That entire forum is a cesspool of stupid for the most part. About 85% of the registered LEOs on that site are a disgrace to the badge.Three pages of unadulterated stupid until t150vsuptpr shines a brilliant light into their cave of stupidity.

In my experience with cops (mostly the military variety) about 95% of them have that attitude. I imagine in the civilian world it's not as bad, because you can go after a civvie cop with a civil lawsuit much easier than a .mil "cop," so I figure that keeps them in line a bit more...maybe... :uhoh:Hmmmmm.
I wonder how many police think they are a law unto themselves like that bunch.

And before anybody accuses me of cop-bashing, I'm speaking purely from my own personal experience, which is pretty extensive in this area. I'm a Security Forces augmentee and most of the friends I've had in the 8 years I've been in the Air Force have been "cops."
Point of interest... I do not see MPs as police. They are gate guards or work security for the most part. They do not really do much police work at all. Very few actually write traffic tickets or make arrests.LEO 229 wrote::shock:..... are heavy handed and on a power trip.

I knew several and all they did was check ID cards at the front gate.
Nolarceny or burglary cases to work. Those are actually handled by MPI or CID.

At least in the Air Force, most gate guards are now rent a cops, civilian contractors, because of the huge demand for SPs overseas. Regular, non SP troops help out during the morning rush--even had the CCV out there one day, but during the day, it's all contractors. The SPs have been on a ticket tear recently, due to the Wing CC wanting to crack down on traffic offenses. On occaision, always...I leave my radar detector on so can tell when they are shooting. Even stopped once to tell the SSgt that he needed to get out of the car to use LIDAR. Shooting it thru the windscreen gives bad readings...he admired my Corvette.Sheriff wrote:Point of interest...

Irepeat guys and girls...... a lot of those people posting over there are NOT cops. They register, pretend they are cops, and join right in the conversations. There is no verification process on officer.com like there is on most other police forums.The vast majority of posters in that thread show a blatant disregard and/or ignorance of certain aspects of the law, civil rights, constitutional rights, due process or SCOTUS rulings and an arrogant derision of their fellow citizens.
I was not aware of that. I'll take that fact into account in my opinion of the thread.
