well for your information im 28 and have never so much as had a speeding ticket. It seems to me to many people dont have the cojones to stand up for themselves when looking at a badge. this all started out as a simple story and turned into a respect the authority routine. but if you want to debate the issue then i will oblige you . If your gonna let it slide when some jackleg has a pistol pointed at your chest because he got his information screwed up then i truly feel sorry for you . I guess we just have a little different perspective on such matters around here. Im simply saying if a man pulls a wepon on me , a MAN pulls it , whether he is an officer or not , just because THEY got the information screwed up then yeah , i have a huge problem with that , everyone is treating this like police officers are put up on this pedastal , like they are the only people who have things rough . Let me inform yall of something , they are human to and they make mistakes just like we do , only in one members case theyr mistakes could mean the death of an innocent person , it honestly has me dumbfounded at how anyone could condone that. Good lord , i mean seriously , they are people just like you and me , hell 2 years ago was the election for sherriff here , the right man got the job , do you know what the long time deputy , the other candidate did , the dare cop that works with kids and helps to keep them on the right path , the one who went to all the schools and spoke to our children on how to behave ? Well after he lost the election he gave it a few weeks and wrote some drawn out sappy goodbye note and shot himself in the chest and killed himself. This is how i look at that situation , when a man is in that state its like a boat dead in the water , he can paddle to the left bank or he can paddle to the right , he could have just as easily shot some innocent person before doing that to himself , if he was screwed up in the head enough to take his own life then he is screwed up in the head enough to take someone elses. It [beeep] me off to think that there are so many people out there that would let having theyr life threatened by a person holding a gun on them that had the wrong information just slide on by like water down the river. It is like deer stabber said , yall that are defending actions like this strike me as the type of person to hand over your granddads hex barrel model 94 30-30 when they come to collect your guns . When someone violates my rights your [beeep] right it [beeep] me off , it [beeep] me off enough to fight . When someone threatens my life and my familys wel being it [beeep] me off . For a 100 years our familys men and women have gone across oceans to fight for our rights and our liberty and our right to defend them and they have died in the process , so the way i see it if all those soldiers could travel that far to fight for my rights what in the sam hill makes you think that i wont fight for my rights in my own backyard. Now im not calling everyone in this thread out , dont take it like that , but there are a couple posters that just strike me as week and are being led like sheep . Tell ya what fellers , yall just let them guys drop a bead between your eyes " let that fella take a chance on taking your sons and daughters daddy away " just because of a fuzzy sounding mic , and then pat him on the back when you ffind out out he is just having a bad day or mis understood the dispatcher.when they make it illeagle to have your grandpas lever gun over the fire place yall go hand it in when they ask you to just because they are wearing the badge and your not . Just go crawl under your rock and take that beating , guys like myself will be out there doing what we love and we will be the ones keeping them in check and making sure that they follow theyr rules as well so YOU can do what YOU love. Thats all this thread started out to be , was how i thought it was wrong for the officer to do what he did and it turned into this. If the mods want to delete this whole shebang then feel free.
