Looks like the kid was using it in the correct term after all according to number 2. I wonder if he would have been happier if he called him Chap like the australians do.

But what happens to the few who act this way? Do they get weeded out by their superiors or do the other officersdo their own self policing?
I know in my line of work, if we have a screw up giving us a bad image. We run them out, but I could see how this would be much more difficult in the law enforcement biz.

Yeah it is tuff getting ride of the idiots on the force. The last rookie I trained ended up quiting. He had two choices. One quit and keep your dignity or two get fired and face police act charges. He was a treat. If they make it past their probation, then it does get tuffer to straighten them out, but that is what his partners will do.

If I am being called dude, it isn't going to bother me to much. If the kid is doing it in a disrespectfull way, then I will deal with his attitude accordingly. If he saying it with no disrespect, then I could care less. You dudes goz whaz I'z be sayin?

 

i saw the clip with the guy on the news last night, and all the "cop" got was a week suspension WITH pay!!!!

Here is the Story on that incident the guy is suspended pending an investigation

 

No one ever got anywhere eating bacon either but we all love it

So Shame on you too !

 

so your saying that kid was running his mouth being disrespectfull???? if you think so i hope i never run into you when uve got your uniform on.... or ever for that matter.

 

..that cop was beinga total dick..he went a bit tofar, he could of handled that with out yelling, but there must of been something we didnt see.

 

^^^Thats what I was thinking too. But when he turns into Super Trooper the kid can hardly say a word. The kid didnt seem like the type ofperson to run his mouth. I too blame it on the golf cart he drives daily.

 

big man! i will like to see him talk to "KIMBO" like this...
this guy makes the good copsto have a hard time.

 

all i can say is wow. what a jerk, he definetly deserves the suspension, but no pay during it.
