My neighbor is a cop... I went and talked to him one day while he was driving by.... He wasnt wearing a seatbelt.. so i asked why.... He has the choice to wear one or not... I couldnt help but ask why its not required... Since he might have to jump out of his car at any time he doesnt wear one...For example on his night shift he got a call of an aggravated man threatining to kill himself.. he was sitting in his 4 year olds room and put a shot gun down his throat.. pulled the trigger... this was aft er a 3 hour stand off with cops trying to talk him down... Now think if the cops wouldnt have been there and his son to walk into the room.... A little off topic but honestly I dont care if cops speed or not.. Next time they might be speeding to get to that house where that next crazy man is so his children dont walk in on his corpes...

just my take on it-

I agree but when they speed they are putting other peopleâ??s lives in danger. Most of the time it is some drunken person making a fool out of their selves. I don't think that is worth putting other peopleâ??s lives in danger. A drunk will always cause problems.

I saw a cop tackle a drunk. The drunk fought and fought so the police officer grabbed him by the testicles and told the man he would cut his testicles out if he did not stop fighting. The drunk quit fighting and the police officer handcuffed him. There are a lot of drunks where I live and they love to fight and cause problems when they get drunk.

Well if a cop with his wife, and kid in the back of the car going 75 in a 40, that pull into a daycare to drop off their kid is considered going to a crime scene then I'll stop here.

In his patrol car?

If so, would it bother you as much if it was Joe Schmo in his Accord?

Y2K -
An opinion is to be celebrated these days- what are you talking about- we live in a pacified society where EVERYONE HAS to conform to "MY" Ideals-
Its nice to have someone to debate with.

And here is a small tidbit of info I recieved on my first day working dispatch,
of the 100% of the uniformed police officers:
10% have no real business being in law enforcement,
80% do the job and get a paycheck,
10% are the Best people, and make damn good cops.

This was told to me by one of my sgt's - he also noted that I would be able to tell who was who within a few months-
I have met a few of our Top 10% they are FANTASTIC cops, I have also met a few of our bottom 10% - I really dont like them - and they get a lot of TA's because they are jerks, and a lot of the 80% guys just want to get home to their families at night.

I know that these numbers are by no means in concrete, and they were just one mans vision of law enforcement, but to this day I think he was right.

Thank goodness for the 10% who are stellar men who take more crap in one day than most people ever see in their lifetime, and can be great cops. They get shot at and complained to each and everyday, spit on and beat up, all for a lowsey "good job and write more tickets" from the LT's. If it werent for these few - all agencies would be severly handicap, and each one of us would have to go home each night and hide in fear in our houses.


(and im not joking about the write more tickets bit- we just lost one of our best officers to another agency because at his evaluation one of the capt's told him that he hadnt been writing enough citations- )
