It's you that causes the bias overload (and lots of eye-rolling), far more than the cop. I like to read your posts just to see how much you have to bend, stretch and ignore what people are saying so you can come to your own conclusion that anyone who posts a criticism (or a genuine story about cops acting badly) is a "cop-hater." Philosophically, I think they all have the potential to be the thugs that many accuse them of being, and we are on a downward trajectory when it comes to law enforcement.

I see this criticism of them as helping other folks here know what to be wary of when encountering a cop--and we have every reason to be wary. And you've never answered why you find that so incredibly offensive. Is anything other than blind faith and obedience acceptable to you?

This thread provides the proof.

It seems much to hard to ignore, or just say nice story ... Must attack cops, cops are bad ... It's an M.O. for some, it is obvious, and it also saddens the soul to realize that some hold such strong bias, that they can not recognize a good deed as a good deed.

Lol. I recognize a 'good deed.' What this guy did is indeed a 'good deed.' It is equally as much doing a 'good job.' I do good deeds. Posted one in the thread above. I didn't get a thread on RPF about it. I didn't even get paid for it.
He did his 'job.' so what? Good on him. Give him a medal. WTF are you asking for here?

Just like you are drawn to "bad cop" stories like a moth to flame, in order to put up some justification.

Look, I'm not quite sure what it's going to take to understand this:

This is not about cops as individuals, as individuals I'm sure many are genuinely good folks, who love their families and kids, putter around in the garden and play softball.

That does not excuse the fact that they are serving and enforcing the edicts of a regime that has, IMO, gone corrupt, rotten and evil.

The fact that a cop rescues a dog in a fence one day, and then SWAT raids somebody on a bogus tip and terrorizes an entire family and shoots the family dog the next day, does not make it right.

The analogy would be excusing a fireman's arson, because the day before he rescued a kitten in a tree.

If you have to legitimately be concerned that the men in black masks and guns, kicking your door down in the middle of the night are cops, then you have long since given up any pretensions about living in a free society.

It's called a police state for a reason.

A lot of cops ARE bad. And you get pissed because someone posts about it, even if they aren't condemning all cops.

I have never condemned all cops (and yes, I know several here have), but I'm sure as hell not going to trust them or give them any special respect level because they have a badge. I'm always polite, even when they've been total dicks to me. There was a new cop in Baltimore who pulled me over at 4:30 AM when I was on my way to work (front headlight out), and he talked my ear off for at least a half-hour. Nice guy--is he still a nice guy or is he corrupted by their organization now? Don't know.

Another friend of mine joined the Maryland state police force--he's a great guy, hilarious. He lasted 2-3 months because he just couldn't take the macho "fuck you" attitude that his fellow cops had. He was far too easy-going.

Another k-9 cop that used to go to the same dog park I went to (yeah, he brought the police dog, very well-behaved) would occasionally talk about the corruption (Baltimore again), but he said he had to play along sometimes or he'd lose his job.

One cop that pulled me over was really nice, he also told the judge I was polite, so my fine was lower and I got fewer points.
Another was a total jackass.
Another was not nice, not mean.
The first time though, I was absolutely terrified for my life, because I was out on a very rural road and the cop just followed me for about 15 minutes, I didn't know the speed limit, I didn't know where I was (dark & raining), and the fuck calls for backup. (I'm a female, driving alone in a Honda Civic--hardly a typical criminal profile.) This asshole and his "backup" grill me for at least a half-hour about who I am, where I'm coming from, where I'm going, what I'm doing and treat me like a criminal because I was "driving too slow." I mean, really, a college student (had the sticker on the bumper), I weighed all of about 110lbs, clean cut...my laundry in the back seat next to a giant pile of books.

And what--I'm part of what you conceive as "the problem" because I do not trust them? I'd done nothing. Can't complain about the other stops because I was speeding.

Talk about missing the point entirely..

It is the Concept of Police that is inherently evil.
It is an Authoritarian construct. Contrary to both the principles and practice of Liberty.

The very concept of police should not exist in a free society.

