I have to take issue with this one.<BR/><BR/>1 - Learn some grammar and spelling so you don't sound like a complete ignoramus.<BR/><BR/>2 - Fact of the matter is you don't know WHAT kind of cop he is. You don't know him. You don't seem to understand his point of view, and you base your claim on no evidence other than your petulance about being censored. WAH! Get over it. Hell, you don't seem literate enough to even understand what he's writing!<BR/><BR/>Yes, there are police out there with superiority complexes. Yes, there are those who don't deserve to wear the badge. And yes, there are those who have earned nothing but disdain. No one deserves respect JUST because they wear the uniform, but they certainly deserve a modicum of decency as human beings and people who choose to PROTECT and SERVE. And no one deserves disdain JUST because others in uniform have shamed them.<BR/><BR/>Most that I know are decent, honorable and honest. The rotten ones get the media, and the good ones get a pat on the back.<BR/><BR/>Ever hear the old line about the media, "If it bleeds, it leads"? It means bad news gets the press, as do bad cops.<BR/><BR/>I'd be willing to bet that if the good deeds got as much press as the bad, people would be worshiping them as heroes, much like they love us Soldiers.<BR/><BR/>So step back and stop acting like a puerile jackass, sparky.Nickihttp://www.thelibertyzone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-16763534858035523282009-04-02T16:29:00.000-05:002009-04-02T16:29:00.000-05:00I didn't post it because I doubted your central c...I didn't post it because I doubted your central claim--that you are in fact a police officer. Just because you call yourself "Deputy Chief Johnson" as you did in that post doesn't mean that you're for real, especially when you use it to validate a bunch of nasty comments about police in general.<BR/><BR/>Fact is, no real cop talks like that in public, especially one who has enough on the ball to make rank. Granted, there are many inept and buffoonish people in the command ranks of America's police agencies, but even they don't post a lot of smack about police officers on blogs.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, but you came across as just another cop-basher, only one who took a page from the Democrats that like to call talk radio and claim to be Republicans and then excoriate the GOP.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-79984769513961886612009-04-02T16:21:00.000-05:002009-04-02T16:21:00.000-05:00why wont you post my comment? you know it's the tr...why wont you post my comment? you know it's the truth. the reason I went into LE is because it runs through my family. I support the police but realize our place in society. My department has some cops like you. Thinking that just because they are cops they are better than citizens. that a badge somehow makes them an elite member of some society. well our purpose is to PROTECT and SERVE not CONTROL.<BR/>the laws out there to regulate what we can and cant do are for a good reason and without them this would be a police state. cops like you dont deserve badges. your only in it because you want to boss people around but ill bet money not many people respect you.Johnsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-10115405514563828112009-04-02T04:07:00.000-05:002009-04-02T04:07:00.000-05:00Punks and illegals.

This was one of those circumstances.

They know we are out gunned, out manned and out protection from the neighbors. <BR/><BR/>It is absolutely disgusting that this happened. But as you said they are SAVAGES....... After the unbelievably tragic deaths of 4 Officers in Oakland you would think some would stop and pause. Nope they step it up a notch, act like fucking cowards that they are, and gang up on ONE MAN. Yup thug life at its best. <BR/><BR/>I hate them, will always hate them.

However, if a police officer is not law-abiding, they need to go right into the "non-law-abiding" category. What I mean by that is don't lump all police into the "law-abiding" category just because they are police. If police officers break the law, then they are as bad, if not worse, then law-breaking civilians.<BR/><BR/>And on the ACLU: The ACLU doesn't go after cops for no reason, they go after them because the screwed up. Moreover, when you talk about police holding court in an alley and beating people, you are talking about the police BREAKING THE LAW! So how can the possibly be "law-abiding" then? Don't you see that? I hope you get it now.<BR/><BR/>Just remember: No one is above the law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-52548608204440599952009-03-31T17:12:00.000-05:002009-03-31T17:12:00.000-05:00"The American Snivel Liberties Union whines about ..."The American Snivel Liberties Union whines about police brutality, but back when police were allowed to kick a few asses and "hold court in the alley", the thug culture understood it's place and didn't feel brave enough to run wild like they now do. Thanks for nothing, ACLU." <BR/><BR/>This has to be the best paragraph I have read in a long time which summarizes all the BS that is going on around us today. It epitomizes all of it in just those few well written words. And calling it the American *Snivel* Liberties Union ...CLASSIC!!

Pistol <I>and</I> rifle?<BR/><BR/>2. I understand that this was in commiefornia, but will someone for crying out loud tell the press that just because a rifle is black it doesn't mean it's an "assault rifle". Sorry, standard rant.<BR/><BR/>3. I've got to think that the officer, when hearing that he wasn't leaving alive, said something to the effect of "that may be, but I'm taking a bunch of you with me. Who wants to be first?". Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out with only minor injuries.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations to the officer for keeping his head, and going home alive at the end of his shift.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675170508193377512noreply@blogger.com
