“There’s two types of cops in this world: liars and those who have yet to be caught lying. “
I’ve dealt with some of that type, but I’ve also met (and am good friends with) several actually GOOD cops! I’ve gone on multiple ride-alongs with cops I know in the area as well as ones I didn’t know. Friday nights in the summer are by far the best times for a ride-along due to all of the activity, FAR better than paying to go to an amusement park.
As an example of how a good cop operates, my friend the Deputy Sheriff Sargent says he always deals with people who are holded up by themselves by simply WAITING! Cut off the water and utilities and he says they’ll eventually come out on their own every time. He says it makes no difference to him how long it takes because he gets paid either way.
Really GOOD cops look at it as pretty much just a job, and their job is generally to resolve fuched up situations, catch bad guys, and do it all with the least amount of fuss possible.
Ask your GOOD cop friends what happens to a GOOD cop that snitches on a BAD cop.
The reason why the BAD cops are still on the force is because the so-called GOOD cops look the other way.
