Why don't people bitch about the overwhelming number of poor service in our restaraunts? Idiots at the shoe store who act like they have better things to do than go to the back and find your size? The dumb bitch at the box office at one of my local theaters who can't stop texting long enough to give me my goddamn tickets (gawd I hate her)? Or how about the rude ***, 45 minutes late, middle-aged pizza delivery lady who holds her hand palm up near her waist after giving me my change instead of giving me my ****ing food. **** that lady.
Maybe it's just one of those things you get sick and tired of hearing about. Funny thing is, I rode all winter long - rarely read a single "cop" thread. Now that summer is coming, people are getting their bikes out and the cop threads are blowin' up. Strange how I make it through an entire 8 months without a run-in, and some of these people on here can't go 2 months in a row without getting it by the man. I wonder if their is a corralation between riding manners and traffic stops?
Ah, I remember... no one on here has yet to admit to any wrong doing... they we're just riding down the street. I also forgot that every threadstarter bitching about cops seems to have the country's worst cops in their city... strange.
If you were just joking - whatever. You're probably the type of guy who waves at every fire truck that goes down the street and never lifts a hand to the cops. Whatev, if you wanna stir the pot more and more go ahead - but for someone who had only joking intentions you should have certainly known where this thread was headed by posting a video of a cop doing some dumb ****.

Cop bashing is old... Get tired of seeing people break the law, and point at the cops as the cause of the problem. Kinda Backassward.
I do admit that the video with the siezed moto crashing inside the building was funny. But when it comes to chases, the runner is to blame.

Bashing the police,sheriffs and state troopers, is like bashing our troops in Iraq, it just should not be done, they are doingtheir job, as like in any job regardless of what you do, some people are just better at it than others. [&:]

As if we don't have 4 new threads a week about cops in some form of humor at their expense.

RE: why cops shouldn't chase "us"
egos aside, and whatever this threads intentions were, there is alot of cop bashing that goes on and typically, it is just someone pissed off that they got caught. dont blame the cop for doing his job, blame yourself for doing something that draws attention to yourself. now, there are the exceptions, as with any profession, there are nice cops, and there are ********. as crenshaw used in his example, the pizza delivery lady who waits for a tip, i have been in pizza for 4 years, now PT, but I do expect people to tip me, but when they dont, i dont wait around, i gots more deliveries. and when i was manager, i fired people for doing that kind of stuff. people hate the popo when he pulls them over, but who you gonna call when you need help? i bet you dont call the ghostbusters.
Audi, it was the title of this thread which makes everyone think you are against the police. they should chase, but you shouldnt be running to begin with, which is why we have the rep we do.

RE: why cops shouldn't chase "us"
Not all cops are good. Some of them really are douchebags. I know this one patrol officer (NOT a friend) who was recently chosen for the COPS film crew to ride with him. He brought a tape over to my house of him chasing a drunk guy in a stolen truck. They were running like 35MPH at most through some sidestreets. The guy finally stopped the truck, got out and started "running" on foot. I say "running" because he was obviously hammered and wasn't doing a good job. My 82 yr old grandmother coulda run him down. Anyway, the cop yells. "Police, freeze! Sir, stop running." He chased him for like 5 steps and tazered him. WTF??!! I don't know police procedure, but seems to me like he just tazered him for the fun of it.
You can say all you want that cops are good. That is true to some extent, but don't forget there are some bad ones. And those are the ones I DON'T want coming to my aid if I do call the boys in blue.
