"Why I hate cops- they roll heavier than we did outside the wire downrange, they use helicopters and machine guns and militarized stuff and drive tanks into crowds..."

[stboz]

Don’t like the police? Next time, try calling a hippie.

Cops are the enemy. They shoot the family dog, toss flash-bangs on babies, and shoot up vans with innocent people.

There is no situation that will not be made worse by the presence of a cop.

Hippies don’t bust my door, shoot my dog, throw flash bangs in my babies crib, set up free speech zones, stick an AR straight in my face...

[thorvaldr]

Hippies don’t shoot me while I’m reaching for my ID, stop me without probable cause, stand up behind politicians who are telling me the bill of rights doesn’t apply to me ...

void dealing with cops under any and all situations. They cannot be relied upon to come down on the right side of any situation.

Besides, they tend to treat everyone like a criminal. I will not tolerate their arrogance.

[Larry Lucido]

I hate one-line blog excerpts.

[SkyDancer]

Don’t have to. I carry.

Cops are not there to protect you. They respond to crimes after they’ve happened.

From the article:
Lately everywhere I look on social media, the news and even in public places, I hear how much people hate cops. They talk about things like “the militarization of police” and discuss how the boys in blue "don't really need” armored personnel carriers, rifle-protective vests, AR-15 rifles, NODS, etc. Those stupid "when did this become this" memes are everywhere. People have been beating this drum loud lately, and frankly I'm tired of hearing it. Its just plain ridiculous and asinine to ask law enforcement to do such a dangerous job without those special tools at their disposal.

It wouldn't be so dangerous if they, you know, (a) bothered to ensure they were at the right address, (b) weren't always in "out to get you"/"you're just a perp we haven't caught yet" modes, (c) DIDN'T LIE ON THE WITNESS STAND, (d) didn't tolerate those that do.

A good example is the rise in SWAT usage — is there something wrong with "old fashioned"/boring detective work? What about "waiting him out" tactics?
Oh, wait, that would end up undermining the "need" for military equipment and training.

I haven't posted it in a while, but it's stuff like this that makes me believe that LEOs like it when you
Stop, Drop, and Cower

Like everything else, there is good and bad. That said, I find them useless. In all my dealings they never once caught the perp and did everything they could to avoid doing paperwork.

I once had a case of water stolen from my car and even though someone got the license of the car the assholes got away in the cop said to me “You really want to press charges over a case of water?”

So much for principle. I told him have a nice day. and the next time I call will be for you to come pick up the dead body for breaking into my car.

And if you think you’re going to arrest me you can go F*** yourself.

and I have two brothers retired from NYPD.

[Lazamataz]

Avoid dealing with cops under any and all situation.

Seriously. This is not the same police of the 1980's-1990's.

Cops are not there to protect you. They respond to crimes after they’ve happened

Or try to build a case against you if you defended yourself against a criminal.

[Doctor 2Brains]

Last time I called the pigs (a felon armed with a carpet knife broke into my car and I armed myself before leaving the apartment to investigate—said felon was long gone) the pigs threatened to arrest ME for arming myself!!!! And this was in VIRGINIA!!!!

[Doctor 2Brains]

Oh great. Another Cops Are Scum thread.

Getting popcorn.

[CodeToad]

“Next time, try calling a hippie”

Much safer, actually. I don’t need a cop to stop a crime in progress. Besides, they rarely ever do. They arrive well after the crime to write up the report then bitch they have to do that.

[Lazamataz]

Cops are the most vile form of life on the planet. Oftentimes, swarms of cops will gang up on small children and within minutes, drain their blood. Cops can often be found in cow flops, breeding new cops, which hatch from the maggot stage to the winged variety. Many cops are biting cops that transmit various diseases, including ebola.

[cripplecreek]

I’ve never had any problem with cops and that includes the time they had me on the ground with guns on me. (they apologized and sent me on my way)

[onedoug]

I was a passenger in car out near Terrell TX when it veered off the road and landed in a ditch. It seemed an eternity before a flashlight partially blinded me and a Texas State Trooper was behind it reassuring us and that ambulances were on the way. I was never so happy to see a cop in my life, and I’ve remembered that all these years.
