First of all, most Americans are inclined to believe that the recent spate of police officers shot in the last week are the result of either criminals gone wild, or a symptom that supports the gun grabber position that America needs to be disarmed.
Most of us are well aware of the existence of "quotas" surrounding the issuing of traffic violations. The video that follows brings to light that it isn't just traffic violations anymore in one American town, and I am sure this is a lot more wide spread than any of us cares to admit.
Are municipalities across this country doing the same, in direct violation of the Constitution?

If you think it's bad now, it going to get worse. Every day our stupid lawmakers make new laws (unneeded) to increase police arresting powers. Next time you're in a crowd of people and your just talking, ask the question, what do you think of the present cops? I have ask this question several times. You can't believe who and how many people despise cops. The new burr cut, bald paramilitary cops. Also ask how many people in that crowd of people who have had personal run in with smart ass, bully cops, practically everybody. Have you?
I can remember how the cops were back when I was a teenager. You never had a problem with them unless you really hard to cause trouble. But now they make problems, they beat you up, tear up your property up, they make a lot of unlawful arrests and then kill a large group of people every year and and get away with murder. It's their and their buddies word against their dead victim.
Here's something, try to find how many people cop kill each year. You can't. They claim they don't keep record of the killings. Sure they don't, my ass.
The meaner and brutal they get the more of them are going to be killed. You can shove and beat people so many times before they fight back. I know of nothing that can be done about it because the lawyers and the judges are in on it too.
Our judicial system is really sick and corrupt.
Never had a negative run-in with a police officer in a one-on-one situation.
In fact, all have been very helpful when asked for assistance.
Most of my friends and colleagues say the same thing.
Same here.
My brother was a police officer. Died in the line of duty. I will never say anything negative about police officers, firefighters, teachers, or nurses.
What I posted here I believe is a symptom of the shrinking revenue stream most municipalities are encountering.
As a result, this increases pressure from the various administrations to look for new ways to generate revenue, and increases expectations from traditional sources for revenue to generate more.
Police forces are most likely being pressured to step up enforcement of laws that, when violations are found, generate revenue.
My example is but one red flag that this is taking place. I suspect there are more. . .

Yes, and I expect that more and more of them will eventually reach the threshold of morality that forces them to do as the officer in question did. . . :yes:

I glad you haven't and won't have a run in with a smart mouth and bully cop. Well the three cops I have dealings with and I got unfair tickets, they were just collecting money. They even made it easy for me, they gave me a self address envelope to send the money and ticket in. How nice of them.
But how bad do cops have to be for them to take 17 people off of death row in Illionis and release them because of bad police work and poor prosicution.

You won't huh, even the the 4 cops that shot a guy 24 times in New York City when the tried to pull out his billfold. Or the cop in Indianapolis that killed a motorcyclist with a blood alcohol content of 1.8. Or the cop in Anderson that killed the guy, shooting him in the chest twice, because the comb he had in his hand look like a gun.

You really need to step up to the plate and demonstrate a little humanity and compassion toward those whose singular purpose is to serve and protect us, and their families.
Olias is my friend, and one who lost a biological brother who took on the responsibility to serve and protect. Not every individual who chooses a life in the service of a community or state in a law enforcement role is a jack booted thug. In fact, the majority of them are themselves caring and compassionate people who accept the role and its inherent dangers willingly, only because protecting the lives, rights, and property of others is their passion in life. Sure, there are exceptions but those of us who judge them all by the actions of the one or the few, are ourselves demonstrating our ignorance.
Moreover, it has not been that long ago that Olias and his family lost a brother, son, uncle, father, (i do not know if he had children or a family of his own so I am assuming the latter), who was struck down while serving and protecting the public he loved; and that pain is, I am sure, just as powerful and hurtful as it was on the day it happened. The fact that he died a public hero does nothing to dull the pain that comes with such a sudden and tragic loss of life. Nonetheless, I remain thankful for his life, his work, his passion and his sacrifice for the career that took his life; for although he may not have worked in my community, his efforts made the lives of those who I love, the people of this country, safer for his being there.
PLease, think before you continue to tap dance across the wounds of the family of a fallen hero. . .
Fascinating.
Troll is actually the smug, unctuous, snobbish jerk that he accuses others of being, especially the "over educated" ones.
Has a serious envy problem, and is too dense to see his own problems.
His evaluation, gained from small samples of his "life experience" is the only test of the truth of a given statement or situation. Typical.
No compassion, just happy with eating well and playing with his toys. Emotionally two years old; three, max.

