My point is the idiots that automatically assume the cop is in the wrong without considering the facts. If you are one of those, carry one.
I have found the most of the people that hate cops are the ones who have had their ego bruised because they got caught (or their family got caught) breaking the law and they are unwilling to accept responsibility for their actions.
If you have read any of my posts, you will see that I have no problem pointing out wrong doing by a law enforcement officer. I sincerely doubt it though.
Again, don’t let facts get in the way.
“I have found the most of the people that hate cops are the ones who have had their ego bruised because they got caught (or their family got caught) breaking the law and they are unwilling to accept responsibility for their actions.”
Sorry, but I find most of the people who hate cops simply have their eyes open to the corruption, bad attitudes, poor accountability, and violent prone tendencies of modern LE.
There are a lot of bad cops out there, and very few who want to do anything about it. Officer Harless of Canton OH is a prime example. What I learned about cops did NOT come from him. It came from how the other officers bent over backwards to defend him.
It is easy to paint everyone who are sick and tired of cop attitudes with a negative brush, because you then are free to ignore criticism.
But a cop put it best to a badge I go back and forth with on another site.
“When people rooted for that Dorner nut, then maybe LE needs to take a good look at themselves and ask ‘why’?”
Of course their behavior during the Dorner hunt didn’t exactly help their image as protesters of the innocent. Nor did the lack of punishment for the offending cops who lost it.
As for facts in this case? Apparently there was a construction issue that was causing people to have to go around. If so, it appears this cop chose to ignore that. And one has to wonder why she was targeted. He is a campus cop. Maybe he has issues with the staff. I don’t know. But it is odd he chose a construction area to make an issue of jay walking.
Well said.
So while the State is being flooded with illegals and the police are ignoring it. You think this is okay for police to bust citizens for jay walking? I see cops and people jay walking all the time and NOTHING is ever said or done. This is complete B.S.
Don’t you see the hypocrisy? Theses cops are picking and choosing which laws to enforce and which to ignore. Jay walking is not a crime anyhow. No one is hurt. It’s a ninny state jackboot law that does not server or protect. It only harasses citizens and robs them of their money. It’s a joke. How many hard criminals do you know that are in prison for jay walking?
