hey way to derail a decent thread guys

i just find it funny that you're bitching about it but do it to other threads. this thread is just like the others, just not to you.

clam v. thread rerail in 4-6 posts.

I dont feel like i derail many threads. if any.

not many, but you do try. i condensed it into a nice quote train for you.



so how about them thar cops. one recently pulled up alongside my car while i was smoking with 2 passengers. he sniffed. i smiled and waved. he nodded and drove off.

i don't have problems with law enforcement officers, but i have seen some interesting events. usually outside clubs, and projects.

thats hardly a derail, but ok.

i recommend everyone do a ridealong with a 3rd or 4th shift cop. its pretty interesting, and gives a better insight on the shit they do.

I was watching some show on prison guards for about 10 minutes today when some 400 pound prison guard got pissed off at this 120 pound 18 year old because he was complaining (read: choking back tears and begging) about the guard putting pressure on his arm by crushing him against a wall for no damn reason.

I thought he was just a complainer until I saw the splint and he started talking about how he had a couple dozen stitches and some brackets that got put in a couple days before.

Say what you want about ethics and whatever, but there's a large minority (I wouldn't be surprised if it was a majority, even) of cops that get involved in the field just so they can bully people around.

EDIT: With Aestu vanishing from threads that are designated for him, I'm thinking about just making a sticky that I'm just going to dump all of his really dumb posts in (read: this thread).

some cops get into the field to either get some experience for a federal gig like the marshal's service, and some do in fact join up to put away bad guys and help good people.

it may be more the media than actuality though. the media hates cops.

I disagree completely. I'm sure they exist, but most cops get involved to help and protect people. Now, there is a difference between where they start, and how they respond to dealing with the shit of society, shit that will never stop being shit and rarely get punished for the things the cops have to clean up.

Actual, meaningful punishments need to be handed out, but because of the overcrowding (thanks drug laws) sentences get shortened and pleas get handed out like candy.

You can't stop the kind of stuff that happens in that video. You can educate the police and keep the public informed of their rights and informed of proper police conduct (what cops can convince you to do and what cops can legally do are often two very different things), but you can't prevent every incident like this.

You should read (the awfully titled) Cop in the Hood. A Harvard Sociology professor gets turned down for a study with Baltimore City police. The lieutenant suggest that if he wants to still do his study, he'll just hire him as a cop. The guy spent 18 months as a cop working 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. in the bad part of Baltimore and documented what he saw, what he did, and the cops around him. http://www.amazon.com/Cop-Hood-Policing ... 0691140081

Heh. You think most police get into law enforcement just so they can bully people around and do what they want (and it's obvious you have a problem with it), but then in the same g'damn post, you talk about how you're going to use your admin powers to bully people (lolread: Aestu) around and do whatever you want (make sticky threads and push all a users (lolread: Aestu) content into it just because you think it's/he's stupid)...

Welcome to their ranks...

This is funny to me because my wife and I had a very similar conversation last night on the way to our daughters softball game. One town in our area has a rep for having horrible cops. They hire all of these billy bad ass want-a-be assholes who like to shove people around on routine traffic stops and stare down people when they drive past. This area also has one of the higher instances of violence against cops, I wonder why lol. My town the cops are very well respected, will carry on a normal conversation if you see them out and about and I know for a fact that at least 6 of them are willing to answer questions for a 6 year old that wants to know everything she can about what they do. Most of the officers are 30+ but there are a few younger ones. These two towns neighbor each other and its night and day the respect that the officers give and recieve from the public.

9 level 90s and 10 85s, Damn I need another hobby.

Where I live the cops are pretty respected, too. They don't really cause a scene and they stay out of your business unless you're breaking the law. We have a couple cops staged outside the movie theater on the weekends to keep the peace because hundreds of teenagers from rival schools gathering in one spot is going to stir some trouble... but even then, they don't fuck with the kids unless a fight breaks out.

All in all, I think it's an issue of respect; in most cases if you respect them then they'll respect you... but that extends to all jobs and all personal interactions. The negative responses/ass kickings you'd receive for being an antagonistic/condescending/insipid twat towards someone aren't limited to law enforcement.

Appropriate.

I'm pretty sure this was one of those shows that are supposed to show people what cops have to deal with in order to get them in a more positive light, or at least that was my take on it after watching it for a little bit.

EDIT:

If I did whatever I want, you'd be the first person out of here and Aestu would have his own special board which would be called "For Aestu, By Us". He'd be banned from posting on all other boards and people could vote to send threads over to his board, sort of like throwing fish into the dolphin tank at Sea World.