Just where in hell did say anything about his brother. I did not say anything about him. I'm sorry he died. Sure there are good cops, tho I haven't seen too many. Most of the cops don't take the job to be a service to all mankind. No, they like guns, cuffs, power over people and most are bullies and nibshits.
It tickles how all of the assholes come out to take me on for some so called slam Take what I say out of context. Just like I follow the wolf. Old Wolfie doesn't know one damn thing about me, but he sure can come up with some damn fool names. Like uneducated, heartless, cruel, snobbish, smug, dense, envy problems. Wolfie you're the damn jerk. If you think I'd trade my place in life for yours, your self love and all of your over educated buddies, you're out of your freeking mind. I just can't stand self important assholes. What's your title Wolfie.
When you think about it all of the problems we have here in American and who's running it. It's the over educated college people and college educated lawyers. They got the country wrapped up and won't give it up until they kill America.
Wolfie you just set back and cut ass and don't say anything that amounts to a damn thing. You sure haven't proved to me that you're some kind of a brain trust. :genius:
I think the value of being a hero is under valued. Saying all cops, firemen and soldiers are heros. They were paid, paid to train and paid to do their job. IT THEIR JOBS NOTHING ELSE. In war it take 7 to 8 people to serve one combat soldier. It takes more to serve one fighter pilot on a aircraft carrier. And they are all payed to do their jobs. To be a hero is to go beyond your station in life, something you're not train for. Like the men and women in the shooting in Arizona who brought the gunman down, it wasn't their job.

When you make blanket statements that are interpreted as all inclusive, then you are saying it about every single man and woman who puts on the badge. It is VERY easy to see how one who has experienced the ultimate sacrifice of a family member in the line of duty would be offended by such statements.
The fact is every single
dedicated and
honest police officer in this country detests the law breaking element amongst them just as much as anyone else does.

It takes a college education to qualify to hold the offices and positions that contribute to the path of this country moving forward. THAT is a minimum qualification. They are not all right, and they are not all wrong either, they make mistakes and commit crimes in some cases. They are human. An education provides them with the tool necessary to be successful, but it doesn't automatically mean they know how to properly use them does it. . .

