if it comes down to MY *** or YOUR’s it is going to be MINE that I cover.
With your attitude, I bet thisis a full time job!!
Yes after being sued 3 times on bogus allegations, and the judge laughing as he threw them out,,, I am now glad to see that officers are now suing the individuals that make false allegations against them and winning.
but as we see this thread is now way off track... I am outta here....
This has gotten to deep for me. Its obvious that we have two sides. One side, us cops, dealing with the other side, law offenders, and neither the two shall meet...
Unfortunate, but probably true. The problem is that on Monday morning, every QB in the world is better than the person that put on his pads and went onto the field. It is times like this, when those who watch find fault with those who do, that I am reminded of a quote from Mr. Roosevelt: ""...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done." (1891)"
My brother has been a volunteer fire fighter for over 20 years and one of his aquaintences is a LEO. This guy told him the following story.
He would make regular stops of drunk induhviduals and the answer to the question "How much have you had to drink tonight?" was always the same "A couple". So he decided that the first person that ever told him the truth he would take him home. So for quite a while after it was the same thing over and over. Then one day he pulls over a man and he is pretty wasted. He asks the man how much he has had to drink. The guy pulls up a whiskey bottle thats about half full and looks at it and then at the LEO and holds it up and says "about a half a bottle!" So true to his word. He puts the man in his car has the mans car towed and he takes him to his home and gets him inside after warning him not to do it again.
I really have a lot of respect for you that are LEO's and I do say thanks. You deal with the induhviduals that usually are the worst part of society. I tried to become a Sherrifs Deputy reserve but was eventually turned down due to some of my extra curricular activites that were over 20 years ago. I felt that they made a bad choice there because I would know what to look for and how to recognize certain behaviours having been there. Most of the things that I did were experimental and nothing more and perhaps I worded a couple things wrong. At any rate you guys see a lot of the worst of things and that usually is not much fun and wears a person down.
Thanks for all that you do to keep the rest of us safe!
These sound like the good old days. In these crazy times we live in now, right after the cop left the guy he'd probably get back in a cardrunkand crash into somebody and hurt/kill them. Then he'd tell everybodyyour buddy gave him a ride home drunk and they'd fire him, sue him and ruin his life. No good deed goes unpunished.....

I am working a DUI checkpoint Saturday night with 2 other agencies. This time we took no bikers to jail for dui. But the funny thing is this one a$$hole comes through… YOU KNOW THE TYPE… he has the Harley addition Ford pickup with Harley stickers all over it, he steps out in Harley boots, the Harley shirt, and a non faded leather vest with tones of Harley patches.. it goes on and on with the Harley stuff. And wouldn’t you know he was the biggest *#$)@# of all the whole night. But when I go and ask him what he rides he couldn’t come up with an answer..
To just make my night I had to tow his prideNjoy Harley (PU), that might have been driven home by the big mouth fat lady in the front seat. Except she had to start mouthing off. Thank good for the little law known as public intox. and I get to take all 3 away
This guy never had a chance. You labeled him a pretend harley rider. Guess that was ESP on your part huh? you called him a ahole right off, towed his truck when you admit his wife could have driven it home, then you had to throw in a slur about her weight. A drunk should be arrested and taken to jail, but he should not be treated any different because of how he dress's or your personal likes or dislikes. You sir are the reason a lot of us law abiding citizens have no use for some of you. I thought police were the good guys when I was a kid, guys like you blew that preception out of the water as I got older. These days some of you so called peace officers are no better than the people they police. "YOU KNOW THE KIND" Im sure. The true and good LEO's that read your story should be ashamed of your boasting about your actions. Flame on boyz, if you feel the need. IM done.
