Featured I have changed my mind about Police

That sounds suspiciously like an admission that having a Law Enforcement Officer involved was...a good thing.


God bless.

 

And that is a conclusion both you fellows make based on what you know, which is compared to what needs to be known.

And there is no way either of you are justified in vilifying Police Officers you have never met. And there is no way you can reasonably conclude your conclusions are just, seeing you know only of a few individuals compared to the vast number of Police officers there actually are.

It is typical for men to think "Things were better back in the day," but the truth is, there is nothing new under the sun. The question is, were there Police Officers looking down their noses at you fellows when you were coming up in the ranks...

The trend to badmouth, slander, Police Officers as a whole is getting out of hand, in my view. This because many, like you, draw their conclusions from a minimal amount of information, which is usually gleaned from, tsk...the Media.

Let me tell you about a Police Officer that was recently killed in my own county: He worked with youth in his spare time, and was active in drug enforcement, and died after being shot in a drug enforcement action.

You guys dishonor men like this, and I view your slander as both faulty and shameless.

And that's it for me in this one, this thread makes me sick like most Political Threads do.


God bless.

 

That guy would not get elected in NJ and NY. Did you see what NY Gov., Cumo is doing with the Tappan Zee Bridge... naming it after his daddy!

 

My son was fishing on someone's property with their permission. Unfortunately, they forgot to tell their elderly mother who also lived on the place, and she called the Sheriff's department. So my son's down at this body of water and two sheriff's deputies accosted him. One was running toward him, weapon drawn, and pointed at his chest saying "drop the FISHING POLE". They then arrested him, handcuffed him in the back of their cruiser until a call to the owner confirmed that he had permission. But, as they were preparing to uncuff him and let him go, one of them said, no, let's leave him cuffed and make him go appolgize to the old lady, which they did. When I heard about this, and contacted the Sheriff's department, they lied about the weapon being pointed at my son, lied about leaving him cuffed, and threatened to arrest him again. I also talked with the sheriff about this but he backed up his officver with some lame excuse about his officers being in "lizard mode". It certainly left a bad taste in my mouth after this. My son was never charged for anything. When election time came back around that sheriff didn't get my vote again. I had voted for him the first time.

 

And the MORAL decision right here, would have been to put a 9mm or .40 slug in this dog's spine and end this immediately instead of letting the thing continue biting while ordering the man not to move. It was the officer's fault that he failed to control his dog and THEIR responsibility that this dog wasn't sufficiently trained to let go on command.

. But today, our society, including police officers, puts more value in the life of a dog than on another human being. I dont care what this guy had done: as you can see he had already surrendered peacefully and was no threat whatsoever during this encounter.

I bet they quit laughing when the lawsuit was filed.

 

The brother was right; we are to be subject to the higher powers because they are ordained of God. . But at the same time we are also supposed to reprove the evil works of darkness.

 

I would like to add that when one is "taken into custody" the authorities are then to protect that person as their own child would be and to care for the livelihood

There would have been no Bonnie and Clyde had he not been physically - s..ually assualted by the very ones charged with his custodial care. He was there for steeling a few chickens.

For some authorities, turning an offender loose in prison to be abused is justified.

Really?

Abuse of power should never be tolerated, and doing nothing to stop abuse when one is dutifully sworn to serve in a institution in which others are "put in custody" is an abuse of power.

Prison life should not be a place where abuse is tolerated from anyone.

In fact I am not certain that prison and incarceration is even biblical.

 

As a former cop, I know the system well as it was some 35 years ago. I was an "Oakland Rider" kind of cop, a bully, & sometimes the "mechanic" who "tuned up" some suspects. I THOUGHT I was doing right by doing whatever it took to put away a punk we all knew was a criminal. However, I came to realize MY acts were as unlawful as THEIRS; only of a different tyoe.

After I was saved, I resigned as a cop, as I saw I couldn't really be an effective cop and an effective Christian at the same time. (I fully realize there are many great Christian cops, but apparently God had other plans for me.)

A prevalent thought, espacially among big-city cops is that there are 2 kinds of people in their bailiwick - Fuzz and Scuzz. They tend to look at everyone else as a potential suspect.

I believe the whole police training curriculum could stand a major-league overhaul!
