Good Cop!! DONUT!!!!!!

[Arkaign]

This may have been done before, but I think it's time to do it again. For those that pay attention, I'm no cop apologist when one gets caught doing something stupid/terrible.

So, here's a thread to say thanks to the majority of the cops who do good, honest, hard work, not always for very good pay either!

This link has some cop stories that will actually make you smile rather than cringe :

Happy Holidays to the good guys in blue!




A plea from OP : please keep this thread from turning into a flame war. We already know that there are some DB cops out there, but that goes for any profession

Is this in response to the "Cops are a JOKE!: thread?

Hah, that cop looked exactly like my buddy JP, even talked the same. Nice guy.

Yeah I don't think most people realize how difficult it truly is to act like that. He's assessing the situation, being polite, and keeps his mouth moving at the same time to make it seem like a real conversation.

Great gesture, let me join in. I've known a number of really great cops, guys doing a tough, often frustrating job at a level WAY over what they were getting compensated for -- just some really good guys who never let the power go to their heads.

The bad ones stick out like sore thumbs and are what grab the headlines and get disproportionately remembered by people, but I have truly known quite a few that I've witnessed doing their job with an even-handed equanimity, reserve and patience and with a wise, deft understanding of the human psyche that has left me in awe of their ability to do so. :thumbsup:

Those guys were annoying as fuck.

I'm surprised the cop could be so cordial.

Fortunately, the very few times I had to interact with the police I've dealt with good cops.

Cheers for this thread.

My last encounter with LEO was when I was caught going 87mph on I-95, (70 limit), not much traffic that day and I was in a rush to get home. Rather than start blaming everything besides myself and showing respect for the FHP officer he gave me a break and only wrote me for 79 in a 70, an 87 in a 70 would be close to a $275 ticket he explained, not the $115 one I got, sometimes a little courtesy and not acting out can help a lot..

And in your first link on that page, some cop is killed over a parking space. Wow....you're smiling at that?

Yeah....pretty good, but it was Illinois....not NYC or somewhere that the crazies congregate like Florida.

They say there have been a lot of hate groups forming out in the desert lately, but cops haven't been too worried since it's a dry hate.

That is how it should be ... but you can tell what the cop is trying to do. He's trying to read them for anything weird, and if something was 'weird', he's do "something" about it... I am not cop, but that's my guess, haha.

 

[TwiceOver]

Marked.

 

[BurnItDwn]

mmmm Donut!

That said, the few cops that I've met in Wauconda all seem like stand up guys and gals. I'd say I run into one about 1 out of every 5 or 6 times I fill my gas tank in town.

This is what I noticed.

Definitely not.

I probably should have worded it differently. That is what I meant by 'some' links, rather than all of them.

I meant the links full of awesome like these :

"Simone, 60, pulled off his shirt, unfastened his body armor, gun belt, radio and stun gun and jumped in the Cuyahoga River about midnight Saturday, after the woman was unable to grasp a life preserver.

"I couldn't watch her die," he said Sunday from his home, still recovering from hypothermia. "
