Or..... They thought they had all the enforcement (shakedown)
officials covered. You just don't get it, as much money is made by
the
so called good guys in the drug business, as the bad guys.
Well, apparently not all the enforcement folks are bad guys, right?
Right. Not all are all bad, in fact, probably very few, but in so
many
police departments, the bad ones seem to rule. If you have a
situation
where there are one or two out of a dozen or so that are bad, and the
rest are either afraid to expose them, or turn away due to the blue
shield of silence, you got a dirty dozen. I have seen otherwise good
cops go along with bad ones on too many occasions out of fear for
their jobs, or their own personal safety. Eventually, the good ones
just seem to go along. Where I grew up, the local police ran and
protected the drug business, everyone knew it, you just kept quiet
and
stayed out or their way.
Strange. I've got two brothers who are retired cops. Neither are
rich.
And,
neither have discussed the rule of police departments by bad cops.
That's
not to say they don't exist, but they may not be as prevalent as you
make
them out to be.
To varying degrees, many of them really are thugs with no respect for
the
law.
Example: My ex got a ticket from a NY state trooper at 6:30 AM on an
empty highway, for not signalling when she changed lanes. I see
troopers
do this constantly.
Example: In a club where my band plays often, I see off duty cops
crawling out the door at closing time, three sheets to the wind. They
don't call a taxi. They drive home. A cop from the sheriff's
department
is standing trial this week for killing a motorcyclist. The cop blew a
.24, three times the legal limit in NY. His defense, according to TV
news: Yes, he was **** faced, but it was not related to the accident.
*Some* are indeed nothing more than bad guys carrying a badge. *Most*,
however, are good guys putting their lives on the line each and every
day
for us.
Next time you desperately need a police officer remember what you just
said about them. ;-)
Never forget that you are an idiot. The existence of bad cops does not
mean
bad ones don't exist. If you dispute this simple fact, explain why.
Do you realize that you posted to Harry, but snipped his comments and
replied to the poster above Harry.....?
This thread has become almost impossible to decode....
Yeah...I know. I was supposed to type "does not mean GOOD ones don't
exist". But, you probably understood that.
And you have the balls to call others idiots. ROTF!!!!!!!!!