Their actions and abuses are just a natural result of their existence.

http://www.constitution.org/lrev/roots/cops.htm
Police work is often lionized by jurists and scholars who claim to employ "textualist" and "originalist" methods of constitutional interpretation. Yet professional police were unknown to the United States in 1789, and first appeared in America almost a half-century after the Constitution's ratification. The Framers contemplated law enforcement as the duty of mostly private citizens, along with a few constables and sheriffs who could be called upon when necessary. This article marshals extensive historical and legal evidence to show that modern policing is in many ways inconsistent with the original intent of America's founding documents. The author argues that the growth of modern policing has substantially empowered the state in a way the Framers would regard as abhorrent to their foremost principles.

America Invaded by Its Police State

Posted by Michael S. Rozeff on May 2, 2012 08:02 AM

I ask you, how illogical is it to argue that because you might be a terror threat to others, the police have a right to stop you on the road, or search you in a bus terminal, or search you in an airport, train station, supermarket, shopping mall, sports event, night club, or simply anywhere on any street at any time or in your home where you may be conspiring? All of these are birds of a feather. There is no difference among them whatsoever when it comes to the supposed justification. It all comes down to policing against non-existent crimes, that is, policing against threats that have not materialized and literally do not exist except as mere possibilities or figments of imagination. By the way, this slippery slope leads into thought crime, crimes of speech and expression, and into control of minds so that these threats are extinguished before they are thought or shortly thereafter.

There is a difference between an actual threat and an imagined threat. An actual threat has several categories whereby one knows that harm is possibly going to be inflicted or is imminent. There may be a statement of intention to inflict harm (pain, injury, damage). There may be an exhibition or brandishing of weapons. There may be body language that indicates an attack.


Buying an airline ticket or boarding an airplane or getting off a bus to leave the terminal or driving along a highway or taking a subway or photographing a policeman -- none of these constitute threats of any kind.

If people are to control their police and policing, they cannot allow police to take action against non-existent threats, simply because that category is infinitely expansible and justifies complete power of the police over the people. There cannot be policing against suspicions that lack a basis in real behavior. That means policing without a reason.

All these VIPR activities and airport searches are totally inconsistent with government (policing) being controlled by people. They are the very definition of a police state.

There is simply no question that America has been invaded by its own government or police state.

It makes no difference whatever to this conclusion, which is a matter of logic and understanding of the terms and actions involved, to say that a certain number of people (even a majority of people) agree with it or comply with it or support it. If some people want a police state or support it, it doesn't change the fact that it's a police state.

The irony of this invasion of America by the TSA and other kinds of police being aided and abetted by VIPRs is that they are not only threats but actual invaders who are constantly invading people.

The supposed protectors are the invaders.

Replace cop with politician and the sentiment still works...

By this reasoning we shouldn't support Ron Paul, write about him, spread his good, or anything right?

Even in a stateless society there will have to be private firms of "police" officers to enforce decisions of private courts when people refuse. Otherwise how do you enforce a contract when the other party refuses to honor it? The only difference being they could be held responsible for their actions without the protection of the state. In theory this would make them act with respect for liberty. Some kind of firm to enforce contracts has to exist.

The argument that "we only focus on the bad and not the good" falls to pieces when you consider that bad cops are not held accountable for their criminal actions.

If you want to hold up good cops as being the standard of the day, send the bad cops who kill or beat innocent people, steal from people, plant evidence, shoot harmless animals, etc... send those people to jail, then I'll talk

Who hijacked your account?
 
Pardon me while I scrape my jaw off the floor...

Dude, your supposed to shoot the dog then brag to your buddies about how you got off on the dogs suffering as it died and laughing about the families grief.

It's all supposed to be a big power trip for you.

Someone obviously made a "bad" hire. Someone that actually helped the community - what's your malfunction???

:rolleyes:

Cop said, "You don't think he's gonna jump up and attack me, do ya?"

Indeed, that was a real risk. But the cop saved the dog anyway, with little regard for his own safety. Well done, Officer.
