perhaps i misspoke. i have only RUN towards bullets once. i was lucky enough to hear them but only got there in time to see the dead drug dealer on the sidewalk. killed by another drug dealer (who we eventually caught). but usually we get a call about the bullets and we drive towards it at a high rate of speed.

but i'm not here looking for a pat on the back. it's a job. what i do not like is people putting blankets over the entire institution of policing because the only stories people post around here are the ones where cops are alleged to have done bad things.

you never see the good stories. they are never written.

you really don't get it. so this will be my last post here. Post 70. Arn't you supposed to be gone?

But stay. You aptly and expertly explained what is so wrong with police mentality these days. I used to do ride-alongs... I don't even smile at police offices today because of people like you on the police force. And you see nothing wrong with these actions as we are just 'civilians.' You may as well call us 'monkeys' as the Khmers did to their population, or 'logs' as the Japanese did to their subjects. Don't you see how wrong this is and were it leads?

We are fellow Americans, not police officers and civilians. Please keep that in the forefront of you mind.
