What do you have to say for yourself now? ; )

My first DUI, last month lol, 21 y.o. and 3 months, rear ends city vehicle at midnight while searching for cell phone. Blew a .192 and a .182. Good news was she was nice and cooperative and she had the good manners to hit a city vehicle that possessed the city supervisor in it so I didn't have to call her out to the scene.
The last one I did before my BAC expired (LOL) was kind of funny. I had this young girl in the back of the car after she miserably failed FST's and she was crying and sobbing like a baby. She was very afraid to get locked up. How we got through the BAC I'll never know but she was in a bad way the whole time.
Words don't give it justice but I finally managed to calm her down on the way to jail and she tells me thanks. Turns out she was very afraid of jail and never been atrested and was afraid she'd be raped or beat up by an inmate. Basically I told her that was nonsense and it was very rare. The jail staff was very professional and helpful if you cooperate yada yada...
Well the door to the booking area opens from the elevator and about for corrections guys are pounding and riding on this rather large tatooed dude who's fighting back rather well right there in front of the door. Well that was enough for my arrestee to go back to square one. It was quite a sight with the fight and everything

ROFL! Not fair. That looks like a bunch of Rachael Corrie wannabes. They just walk into that kind of stuff 8>)
Sorry. I tried to find a photo of somebody respectable looking getting beat up by cops, but I couldn't find a single one. What's up with that? Are you guys prejudiced against ugly creepy looking people?
Only the ones whose actions are creepy and ugly.
Tell you what, on a serious note, it's hard to become unassuming in LE. There are some folks living on the street who most anyone would dismiss as trash that I would trust with my life. On the other hand, there some "officers" I know I couldn't trust to watch my car for the weekend.
Of course if you just arbitrarily pick on weird looking folks they might be under cover narcs 8>)
That gal in middle who is smiling, is having way too much fun. Gonna be hard to prove brutality there. OTH looking at blue hat commie gal, she needs to be pounded for ugly in public and dissin' on Old Glory for whatever Bush's Fault whine of the week she spouting off about. Hows that?
Who can blame her? Look what she's pressed against.
She's been turned to the forces of good. There may be a double entendre there.
If there's an LE list, haven't been there or done that but pinging along.
We have to realize that for every ass-hole wearing a badge, there are probably hundreds of policemen just like Rick...
...who look the other way when the asshole abuses his power or the rights of individuals.
I think you have your ratio reversed
You're point is well taken, but I would take one exception. I think it's the guys NOT like Rick who put up with them. Quite a few guys like Rick will roll over on a bad cop in a minute. I've been on the witness stand myself to testify against a dirty cop (he was lawyered up and the jury acquitted him, but at least he stayed fired).
On the other hand, I had a friend join Chicago PD. He left within 8 months saying he couldn't abide by what he saw. Told me IAD wanted him to go undercover but figured either he or his family would end up dead. That was his story, of course, but it's consistent with what I've heard elsewhere.
I'm on alot of lists...(most of them don't involve me getting any Christmas presents)
I guess being added to an LEO list would be fine by me.
19 years 7 months down... 5 years to go.
I would have to agree with you based on my own personal experience.
I was trying to be generous.