Heroism has as many levels as one can imagine. It typically is based upon the perspectives of those who are viewing or considering the act or acts of a given individual or group of individuals.
There are heroes that risk their lives in defense of their brothers in arms within the military - the more traditional translation for the term.
There are heroes that work silently at clerical, administrative tasks that serve to assure the quality of life of those who need their work in order to receive their livelihood. - You rarely if ever hear about them, but they persist none the less.
There are the heroes that are our neighbors who provide us support in our time of great need or sorrow.
There are heroes that work on a voluntary basis to provide for those who cannot do for themselves, or need a hand up. You almost never hear about them either.
There are heroes who drop off food or necessities on a family's porch, ring the bell, and leave without the recipient ever knowing from whom the gift came from.
And there are heroes that choose to accept the very real and ever present risk that their life will be cut short in the performance of their duty to secure the safety and well being of people they do not even personally know, and do so willingly. Yes, they are paid to do so, but the very fact that they choose to accept that risk and live with it every single day, is in itself heroic; for just how many of us are willing to do so for someone we do not even know, no matter how much we would be paid for doing it?
Heroism does not only exist within war, but within each and every aspect of life on this earth. It takes many forms, and the sacrifices it requires more often than not is taken for granted; if they even recognized at all.
The problem is not that the term is applied to many different situations or jobs, but is within the tunnel vision humanity demonstrates in the interpretation of the term, and its failure to recognize it when they see it.
Hey troll,
My title? I don't think much about titles, but I think I've had a few.....
farmer
hide trimmer
mix man/extruder operator
die setter
maintenance man
bartender/waiter
cook
moving man
sports reporter
trackhoe operator
truck driver
intelanalyst
police officer
corrections officer
property manager
researcher
Some were for short periods of time; others, longer.
I don't spend a lot of time explaining my opinions or providing a bibliography because it would be a bus man's holiday -- I don't come here for that.
Moreover, I've been here for quite a spell. My thoughts have been well cataloged by the other long-timers here. I won't justify myself or those conclusions to a person who spends most of his time in "ass cutting" himself -- just a bit hypocritical, don't you think?
The only reason I am posting any of this is to tell you that others besides you have managed to overcome humble beginnings to accomplish interesting things.
But we aren't bitter about those better educated than us. We went back and got those degrees, paying for them ourselves with some of the jobs that carry the "titles" listed above.
The education one has is not the sole determinant of one's character; there are jerks that are educated and those that aren't.
Neither does it depend on the toys we own.
Who we are depends upon how we examine life and how we want to live it with those around us.

You believe what you want, but all of this heroism is really a new thing. Just like giving kids trophies just for showing up and adults getting off their ass. But if you are fighting a fire and your under a porch that's on fire and it falls on you that stupid not being a hero. Or a cop that runs and sticks his head and body in a car when the perp is driving away, that stupid and not being a hero or chasing a guy that runs off from a speeding ticket and chases him through the city at 90 miles per hour is stupid not a hero defending the public. In fact it kills many people every year.
I still would like to know how many people are killed by cops each year. Shooting, forced entries, and speed chases.

Couldn't make it as a cop and a corrections officer. Man, that's really bad. But it gives me an idea of where your coming from.
Me, I cut grass for people starting a 8, $1 per yard. Hire hand for a farmer at 14 for 66 cents per hour. At 15 sacked groceries for 50 cents per hour. At 15 meat cutter and meat counter kid for 89 cents per hour. At 16 Green house work, flower arrangement and weddings, $1 per hour. At 18 glass worker, ware tester. 88cents per hour. 19, Ford motor Co. $1.88 per hour, laid off the entire shift. 19, Guide Lamp $1.50 per hour assemblyman work 89 days laid off. Back to green house $1 per hour. At 20 back to Ford Motor Co. $1.88 per hour. The United States Army $88 per month. Back at Ford got an apprenticeship. Worked for 38 straight years and the day I retired I was making $21 per hour and that was 14 years ago and the best year I had was $89,000. Not to bad for some dumb ass. :biggrin: Oh yes, I do like my toys, what the matter don't you have any. You can't have any of mine, unless you pay for them. Damn it nice to be retired on a Ford Pension and all of the toys and campers. :bliss: :bliss: :bliss: :bliss:

No, just moved on to places that suited my interests more. Research.
And, from your posts describing how very, very proud you are of your toys, it is obvious that you prize them beyond everything else.
That is sad.
And from your post about being trapped in a truck, you have made yourself very transparent.
Your motto is: "If Troll didn't do it, it wasn't worth doing."
I used to think that you were just a crusty old curmudgeon who has poor people and language skills.
It is now apparent that you are a giant ego, and if you don't like someone or something, no one else should either.
Surrounded by toys and trying to act like you are enlightened while eating well.

