know the cops where I live are there to protect and serve and I would not hesitate to call them and fully expect that they would be there within minutes.
