mcts Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 How about we post stories about when policemen do good things? Like when one let my grandma go when she was on her way to the hospital when my aunt was in labor and having complications. Or when one paid for Christmas presents for a family who was neck deep in bills after the father was shot and weren't going to afford any presents for their 6 kids. If you're going to call out the bad ones, please remember the good ones as well.
MithLuin Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I'm just waiting for [b]Stern[/b] to figure out that the human race is made up of a lot more than a 'few' bad apples. Despicable behavior is, unfortunately, not the least bit rare, and because of concupiscence....actually has a good shot at being the normal state of affairs. Just sayin'.
Nihil Obstat Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 This flamebaiting is absolutely shameful.

Lilllabettt Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Everyone loves to hate cops, lawyers, doctors etc. until they really need one. I have needed a cop many times. I am always afraid of them because of their power ... but they have always done right by me. Stopped people from knocking me around. Convinced Ma to go to AA meetings. Rushed my brother to the ER. Found the girl who stole my violin. Helped me out of a car wreck. Must be my charm/beauty. I think Stern has been blessed in life so far. But chances are that one day he will need a cop.

Sternhauser Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Well, when you "need" a police officer, have fun cowering for nearly 9 minutes, the national average police response time. [url="http://www.apbweb.com/featured-articles/1188-response-times-city-to-city.html"]http://www.apbweb.co...ty-to-city.html[/url] When seconds count, police are only minutes away. I'll be responsible and proactive when it comes to defense of the innocent. I have no problem with men who are voluntarily paid to carry weapons and protect the lives, rights and property of individuals. Those men are not Statepolice, however. However, I wouldn't hesitate to walk up to any of these men and engage in casual conversation: [url="http://www.sfspecialneighborhoodpolicing.org/about_us.html"]http://www.sfspecial...g/about_us.html[/url] Or this man.

MithLuin Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Averages are deceptive. Growing up in the country, a call to 9-11 could result in a 45 min. wait time. This was because there was no police officer stationed anywhere nearby, and the county seat was a 45 min. drive away. We never did need to call the police, though we made about 3 calls to the fire department and 1 for an ambulance. When I lived in the ghetto, we called the cops when we walked downstairs to find our front door hanging open at 11 PM on a Saturday. They were there [i]instantly[/i] - I do mean that, they couldn't have been more than half a block away, and the response time was about 30 sec. We had two police cars and a helicopter with a spotlight on our front door. It turned out to be a false alarm, but we didn't know that at the time. We joked that the 9-11 call sounded like 'white people in trouble!' and that's why we got such a fast response. But I'd like to think they would have done the same for our neighbors. Anyway, yes, in the town where I grew up, if you needed a police officer [i]instantly[/i]...you'd be better off asking for the volunteer fire company to send someone by. But that didn't mean we didn't have police when we needed them. Besides, everyone in that town owned a gun; hunting was quite popular. German police are scary, though. That's because...they speak German. Anyone speaking German sounds angry and ready to kill you. Didn't stop me from disobeying them when I was in Cologne for World Youth Day.

I think the cops will get to me faster though. It is easy for a man to be blase about the need for police. As a single woman I frequently roam the earth by myself. Anyway, when I was sexually harassed on the street, the hooligans did not care that I had a guy with me. 5-7 of them, 1 of him. I got a cop, and that was the end of that. He did not say anything, just stood there and looked at them. They shut up. Cuz they, like me, know cops are powerful and are not to be messed with.