Yes Wolfie, I got my toys and a lot of big boy toys. I one I really liked was my airplane and the gyrocopter I built. One of the great days in my life was the day I solo the plane. What a hell of a good feeling. Building my own gyrocoper and flying it, what a great feeling when I lifted of the ground and took it up to pattern altitude, 400 feet and flew the pattern and then landed it. Then flying it, in the air 65 hours. Plus it was OKed by the FAA on quality build. But you know I worked two jobs to pay for my toys and I deserved everyone of them. But there is one thing I can say about people like you, you people sure give me a pain in the ass. A Catbird sitting in the catbird tree. Meow, Meow, Meow. :rotfl:
But one thing I didn't have to do was set around and read what everyone else has got and done and write it down for someone to lazy to find it for themselves. Then I find out one of your big things to do is to order out some chicken wings from the local beer joint. What a life and you try to make fun of me. Get a life Old Man. :kiss: :kissit:

Kind of screams about some deficiency somewhere that you're trying to convince yourself that "things" will somehow fulfill.
Constantly trying to prove you're good enough.
Just who are you trying to convince?
Personally, I don't care -- really, the only person who has to make that definition is you.
But, seems to me, the people you want to impress with your massive accumulations of material wealth have passed on.
You'll never be able to convince them of your huge worth on earth.

Oh great hide trimmer, you're a sick boy. Just what defines you? I'll guess not much. :rotfl:
I have no massive accumulation of material wealth. But I have had many enjoyable toys and experiences. The jobs you have had and the lack of things you have experienced or accomplished seems minuscule compared with the other average men in America. That alone would be for you quite an erection killer. :o
It sounds like a when you were a kid, your dad had to tie a pork chop around your neck to get the dog to play with you. :wink: Or at the kissing booth the girls gave you a dollar to go away. :biggrin:
Just keep thinking what you're thinking until you hear your own voice in your head with the other voices you have in there. :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :suck: :suck: :suck: :suck: :kiss: :seeya2: :dam: This is fun, tho no fail fight with the handicapped. :salute:
Pretty much says what you're all about:
Pissing and moaning and calling names at people about whom you don't have an inkling of understanding.
Lack of compassion toward a fellow zone member who lost a family member.
Calling names when you have no response.
Trying to convince others here about how much you have accomplished equals inadequacy.
Then trying those junior high one-liners because you really never learned how to control yourself in a discussion, so you resort to that when you have inadequate skills.
Very transparent.
What defines me? Simple. What I have done for my family, my friends and others, most of whom I didn't know, but who benefited from what I did in those jobs.
(And, by the way, if you really knew what you were talking about, you might have noticed that some of them weren't just your ordinary run-of-the-mill occupations.)
Sad for you is turning to pathetic.
Oh what a pompous ass. Line three, totally wrong another figment of your mind blowing stupidity. Just one of the many stupid ass holes in America. The names I use fit the bill for some people who need it. Why be nice. Why because they love the attention, cause they keep coming back.
I tried to be nice to you some time back and tried to answer some of your post in a nice kind way, nice and polite. You came back with, "Are you trying to be my friend, do you want someone that cares, who cares if you hurt you back, crybaby." Well, jerk your not worth it and your definitely not on my list to be nice to in any way. I could say, just die, but I won't. :kissit:
As far as you jobs, I watch "Dirty Jobs" on TV and watch the people that do them and their intelligences, I see you fitting in. Why do them, unless that's all your qualified for. :biggrin: It still tickles that you couldn't make it as a cop or at least a lowly prison guard. After reading you posts, damn you would be good. As cop go these day. Maybe even a SWAT Sniper. :rifle: Or tear gas, pepper spray, flash bang thrower. :biggrin:
Looks like I hit a few nerves there.
You are actually the most humorous when you don't know it.
Every time you respond, you dig a deeper hole.
You're welcome.

Just remember Oh Humorous one. If you ever get in trouble and you're drowning in a hogs shit pond or worse and the only number you have is the Troll's. Don't call, cause I won't come, I'll just laugh. :rotfl: :rotfl:
I rest my case.
