Why I am starting to really dislike LEO....

[TAB]

As a group, it seems CCW holders are more law abiding than LEO's.

Nation wide, Cops have a higher conviction rate per capita then the general public...


Think about that for a second, also think about how much of the stuff they let slide for fellow officers.

Hi;

     Last month I had a problem with a person habitually on my property. There is a new developemnet next to me and for the past several years the attitude of some of them is that their property is theirs and my property is theirs. Now this 1 guy I spoke to that day - I repeated my warning to stay off the property - 15 minutes later there he was on the road again, so I called the State Police and since I live in the country the dispatcher  stated that he could not find my place and left. I had him call me and almost had to BEG the guy to respond to the call.

     He did not want to walk with me and I show him what the problem was - he even stated that he did not want to be here and that Trespassing is not a crime ! I could not believe it, I guess if I had shot the trespasser or clubbed him over the head    THEN  they would have responded willingly.

     I have come across    SOME  state police that understand issues with land and private property but they are far and few. Most just want to write up a report and leave. As I always tell the cops, my lawyer wants me to call them so that when the offenders get pulled into court there is a record on them. The cops dont care. Lawyers and courts can cost a lot and If I were to constantly bring these people to court - the money for my needs quickly goes away.

     Cops of today do not think that they are servants of the people - just the "machine" !

These are the kinds of "officers" that need to be reported. Get them on record as being negligent. That way when they eventually DO go off on someone. There is a record of complacency and belligerence.

Cops need to police "their own" much more diligently. When they look the other way when they see corruption, or any bad behaviour, it hurts every good cop out there. They've been doing exactly that for decades, and it's getting worse. Much worse. Frank Serpico would have been dead in a week in today's world. Police, much like a lot of service related fields, have gone to hell in a hand basket in recent years.  Bill T.

We had a crash here were a truck driver crossed the highway and killed 10 people.

All truck drivers suck.

In case you forgot Serpico was set up to be killed by cops.

The biggest problem is that cops are unionized, just like every other unionized industry the shit stays since they can't be fired  while the good ones look for another line of work.

Bet it was a union driver.

My point was it would have happened much sooner now than back then.   Bill T.

You are right.  All truck drivers suck....as opposed to cops where only the growing percentage of poor ones suck.

Exactly why I'm no longer a cop

Cops are OK.
LEO's suck.

Ones there to "serve and protect".
The other is there to throw around the weight of his badge.

Brilliant quote... (borrowing this!)
