Yeah, Cops are so evil, until you need one. Just like the military has always been, hated in peacetime, loved during war. Unless you have spent time in a policeman shoes you have no idea what they face each day. They put their lives at risk each day handling the garbage of our society like Freddie Grey so we don’t have to. The next time you find yourself in a dangerous situation, like a burglar in your house or a stalker following your wife don’t even think about calling those cops you hate so much.
I think you missed the sarcasm in golf lover’s post. The reference is with respect to the liberal media’s “white police officer kills unarmed black man” narrative, or so it appears to me.
“The next time you find yourself in a dangerous situation, like a burglar in your house or a stalker following your wife don’t even think about calling those cops you hate so much.”
I would not call them anyway, until *after*.
Get my drift?
Check post 14!
There are VERY few situations that cannot be made worse by involving the police.
When “Officer Friendly” started referring to the public as civilians rather than as fellow citizens, he assumed a whole different mindset.
In actual fact, a police officer is nothing more, nothing less than a fellow citizen entrusted with the enforcement of the law.
That THEY have forgotten that is not OUR fault. It IS our problem, though, since all of a sudden it has become an “Us vs Them” mindset among the constabulary.
Now that same unfortunate attitude has been brought to the fore by many recent events, and non-uniformed citizens are dying at an accelerated rate, or so it seems.
As for your “when you need one” non-sequitor:
I have “needed” the assistance of a police officer exactly twice in my 54 years, the first time when I was 10 years old. That officer was no help at all, but at least he was polite.
The second time was in my mid-thirties, my house was burgled. That cop acted like I was a serious burden to his day, life and existence. His partner was rolling his eyes from the time they entered my house until they left.
They wouldn’t even look at the list of goods (serial numbers included) I had already documented before their arrival.
Yeah, there’s a reason “copsucker” exists as a pejorative on this forum. Just recounting that last episode got my dander up.
“Need” a cop? Not flipping likely.
