The reason cops are so horrible now is because society is not being vigilant enough.

I am more scared of cops than anyone else in society because there are so many bad cops...

My experiences with police:

1. Friends and I get chased by a drunk driver for nearly an hour (called 911 after 10 minutes). Police start questioning details of dispatcher acting like 'us kids' are making up a story. After forty-five minutes of pleading with the dispatcher and my friend saying his cell phone battery is dying (while dispatcher relays story to unbelieving police), they send an officer. Yay.. they pull over the drunk driver and we are saved.

2. Cop pulls me over saying I was going 71 in a 45. I was going 60. 71 was 1mph over necessary 70mph for double the fine.

3. Cop pulls me over for going 77mph in a 70mph. Says I was going 82. Makes me wait 30 minutes and then lets me go without a ticket or anything.

4. Cop pulls my friend over while I was in the car. Friend was going 45mph in a 45mph zone. Cop says she was going "around 60mph". I asked for the cop's badge number. He yelled at me and told me to get out of the car. So, I get out of the car and he says I should not have got out of the car and getting out of the car is a threat to him. So he slams me against the car while holding my arms against my back so my chin hits the hood of the car and tells me not to 'fvck with him'. Then he pats me down and says 'this is for my own safety.' He still didn't give me his badge number and instead said to find it out myself.

5. Cop taps me on the kneecap with knightstick while he was kicking everyone out of a party. Fvcking hurt for a week.

6. Four 'good ol' boy' cops break up a neighbor's party decked out in cowboy hats and boots. They yelled and cussed at everyone like they were just trying to start fights. They were in everyone's faces just trying to provoke violence.

7. Cops kick in my friend's locked door for another party in high school. House was locked.. they had no warrant, no threat, no noise complaint. They just saw a lot of cars outside.

8. Cop yells at a girl at Barnie's in front of me for not giving him a free Barnie's Freezer that he ordered. The Barnie's Freezer normally costs $4.50. The manager comes up to her and says it's not worth making a scene and hands the cop his Freezer.

9. Cop comes and kicks us out of our own jacuzzi in our apartment complex for drinking beer outside. When we point out that the only one of us that was underrage wasn't drinking, he says he's being nice by not taking us all to jail for 'open container'.

10. Cop busts my friend for a DUI for sleeping in his car outside of a party while his keys were still in the apartment. He decided not to drive home drunk.. so he gets a DUI. He finally got it expunged after 3 months of parole, getting alcohol-tested twice a week at his expense for 3 months, and spending about 80 hours of his time dealing with his incompetent public defender. He gets no record from this except for when you search his name on the internet, an arrest for a DUI shows up.

11. At a UF football game, after buying a $4 soda, a cop decides he needs to 'smell my soda for alcohol content'. I see the tips of his nose hairs and his sweaty nose touch my soda. So, I bought another $4 soda. Couldn't make myself drink it even though I was thirsty as hell.

So ya.. I don't like cops much. I just seem to get the scummy ones.

Krispy Kreme...don't leave home without them...

You don't see videos of all the good things cops do on a day-to-day basis. You only hear about the bad things. Why? Because bad things are more interesting. The reality is, most cops are good people and serve us quite well.

The cop in this thread was wrong, there is little doubt about that. However for you to hate 'cops', (which to me sounds like a blanket statement) strikes me as quite ignorant.

Yeah, and what about all the good things Hitler did? Cops are for a large part the scum, jock pukes that picked on you in High School looking for a lifetime extension to keep doing it.

comparing hitler and cops? wow.

You need to let go that you were the little wimpy nerd they picked on. really its time to let it go.

While there are some cops that should not be in the job (such as this one) MOST are good people that have a taugh job. Now am i saying you should do everything you are asked? no learn your rights and fallow them.


If you managed to write one of your sentences with proper spelling, punctuation, grammer, or any combination of the three, I would be able to take your rebuttle a little more seriously.

I wasn't comparing Hitler to Police. I was saying that the argument that most police are out to do good is completely ridiculous. If you want to do good and really save lives, be a paramedic or a doctor. Police show up too late to do anything worth a damn, or they miss something important in favor of writing a speeding ticket.

yes both parties, if I was the cop and I mistakenly thought I gave someone a 20, I sure wouldn't care if I was right or wrong, given that she acted inthat way. She's freaking 16 and she dares to yell at a cop, cussing at him, saying "i ain't take yo damn money mother #$%!@" ?? the cop was pissed, I don't think he cared about the 20 bucks anymore, he just wanted to get the little brat and teach her a lesson, but since she got 60k, I'm sure she'll believe she's above the law now.

at no time did she do anything to warrant being sprayed or arrested. it is not that cops job to teach her a lesson. now if she touched him thats a different story but she stayed away from him and just yelled at him.

Correct. She didn't commit a crime, the police can't just arbitrarily arrest people. He had neither a warrant nor was witness to a crime. He had no business telling her she was under arrest. Hell, he shouldn't have even been behind the counter. If a civilian barged behind the counter at a restaurant, the restaurant would be calling the cops to haul them off. This guy abused his position big time. Not only should he be fired, there should be assault charges as well.

maybe your brother was a friggin crimial had something to do with it......maybe you should act professional and deal with the manager instead of yelling out obcenties (creating a public distrubance)...maybe you should just go with the cop and then explain yourself downtown calmly and wait for manager to count drawer to see if drawer is correct... then even allow the cop to search for money and then get a public apology.....or do what a typical loser would do (as she did) and be an asshat and gettign what she deserved.....personally i would of F-ed her world up and claimed she fell on the way to the car

could be just me......although a coworker was just over pissing me off so maybe thats why i'm in such a bad mood

She wasn't talking TO the cop while he was talking to the manager.

As far as I'm concerned, anybody is allowed to talk about anybody in almost any way, it's her right. Whether or not it's tasteful, she's allowed to say what she said about him. TO him is a different matter, then again, being a military brat, I'm used to people talking about higher-ups badly and then showing them respect when being with them.

I know if I was working and just trying to make it through my day and some jerk decided to arrest me, haul me off from work, all because HE IS ABUSING HIS AUTHORITY, I'd be pissed too.

He should be fired, simply because he was wrong. If he was right, he would have said something right when she gave the 'wrong' change. Also, what if this was a case of a cop being a bully? Maybe he's conned other restraunts out of 10 bucks before? You never know, he seemed like a dumb hick to me.

pot kettle black. heh

when knocking down someone's spelling please make sure yours is PERFECT! that way you look like less of an idiot!

edit: Sorry you have had bad luck with the Police. Pity you do not understand that they are doing good and how it would be like if they did not have that job.

Someone is spelling? How would it be like if they did not have that job? They'd be teaching gym or working at Wal-Mart.

So you really think we would be better off without Police officers? I agree the odds are low that they will actually stop a crime in progress. They are there to try to find the person who committed the crime. While not perfect it is the best we got now.

Not all cops are perfect. But i do believe the majority are doing what they believe to be good for the community.

and then rehired...read the rest of the posts

Ya had to ruin it for me... I thought there was an ounce of justice for a second...

Nope not when a union is involved....

Is $60k enough damage to be accused of being a thief, pepper sprayed and led off from your place of business in cuffs?

I would at least want the $60k and the right to kick the officer in the nuts without repercussion if I were her.

This guy gets video footage. Meanwhile, the 100's of 1000's of cops that pour their heart into helping people each day get forgotten.

Yeah, because you should get noticed for being a help. Being a Police officer is an easy enough job for the most part.
