Not all Cops are bad

Just adding a little balance to the anti-cop threads that appear in ATOT. I'm sure some of out posters figured the cops would steal the man's money and leave him in the dark.

<H1>Police help 95-year-old loner, his pension cheques uncashed​

By Lindsay Kines, Times Colonist December 18,



A pair of Victoria police officers played Good Samaritans to a 95-year-old man who was discovered living alone in an apartment without heat or lighting, despite having thousands of dollars in uncashed pension cheques.

get ready.

Last time we had a thread like this, that ATOT assholes flamed the guy for having so much free time and not doing his job.



That being said, those cops deserve a hot cup of coffee, a raise and a hug.

Those were not anti-cop threads. Those asholes didnt deserve to wear badges

 

[waggy]

of course not. i would say 96-97&#37; are good honest cops. you hear about the bad ones because well its not the norm.

 

[Kommander_Kink]

Okay, so 2 cops do ONE good deed BIG DEAL, now what about the 100,000 other sheethead cops who will be harassing working-class people on their way home with fines and tickets and maybe even tazerings?

[sourceninja]

A heart warming story. Those officers should be commended.

Nice to see a thread like this for a change. Granted, there are unfortunately a number of police officers that do things that make me ashamed, but not all officers are bad. Some of them ARE trying to do some good, whether the masses on ATOT choose to believe that or not.

Right.

Now keep in mind that I have a pretty decent arrest record. Nothing that I am proud of, I'm just saying that I have interacted with police a lot more than most people. I've never had a cop treat me unfairly. Heck...most of the time the cop(s) and I were laughing while they were taking me in. And they only took me in when I damn well deserved it.

 

[coloumb]

Well of course they are good cops - they are in CANADA.

Now..if this happened in America - then I'd say look out your windows because pigs would be flying and hell would've frozen over.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

it says they have only been on the job 3 weeks, they havent becomes hardened sociopaths yet. just give them a few years hanging around with other cops....

 

[Saint Nick]

Yes, they are.

This cop was obviously looking for a little glory to cover up his illegal activity.

 

[MarkXIX]

Cops in America do this kind of thing every single day. The problem is, people don't give a shit about it, they believe that it is "just their job" and that they SHOULD do it, even when they don't HAVE to.

The other problem is, your local news station is filled with a bunch of liberal idiots who can't see past their own blind rage to report something like this. That and it doesn't exactly generate the same kind of advertiser response that "Cop beats down idiot for being a moron, news at six!" does.

Don't speed, don't carry around illegal things, don't drive under the influence, and don't be an asshole.

A few simple rules and you won't have a run-in with one of the "100,000 other sheethead cops" and their "harassment."

I'm sure another people were told this as they were being herded into trains, what is the definition of an "asshole" to you? To cops is any citizen that stands up for the rights, like the right to remain silent and refuse unreasonable searches.

Are you white by any chance? lollers :awe:

Right on, this helps a LOT, who are these guys trying to kid anyways? Do you really expect me to believe that a black or hispanic teenager will get a kid's glove treatment from a cop than a middle-aged white guy would get? Yeah right.

You know, seeing your posts tends to irritate me (and others too) since they're usually stupid and wrong but then I realize, I mostly just pity you. I'd hate to be you living in your world. I can never understand how people can be so close-minded and ignorant sometimes. So with that, here's a for you.

To the OP: :thumbsup: to those cops!

I'll add a more little balance to this thread.

NYPD Commissioner and investigators insist man attempted to kill a cop despite video and cell-phone evidence

The city's top cop and the Brooklyn DA engaged in a rare public disagreement the day after a man charged with firing at police was freed by prosecutors who back his "airtight alibi."

NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday that investigators were sticking by their guns that Shane Rhooms is their man.

"The officers still stand by the identification of the individual," Kelly said. "This [decision to free him] is a determination that was made by the district attorney."

But District Attorney Charles Hynes said the evidence is clear Rhooms could not have been the man who opened fire on officers in East Flatbush. The charges against Rhooms, 22, were dropped Tuesday after surveillance footage and cell phone records placed him at a Manhattan concert during the shooting.

"In this case, both the cell phone records and a video with the date and time of a location provided an airtight alibi for the defendant," Hynes said.

Countering Kelly's criticism, Hynes pointed to his record of "vigorously prosecuting and obtaining maximum punishment" for cop killers and people who have assaulted police.

Rhooms faced 45 years to life behind bars if convicted of the Sept. 6 shooting in which a gunman unloaded six shots at three cops in East Flatbush. Cops fired back, but no one was hit and the gunman got away.

Rhooms - who had a prior minor arrest in which he was accused of setting off fireworks - was picked out of mug shots and later out of a lineup by officers.

He spent 18 days in Rikers as prosecutors investigated his defense lawyer's insistence that he didn't do it.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne echoed Kelly's comments, saying investigators remained "confident" Rhooms was their man, even if "the judge and the DA concluded otherwise."

"No information has been developed pointing to anyone else," Browne said.

Rhooms' lawyer Sam Gregory said he could not understand why cops were so adamant.

"I have a great deal of respect for Ray Kelly, but these police officers are obviously wrong," Gregory said.

Nice ass kissing thread there d1gger.

Remember the incident that the cop killed a man in the air port terminal, what about the cop that killed someone in a hit an run incident a 1.5 year ago in Vancouver (he was DUI), or this past year the fucking cops abused people on the street of Victoria. Or, recently that RCMP officer got charged with selling drugs and possessing of stolen drugs and illegal weapons. Theses are just a few that I remember and there are many more. In fact one of my close buddy from high school is a constable in the Victoria cop shop and he is sick of the internal system that is protecting bad cops. And, don't forget the quarrellings between the Esquimalt town council vs. Sannich cops over money and service.

IMHO, there are good cops and bad cops, but today it seems as if many are doing it for the money and not for the good of society.

PS. The cops were doing exactly what they are paid to do in that article. They are not good/bad or are hero. On the other hand there are way too many cops that thinks they are above the laws.

A cop's job description includes helping elderly folks deposit checks into their bank accounts and help them pay bills?

BTW you're pretty much like all of the other naysayers. No matter what news reports might be published here (cop chops off his arm to save a little baby from drowning), you people will still claim he's doing it for the money/fame

Yes, to serve and protect that is what they are paid for.

A RN nurse job description is that they help diagnostic & record patient condition, and drugs administration, but how many times do you see that they step out of their way to physically help a patient and sometimes clean up after them (house keeper & cleaner job)?

They are paid to work with the public, and that is what my tax dollar are for. Not abusing the power that is entrusted in them.

As for helping the populous. I'm sure that most people including myself would do exactly the same thing as those cops with out any momentary gains.

PS. I have help in many soup kitchens and I haven't met one cop that ever donate their time off to help people, and the only time they put in for charities are for money or publicity stunts.
