We now return to our regularly scheduled PA Forums. Please let me (Hahnsoo1) know if something isn't working. The Holiday Forum will remain up until January 10, 2025.

I don't think I'm much of an asshole.

WE BUILT THIS SOAPBOX ON
AND
I uuh... agree with rank on this one?
I've met some who were complete jerks. one of em drove my friend home for walking to another friends house 2 minutes before the end of curfew, he was like 2 steps from the lawn at the time.
another time my truck broke down and there was a cop who drove me to the store (quite a ways off) to pick up some things to fix it enough to get me home, then had someone check up on me after 5 minutes to make sure we were ok.
that doesn't even make sense
And am all for a revolution.
edit: his name is rockman in japan shoe
Most of the dicks were the officers, namely the fuckin' bailiff.
Motherfucker wouldn't shut up about the time he was on "Michigan Out of Doors".
see, people like you should all be put on an island without cops. you'd all kill/rape each other and us sane people can live in a world without your dickery.
although its entirely possible you were sarcastic
IE
they do illegal things
mala in se
lol latin
You don't make sense.
Yeah.
I am of the belief that some people just need a bullet in the head
isn't grant morrison writing it now?
Not entirely true. My father was stopped for absolutely no reason once, and had a goddamned door slammed on his arm. A lot of mistrust and hate towards cops is born of misuse of power.
traffic cops, for example
they know two things, and two things only
Write the world a ticket, and look good doing it
They often forget which one of these duties takes priority
And I've never met a traffic cop who has denied this
I've been on both sides. I used to hate every fuckin pig in blue that oppressed my fellow working class brother.
And then I got a job where I have to work very, very closely every day with rednecks and cops, my sworn mortal enemies. Universal karma in action right there.
And I've found that a good majority of cops are pretty decent guys. And probably a quarter, maybe less, of them are dickshits with ego problems that want to live above the law. And they give the rest of them a bad name, which is a shame.
is this as a result of studying criminology or just a personal opinion?
I'm just curious.
EDIT: Yeah, Rank, one of the worst things about this is that it drastically damages people's trust in the police, when in many cases they are trustworthy people.
now you see why I used the qualifier "usually"
yeah I think so
I meant actual beat hippies with nightsticks authority though
I know. Just sayins'.
it's just that the idiots are louder than the good ones
oh, this is just personal
I'm actually pretty much a Rational Theory criminalist with a little bit of Labeling Theory
they are pretty freakin rad.
i had some once until i destroyed the straps with my huge feet
You can take care of riots (not that this was a riot) with some gummi clubs, police on horses and a water cannon just fine.
For the record, I think the police are absolutely necessary and we'd be fucked without them, but it's reprehensible that some (if only a few) of them do what they do.
it's actually from the gap
What I'm trying to say is that unless the cops come into your house kick your dog then fuck your mother they are probably helping more than they are hurting.
