Police officers protect us? I call bullshit. They come to our home AFTER it has been robbed. They talk to women AFTER they've been raped. They don't protect a damn thing. Guns, on the other hand, do protect us.
Anyway, I've been pulled over and harassed no less than 4 times the last 4 months. (1 per month average...as far as I see it, its not bad because these guys are pricks and it could be worse.)
What did I get pulled over for? NOTHING. Sure, they gave me a ticket anyway (no front license plate) but that's not what they saw was wrong with my car before pulling me over. The jackass entered the wrong license plate into the computer and told me "Your plates are coming up with a different car." Police make mistakes just like anyone else, right... but they are such assholes about it. They have to somehow look for something to nail you with so they still seem like Billy-Bad-asses.
I felt like telling the last one, "Look at me. Are you a fucking rookie? I'm white. Do you understand this? Look...I have warm food in the car I just got from Taco Bell. Do I look like I'm up to no good? Can't you take this hint as a sign that possibly I am going to EAT and not rob somebody? Go racial profile someone and quit with the bullshit, jackass."
Of course, he'd probably shoot me in the face and take the revolver with the scratched out serial numbers out of his jacket and toss it into the seat next to me. If he wasn't that violent, he would probably resort to the "Look what we found here." pot bag toss into the back seat of the car.
I've called the police recently on a few issues...and always I'm given attitude on the other line. The next time I see someone kneeling in a busy street yelling "I want to die" and cars beeping their horns and hitting their brakes...I'm keeping my mouth shut. A part of me inside wants the fucker to be flattened anyway, but the other "law abiding concerned person" side of me called the police. That side of me does not exist anymore. Fuck the police...when they die in a shootout, I will celebrate from now on. Just another asshole that is dead that would have given me a ticket for having a burned out license plate light in the "good" part of town, while there are blatant drug deals going on elsewhere in town, on the "bad" side.
Fucking police. I don't need their help, and in all my years cannot recall when they actually did help. They can't direct traffic for shit after an accident, they never find the guy who stole your shit, and they harass you for minor vehicle infractions.
Damn, if I get it this bad and I'm WHITE I'd like to see what the blacks & mexicans get. Oh yeah... The "law" doesn't go to their side of town.
If there are any law enforcement people on this site, I hope you aren't one of these typical pricks. Not ALL cops are like this, but definitely way too many. A "real" cop would have pulled me over checked me out, then probably said something to the effect of "Have a nice night, be careful there are a lot of drunks out this time of night." after making sure I wasn't one of them.
Do police get a class in common sense? Probably not. But they take extra classes on how to be a bigger asshole.
On one hand I should cut them some slack because there are too many bullshit laws for them to enforce. But fuck it...if they can't weed out the ones that matter, then they deserve to be laying face down on the side of the road with calls of "officer down" going over the police-band radio.
The picture below I found says it all... A typical cop thinks they are above the law because they enforce the law. They will do 120 MPH to catch you for doing 10 over if they have to. Fucking jerks. (This guy probably thought that a blocked road and warning signs did not apply to him.)
Protect and Serve, my ass. I have never been helped by a cop in my entire life, and I hate every last one of them. I don't give a fuck if one of your parents is a cop, I hope that fucking pig gets shot in the face.
