There is a very special place in hell for these "men", and I use that word in the loosest sense possible.
@verga Oh,they are all "Manly McStud" during traffic stops of women and unarmed men. One hand on their pistol,and the other on their radio to call for backup.
It's when they meet someone else who is NOT a cop and is armed when they want to call out the National Guard to protect them.
Why the HELL do you think these pukes BECAME cops in the first place,if not to be able to carry loaded weapons everywhere they went,and get away scot-free with intimidating unarmed "civilians"?
I put "civilians" in quotation marks" because these punks see themselves as soldiers. I get a little dizzy from just thinking about THAT one.
BTW,not ALL cops are that way. Especially not the ones in rural areas. I am the one that convinced the local sheriff to vote FOR CC permits when the governor put it up to the local sheriffs to decide. He and I had known each other since I got out of the army,years before,and he was already a deputy on a different force.
So I walk into his office and ask him what he's going to do. He told me he is unsure,and leaning towards "No". So I tell him "What the hell? You have known me most of your freaking life,and I have been carrying a handgun illegally for most of that time,and you knew it,and I don't recall you EVER being scared of me. Hell,I have one in my pocket now,want to see it?"
He laughed,said "No,I don't want to see it."and then told his administrative assistant,who became the next sheriff after he retired,"Go ahead and just give him a permit for anything he wants without bothering me in the future,including machine guns."
He then told me "I want you to be the very first one in my office to get your permit the day they are approved. I want to personally fingerprint you and send your papers off to the state."
BTW,forgot to mention the local sheriff's dept used to have a LOT fewer officers than now. Prior to the above discussion with the sheriff,I have had a couple of different deputies knock on my door late at night and ask me if I would grab my 45 and ride along with them because they might have to make some arrests,and there were a lot of people there. They wanted me to just sit inside the patrol car and not come out unless he was attacked. We are talking about night duty cops that had an area to patrol by themselves that was maybe 40 miles long,and not all the people at these parties were locals they could trust. They would have gone without me if they had to,but these men weren't fools,and I,and maybe a few other "civilians" were the only "backups" available to them that they knew they could trust.
I obviously have NO problem with real cops,but I freaking despise these losers with badges who just do it so they can legally bully and intimidate people,but scream and run off an hide when they suspect that THEY might not have the upper hand.
I suspect the "real" cops think the same way,but just can't speak up for obvious reasons.
Sadly,I suspect the "real cops" are in the minority these days,and the posers dominate.
