The police. What are YOUR thoughts?

[XBiker]

Highway patrol people are almost guaranteed to be dicks, since that's the function of their job. Glorified highway traffic cops. Their entire job is to find people breaking little traffic rules and fuck with em. Occaisionally they make some other bust, but its almost always by coincidence.

Uhhh, wrong.

HiPo's (Highway Partrol, in case you don't get it) consistently make the largest drugs busts in the US.

I have only been ticketed once by a highway patrol office (Alabama State Police), but have been pulled over at least 6 or more times.

CHIP's may be Triple A with a badge, but in mosts states the highway patrol (or state police) are called when the shit hits the fan on any interstate with the respective state's boarders.

I can't identify. I've never been in trouble with the law, myself.

LOL. I get it Cas, even if some dont.

I know a few police officers. . . .great people! I respect the fact that they risk their lives to protect people.

IMO, they risk their lives for a paycheck.

No one risks their lives for the shitty pay of your normal cop.

Say there's a bank robbery. Hostages. Do the cops go in the line of fire just to get paid at the end of the week?

Still bitter over that DWI, huh?

No. Old news. Sucked, but, lesson learned. Drinking problem under control.

I just disagree with your assertion.

Great! And think how many more there would be if we had random checkpoints or imposed martial law.

Ifwe had everyone do urnie samples all day, we could erally stop drug use. hey, let;s do it.

War on Drugs!

silly

Nope. Most hide behind their cars until a group of specialists (higher pay, btw) arrive.

Better weapons too.

here's what's so funny - with NO police, no hostages would be taken at all.

Very, very true.

As Sun Tzu might say, "your enemy must always be given a path of retreat, for a trapped army's soldiers will fight harder than your most seasoned warriors."
