Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Lets mess with the police...

From where did the idea originate that, unless one is or has been a cop, one hasn't, in NH's words, experienced the "real world," but (to use his words further) has only engaged in "academic masturbation from the safety of [one's] living room/office/classroom." Nothing better illustrates, I suppose, the arrogance cop work infuses in one. And they wonder why folks increasingly resent them.

You told George there were stories you could tell. The context of your statement strongly implied that they'd be really good stories.

It's not nice to tease. Let's have a couple.

Stop being so damned insistant.....he is just taking his time so that he can use the net to research the facts on someone Else's story.


...and then pass it off as his own particular brand of bull.

I'll chime in that I've met a few of the LEO's here - and "arrogant" is simply not an appropriate adjective. To a man they are great, down to earth guys. The guys who stick in the job, dealing with the stress, drama, and danger tend to be people of well balanced personality.

The police have no idea of the gut wrenching feeling that being stopped engenders in the average person.

"Cops", at least around my way, don't bother so much with bikes and alot of cops are bikers anyway.

I dunno, Pat. I'm pretty sure this one's got a mean streak a mile wide. If'n you catch him when he's not fishing, hunting, shooting or napping, I hear he can be as nasty as a damned snake.

Laffin'! There you go again (still) with the twisting and dodging. Most have come to expect nothing less, though. That is why, for me, you have next to no credibility. Here is my entire quote:

"Your attempt at being smug amuses me, but it's pointless. The fact is, I'm representative of the vast majority of LEOs in my AO. I know that must stick in your craw, but it's the simple truth.

Experience backs up my words, but I know that's a concept you're not familiar with. It's much easier, and safer, to eperience academic masturbation from the safety of your living room/office/classroom.

Damn that real world....."

That doesn't state, or even imply, that one has to be a cop to experience the "real world". There are those that will never see a uniform that are much more experienced than I will ever be.

Note the words "you", "you're" and "your", please. Those might be a hint.....

Plenty of guys on here have actually met me (that real world thing again). The majority aren't cops. Ask any of them if arrogance is an adjective they would use about my personality.

Your smug, dodging manner that draws nothing from actually doing something is indicative of the modern day academic. And they wonder why folks increasingly resent and have no use for them.

We know you haven't experienced the real world other than in a drug induced haze lingering from your hippie days. Enlighten us more on your answers to the worlds problems from the safety of your keyboard...probably the same place you pedophile teachers get into chat rooms to solicit young kids. I saw that on the news. Same place I saw another HS teacher took a student to a hotel for the night and another, in his 50's was involved in a love story (according to his attorney) with a 16 year old student. True story. You teachers disgust me.

Umm, mate.....that is one hell of a generalization there!.....not all teachers are peds, the same as not all blokes are rapists.

You may want to save the vitriol for the filth that actually are guilty.

He drives pitbulls crazy, too...

JEEZE, ya think? Well said.

I thought teachers made their "bones" by bagging a sophomore....
