First off, by saying the job isn’t as dangerous as some suggest isn’t saying that it’s not still a commendable job if done correctly and that those numbers might be drastically higher without the protocols they have in place. I have been assaulted at two jobs. Onc as a bouncer (duh) and once as a waiter, a junkie snuck into the bathroom and when I went to ask him to leave he lunged at me with a syringe. But aside from that, working in a Lab can be dangerous, I’ve worked with ricin, radioactive material and a bunch else. And in wineries every year there are deaths from CO2, forklift and falling barrels/rack or electrocution. Just cause you aren’t attacked doesn’t mean the job is safe.
You truly need to calm the fuck down. I'm not talking about anybody in this thread saying that. If you go back and look at the previous threads there were many poster saying the 99% number. Do your research and stop cussing at me like an idiot.
You're really don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You use conjecture as your form of debate and it really isn't serving you well. This is a number that has been used on the news the media and everything. I'm just getting tired of people saying that most cops are good when I don't really believe that. I've had two cops treat me well in my lifetime. The others have treated me like shit. I know many people that I've had horrible run-ins with police. I'm also speaking as someone who has two police officers in his family.
Anecdotal evidence here it comes.... My wife's dad was a cop and he's the biggest scumbag piece of shit you'll ever meet. Bragged about planting stuff on people
I am calm. Never seen this number used, all I ever see on the news is them shit on cops. Like others have said in here that also can be used with your run ins with cops, some are good, some are bad. Simple. I have been pulled over three times in my life. One was a bad cop, one was a really good cop, the other was just doing his job.
And to this my point and why I bring race into it. Because There is no way I can have an understanding of D's viewpoint of cops because there is still a race factor (WHY THE FUCK!!!":???) in this country and Blacks are still treated and scouted differently in many parts of this nation. Some of that is due to those individuals putting themselves in bad situations, but then there are people who may be with them but aren't bad that get lumped in. That doesn't happen to whites. So there is no way we can say D is wrong in his summation of cops. Its his perspective. Something we have never experienced. I posted two stories about run ins with cops, but I have had MANY more and all of them good. I was a member of the Oregon State Explorers Program in high school and was a highly sought recruit because of my height. But I dropped out because of my love of music and pot. Anyhow, I was a typical white male and they loved me. And thus, my interactions led me to believe 99% of cops are good. I am no more right or wrong than D, because of his interactions that has formed his perception. Though I still disagree with him , we are closer to being on the same page than not.
Good cops need to be valued members of a community...sometimes you can go introduce yourself to the local cops..let them know who you are...connect..that's what makes them work with people instead of guess work....where I live, there's a great neighborhood outreach program
Typical good cop-bad cop. Except now the good cop plants the drugs, bad cop shoots the innocent person.
I was a "cop" for 5 years. A Military Policeman. There were some sketchy as rednecks I worked along side. I wouldn't want to deal with them. That said, I have close to 10 or so friends that are Portland police officers and they are quality guys with families out there working hard for this community. It's too bad those guys get a bad rap, but they do.
One by one, the men told the same story: A Chicago police officer would demand money from them. And if they didn’t pay, they would find themselves in handcuffs with drugs stuffed in their pockets.
