Paid to fail…by the taxpayers…
You know I haven’t had too many run ins with cops, but I do have my list…a very nice collection of tickets for driving fast. Hey…what else am I supposed to do with an RX-7 and a BMW?
I used to have a classified respect for cops, usually the bottom of the scale was the county cops in my area. They were the ones most unfit and usually the most redneckish, next up was the city cops. They usually were somewhere in the middle of being professional and stupid at the same time…I was once pulled over in a car wash, I was accused of “hot roding through town” I was doing 35mph in 2nd gear in an RX-7…one of the few times I’m driving normal dead on the speed limit and I get “pulled over” several mins after the fact while I’m sitting in a carwash stall. Then finally the state troopers, whom seemed to be the most mature acting and professional out of them all. Needless to say the majority of cops seem to think they are above the law, and whatever they do or say is “ok” because they are cops.
Former San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy Ivory J. Webb Jr. is on trial for attempted voluntary manslaughter in the 2006 shooting of an unarmed Air Force police officer during a traffic stop. Airman Elio Carrion was shot after the deputy pursued the Corvette in which he was a passenger at high speed through the streets of Chino. Webb has pleaded not guilty.
Of course…why would he be guilty? it’s only 3 rounds shot into someone who was only doing what he was asked. I laugh at the fact cops think people hate them because they’re cops…well not most of us with some common sense hate the fact they are so unprofessional about their job that taxpayers pay them to do.
I respect cops who act professional…but if a cop shoots me for no reason, he better hope to hell I’m hurt bad enough not to jump on him in “self defense”.
