Why Are People Scared Of Us?

[vikingr12]

Yeah, I am having trouble at work with the dumb f*cks there. I try to cooperate and get along and mostly I do because there is little interaction. When there is, I try hard but someone always gets a case of the mind uglies. Got to be more superior. Got to be more inferior. Got to be smarter. Got to talk. Got to smile and look pretty. Got to look at you like they want to f*ck you; not men. Women. Can't you see I have no time? Got to smile more. Got to cut senseless jokes. That's one that really gets me. Everybody has to be a f*cking clown.

"Oh, yes, mothertrucker. And how is your day?"

Geez, when's lunch?

Damn tinnitus.

(Walks away like someone cut a fart in his ear.....)

Well back in the 70's I was a Deputy Sheriff in N Idaho. Training was riding with a Deputy and reading the law and backing him up for 2 weeks! After that you got a car and an area to patrol. Oh, your back up should you need one, was 50+ miles out. Now this was real Law Enforcement on Fri & Sat night, with logger bars, with Big Loggers and cork boots.....This was the days you were called PIGS. :D Anyway I liked it, but did not last only 6 months. Called in from my car to start a day shift and got asked to check a car train accident a few miles down the road. I find it and it's not good, some dumb shit trys to beat the train to the crossing and does not make it! He was driving a station wagon with wife and 6 kids. Car gets hit by a fast freight going 90 mph....I find 2 alive.....I will not say more on this, as you don't need to know or even think about it. I gave up the job 3 days later......Keep in mind I did not know I had Beast.....

Anyway, back in them days, a lot of good cops were Nam vets and got the job done. They did not stand around for a hour or more,(jacking off) thinking about what to do; maybe 15 mins at most and in they went. People thought they were nuts...Remember no SWAT back then...Hell the nam vets were the SWAT back then. :rolleyes:

Sorry to say, but we don't have a lot of real good LEO's today!!! Not sure what I would call the rest......

I honestly think it started going to shit in law enforcement once the 90's rolled around, at least here on the left coast. There's far too many rules now to handle things. I come from a law enforcement family. My father did is all in the 80s as a patrolmen, then a gang enforcement officer in the 90s and onto crime scene investigator.

I came back from the sands of Iraq and thought I wanted to go into law enforcement, pretty much handed job opportunity. I knew the sheriff that just so happened to get stationed at the same base I near got blow'd up outside of.

I saw there's far too many rules, far too many idiots in law enforcement that I would have to count on to back me up, went through two years of college as a criminal justice major listening to "well I couldn't kill someone, I'd shoot them in their leg" bs.

People these days don't know how grow a pair and think for themselves. The future is full of disappointing whining bitches that couldn't save a cat in a tree.

I'm really thinking about not perusing a law enforcement career at this point. I like some of the people involved in the profession but not like I like the guys in my platoon, you know. On the other hand I wont ever really like regular people that much again anyway. Oh and yes CombatGoldfish, the future is full of whining bitches. I think that's why I drink so much..........;)

Just for grins and giggles, a LE friend of mine gave me the verbal interview that one would get when applying for a job. After it was over, he told me I could never be a policeman. He said, "the answer to all the questions is not 'pull my weapon and shoot them'". So, I went into engineering where it's just verbal assaults.
