Get a sence of humor. For Gods sake why does everyone have to be so
serious and bitch about everything here. It seems that one post cant go
by without some smart ass response.

LOL...actually, I have a sense of humor.
But describing police officers as 'idiots with guns', etc, isn't
particularly
funny, nor do I think the miserable 'cops & donut shop' quips as being
funny,
either, unless of course one still counts with one's fingers and toes g.

No, that original post was nasty, not funny, and I stand by my response.

In that regard I DO agree with you. COPS aren't as they used to be... they
are now all required to undergo vast training. Even in smaller areas. It
isn't like the past where most anyone could be given a badge and gun. Even
the Constables. A few years ago, you got elected, you were the man. No
training necessary. NOT NOW. The world has changed.

COPS are human, they too are prone to errors. IT HAPPENS! WE ALL DO. I've
seen people take cops as idiots when the cops were merely trying to cut them
a break. The people involved were the "idiots". Basically, "I" have come
away with the thought that anyone who hates cops, "USUALLY" has a past with
them. They got caught speeding, dealing, whatever. Yes, I'm human too, I've
been busted speeding twice. It was MY fault, not the cops. Why blame them?
If a person can't admit to their own mistakes and learn from them, then I
pity them. However, when I got busted, I didn't give them a bunch of bull
****. Being I didn't, they cut me a break. They said so. One guy had me dead
to rights. I wasn't thinking - was consumed by a days events and was way
over in my speed. He wrote me up for 10 over. And I'm going to argue that?
HELL NO. Don't be an ass and you won't have a problem. Take your punishment
like a man/woman. Admit to your mistakes. Why make it harder?

And since we're into the Holidays.. One thing I DO ADVOCATE is a DESIGNATED
DRIVER. I've pulled far too many people out of crashes, INNOCENT victims.
Children killed. So, PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. If you're caught DUI,
don't blame the cops, they didn't make you drink it. They're only trying to
keep you from killing someone, maybe even yourself.
