thefactor claims:

no matter how much of a d!@k another officer is, i'll always trust him more than any citizen on the street. it's just the way it is.
right or wrong, cops stick together and identify with their own.

You are sworn to protect & defend our Constitution, - and your fellow citizens. -- Your words above cast doubt that you see this as your primary role. Care to explain?

i said trust, not believe.

No, you said right or wrong cops should stick together. Your primary role is to defend our Constitution.

my point is that in dangerous situations, i would rather have the cop i dislike at my side than a non-police officer. that's all. nothing to do with protecting the constitution, as you put it.

I'm starting to wonder about your training as a law officer. You have "nothing to do with protecting the constitution" ?

let's be real here. on any given tour, the less i deal with law-abiding citizens the better. it means they don't need me.

We are real here. You are in effect, defending the actions of a rogue cop. -- You said right or wrong cops should stick together.

From what I'm garnering from the arguments being made by some of the "LEO" Freeper members here is that the old Constitution is just some crappy old document that doesn't have any bearing on modern day life and is just a useless piece of paper that dirty lawyers use to get their filthy stinking guilty clients off the hook with.

I'd suggest that they pick up a copy and read it and ponder its meaning, but I think it would have the same effect as red kryptonite on Superman or holy water to a vampire. Actually I like the vampire analogy better as it seems today that the main mission of all police forces is to suck the life blood out of John Q. Citizen's wallet.

no you dolt, not right cops or wrong cops!

cops stick together just because they stick together. not right or wrong in terms of backing up cops who break the laws. are you serious. have you never heard of figures of speech? if a family member of yours did something stupid or illegal, would you disown them? or would you perhaps condemn their behavior but offer support? that is called sticking together.

and no, dangerous situations have little do with with protecting the constitution. they have to do with getting you and your fellow cops home alive. i'm not talking about a car stop of a 20 year old punk kid. i'm talking about real danger.

you seem to be thoroughly out of touch with how to interpret normal discourse. step away from the computer, go outside and talk to actual people.
