Wow this thread is going to start another **** storm. Now it will be between the F.T.P.ers and those who kinda sympathize with police tactics. I'm gonna keep an eye on this one and just chill.

 

Poster 2 is just pissed off at the police for writing him many tickets.

Fireman are the real heros?? C'mon. He just hates the police for no reason, IMO. Yeah, there are a lot of cops that are messed up, but then again there is just as many or even more that are cool. I bet next time he has an accident or something bad happens, he will call the fireman and file a report. I don’t really even want to read what else he has to say. I can’t change the fact that he is one of those FTPers.

I support all police tactics, all the time. For me the Police officers are the real heros. They are the ones that get shot at and put their lives on the line for all of us. If they were not out there, all the cagers would probably do whatever the hell they felt like (not just cagers, EVERYBODY). They are the ones dealing with the drunks, drug addicts, mentally ill, homeless, thiefs, rapists, murderers, and all others for $45K a year. I really don’t care what someone says about the police, and howmuch they hate, they will still call us afterwards.

 

Even if it takes 2 hours for you to show up!

 

Here's a story for ya, during the nationals in syracuse last year, they had 10x as many cops patrolling a 1 block radius for cars and bikes doing burnouts, racing, etc..which is normally a very, very low volume area (this doesn't condone it to being ok to do it). While at the same time, in two different locations within the city a person was stabbed, they sat in their car, called for police, perp came back, stabbed them again and again, left. bystanders came out to help, perp came back to finish the person off, all before a cop got there.

Second location, different side of town, a woman was brutally raped....aww forget it. It's one of those debates and situtation where there will never be a finite solution because the system has become to large to control on a consistent level.

I'll just do the same and watch this thread.

 

My pops was a fireman for 25 years and i have personelly seen him at a scene run into a house. that was scary i didnt think he would make it out so if you ask me( nobody didnt so i will anyway..lmao) firemen are real hero's. Now cops i have family members that are cops and they put there life on the line also. The ticket situation is well documented that its in the city or state budget and the forcast how much revenue they will generate by writing tickets. I try and stay away from police at all cost..rotflmao i dont want to be the next person getting shot cause i grabbed my wallet. but they have a tough job. the problem with cops are the type of people they attract for the job. Also i think the community needs to get involved and have police that reflect the communities make up. for example in NYC china town has asian cops. They would be better equiped to handle people that are from there community and so on. Anyone who risk there life for a JOB is a hero to me thats why i have a desk job..rotflmao

 

Here is the answer. DRIVE THE F**KING SPEED LIMIT!!!!

In 6 months the local and state gov't will have trouble justifying why there are so many cops on the payroll doing nothing. Cops will have time and be force to get real criminals. They will quit because it requires real work and thought and there is the element of danger rather than just running speed traps.

In another 6 months after that there will be like 3 cops on the planet and all of us can drive like maniacs. Do the math, think clearly and you will see that my twisted logic is right again.

 

You my man are right. So how long will we have to drive slow 20-30 years? By Golly i like your thinking, So everyone SLOW down and when im 58 we can drive f^^king crazy

 

Thats why ccw's are important. Rapings andviolent rates drop dramaticaly with open and concealed carry permits. Look at vermont, one of the lowest crime rates with the most linient carry policies.

 

It will take a few months maybe a year, here is why. Citys and towns constantly go for funding. When the need for these funds can't be justified, the funds go somewhere else...'use it of lose it'. Enforcement revenue begats more enforcement'. Enforcement is for revenue, not safety. The method of speed enforcement presently doesn't change behavior...it will require a different method. However the goal of enforcement isn't to slow people down, it is to....raise money.

So the bottom line is

a) more speeders require more enforcement
b) speeding revunue creates motivation (money) and the justification for more enforcment.
c) Cops hate danger...take the speeders away and then they have to deal with criminals
