You hate most (99.99999%) cops. People you know (if cops) would be trusted even less based solely on your disdain for cops. Takes on a life form for you. You wax on and on about all these atrocities committed by cops and paint them all with the same ugly brush. Do you hate surgeons who cut into healthy bodies for greed or prestige and think they suck equally ? You really go into prisons and "preach the word of God" ? Wow..!!!!!!!
Yeah, I know. It's a life form for them too.

OK. We got "Escape From the Hutterites Colony" starring Kurt Russell and Barak's Woman. She's tired of pluckin' gooses and will do anything to get out ... and she does.  They have to hijack a "money buggy" in order to have enough barter for Amish machine guns to totally blow away the Elders : ala The Matrix. Barak has a minor role as the "English" who helps put it all together.

You hate most (99.99999%) cops. I don't hate any cops. I don't hate rattlesnakes, I don't hate leeches, heck--I don't even hate politicians. There's no percentage in it; it doesn't pay. But I'm careful around cops, because they're dangerous.

Even with pause on your side, you can't muster honesty.

I don't recall reading any hatred of police on *this* thread
A general distrust, an acknowledgement its a thankless job, questionable comparisons between professions, ridiculous assertions and assumptions, yes,
but not hatred.
I think everyone recognizes there is a need for the police - but it also comes with the caveat that as citizens we are allowed to question the judgement of those that wear the badge. That is true of just about every public servant. We question politicians, teachers, heck even firemen (remember letting the guys house burn down because he let a yearly fee slip?). Policemen are no exception. It doesn't need to be said, but unlike the other professions, the police have the capacity to detain, incarcerate, hurt, maim or even take your life. When citizens see the police acting out in a manner that is questionable - in this case, a pursuit that appears to endanger the public at large more than protect them then they take note of that.
When citizens see a policeman turn on his siren only to realize he did it to get around traffic, when they hear of cops letting other cops off for off duty offenses, when they see police using tasers , not in place of a gun or a baton but as a means of compliance because they have replaced the taser with their capacity for patience, when we see them take away video cameras for filming them do their job - if the power is abused at any level, it creates a barrier, a slippery slope of trust.
And vehemently defending police actions many in the general citizenry don't approve of in a blanket attempt to defend all LEO's only hurts the situation.

but not hatred. True enough. I think everyone recognizes there is a need for the police - but it also comes with the caveat that as citizens we are allowed to question the judgement of those that wear the badge. Some of us believe there's no need for government police, that private police would do the job better and more efficiently and there'd be much less trouble with the public. But the job needs doing, yes. When citizens see the police acting out in a manner that is questionable - in this case, a pursuit that appears to endanger the public at large more than protect them then they take note of that. Yup, although the cop chasing the motorcyclist for popping a wheelie did much more dangerous things than this one. When citizens see a policeman turn on his siren only to realize he did it to get around traffic, when they hear of cops letting other cops off for off duty offenses, when they see police using tasers , not in place of a gun or a baton but as a means of compliance because they have replaced the taser with their capacity for patience, when we see them take away video cameras for filming them do their job - if the power is abused at any level, it creates a barrier, a slippery slope of trust. You mean, "replaced their capacity for patience with the Taser," right? And vehemently defending police actions many in the general citizenry don't approve of in a blanket attempt to defend all LEO's only hurts the situation.
Yep. Same general mechanism as a group desperately trying outlaw a behavior the majority of the population sees no harm in, such as smoking marijuana.

I know you're generation would have ran that [bleep] off the road, and beat him with a PR-24, but our generation decided he will be just fine and dandy the way he is.
Are you proud of us?
Travis Yeah, proud of most of you guys that have to mess with no tellin' how many weirdos and just plain idiots but have to wonder about a bunch of the unaware PC types that brew up a lot of the goofy rules.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
