if I see a traffic stop take ten minutes there will be 4-6 cops cars there coming one at a time. that shows me there are to many cops with nothing to do. so a lot of them could be removed and not change anything for the people in towns or cities. like teachers sanitation road crews etc all these public service jobs get bloated with employees and budgets I call BS. I've never had more than one cop car stop when I was violating a traffic law (usually speeding). Also, I've always been courteous to the officer, and you know what? Lots of times I didn't even get a ticket and, unlike all those criminals that NFL doofuses put on their helmets, I didn't get shot either. Here in Grants Pass, Oregon, a town of less than 40,000 I have seen as many as three cops at one traffic stop. I guess they are bored or scared. Exactly. You choose to live in a locale where 40k is a 'Town'. If they're 'scared', keep in mind that those officers are (generally) drawn from the area they work. Doesn't speak highly to your general population.

I was in Montana for 3 weeks helping a guy that worked for me build a house and I did not see one negroid or one cop. Not surprising. Low Negro population = low cop population.

Here in Grants Pass, Oregon, a town of less than 40,000 I have seen as many as three cops at one traffic stop. I guess they are bored or scared. Where I have worked and in these situations there are generally a couple of reasons. One is the vehicle pulled over might have been involved in a crime or the potential for escalation (suspended license, possible tow) exists and the other officers dutifully back up the primary officer. Deterrence often prevents violent resistance. The other case if if there is nothing going on (oh blessed quiet town where most people control themselves!) and you have no reason not to keep you from backing up the primary officer, you just might be lazy. It is better to be there in a police contact and nothing goes wrong than to be minutes away and something does.

Lots of times I didn't even get a ticket and, unlike all those criminals that NFL doofuses put on their helmets, I didn't get shot either. another guy that gets pulled over lots of times and gets a warning. now that is total bull sh it. You've never been pulled over and issued a warning? Maybe you've never been pulled over? 50 years of driving for me, three speeding tickets, more than a couple of "warnings" usually of the fix the license plate light type. The only time I actually remember having more than one officer arrive was when there were 7 cars and the helicopter circling over me on a case of mistaken identity. And I've had long hair, a beard, earings, wear jeans and jean jackets and such, "felony glasses" (very dark sunglasses) and have had the cops pull a U turn to come check me out just because of the way I and my car looked. I've even been told "if you leave yours in your pocket, I'll leave mine holstered" when I informed the officer I am a CCW holder and was armed when I was last pulled over. Go ahead, call bullscheidt if you choose too, but apparently some of us have different experiences than you do.

I 'd be lucky to get a second copper in less than 15 minutes for backup when a domestic went to schiit when I was still on nights (most of my career). 6 cops is 5 Towns' worth of staff around here most nights. George Sounds like our area. 13 Deputies (total, not per shift) serve a 4200 square mile county Divide that by 3 shifts per day = 4 deputies at any given time. Or 1 deputy per 1000 sq miles. Of course, in town there is the city police, and we do have some CHP here, all will respond to an officer's request for assistance. But, it may take awhile depending on who is on duty and where they happen to be. If an officer is needed in the NE or SE corner of the county at one of the small communities out there, they better hope the officer is already on the other side of the 6300' pass and it's summer time. Otherwise, response time might be on the order of an hour +, not counted in minutes. If one wants to get to the little community in the SW corner of the county and wishes to take a paved road instead of USFS roads, one must leave our county, drive 20 or so miles through the neighboring county, then 10 miles back north to the little "town" We do not have an excess of LE presence here, and most folks here kind of like it that way......................until one is in dire need. It might just be one of the reasons we here can get a CCW relatively easily for this State.

I've been pulled over and I told the cop I'm carrying. He replied, so am I.

As with many other things that the left has came up with, it seems like the leftist women lead the charge. Caucasian leftist women seem particularly vocal in calling for the abolition of police.
It makes me wonder.
When women work to defund and abolish the police, do they deserve to be protected by anyone? This whole thing is a militant enforcement of the maternal instinct.

I was raised to look out for women, and not strike them, they've changed ALL that. i still won't strike one , but some won't get a civil word from me.

Out here the police are a county Sheriff and his deputies. If you don't cause trouble you never know they're around. Nobody around here causes problems.
They're some dirtbag types floating around the county but not many and the cops know who they are. The cops spend their energy keeping the few dirtbags in check.
The country road I live on has a bit of traffic in the afternoon when a couple of nearby factories change shifts. Some people were pushing it pretty fast and somebody called the Sheriff. They sent a deputy out and passed out a few tickets. People slowed down, the deputy went on about his other business.
That's the policing business out here in rural America.

I've been pulled over and I told the cop I'm carrying. He replied, so am I. Same for me, he said " If you dont pull yours out, I wont pull mine out, neither of us will go home with an extra hole". I told him that sounded like a helluva deal. Real nice young guy , saw me drift over into the rumble strip and thought he would see if we were OK.

GRANTS PASS is the meth capitol of the PNW and a general crap hole. No wonder multiple vehicles show up during a car stop Grants Pass property crime is 77.7. (The US average is 35.4) if I see a traffic stop take ten minutes there will be 4-6 cops cars there coming one at a time. that shows me there are to many cops with nothing to do. so a lot of them could be removed and not change anything for the people in towns or cities. like teachers sanitation road crews etc all these public service jobs get bloated with employees and budgets I call BS. I've never had more than one cop car stop when I was violating a traffic law (usually speeding). Also, I've always been courteous to the officer, and you know what?

Here in Grants Pass, Oregon, a town of less than 40,000 I have seen as many as three cops at one traffic stop. I guess they are bored or scared. Where I have worked and in these situations there are generally a couple of reasons.
