I feel much the same way about teaching. I could probably make a good teacher for technical courses but I would have to associate with so many really bad teachers and their system that puts what teachers demand above what students need.
Police is our god?
- Thread starter 777333
- Start date
We used to have a thread about bad cop experiences.
I too say that there are many good cops and there are many more good than bad.
But boy when you witness a cop being a jerk it sure puts a bad taste in everyone's mouth. In Massachusetts the list for people wanting to be cops is quite long. There is not a shortage for ones wanting to be cops and firefighters. They are lucrative and rewarding jobs. I digress.
RCMP Watch - Who is keeping them accountable? Its not that some think there god.....it that they know that the system is Designed to protect them.
Many of them , retire with full benefits Long before there held accountable for their misconduct or criminal actions.
The biggest problem I see,is this childlike hero worship many people have because they believe the job is so difficult and dangerous. so we all should just accept the incompetence as a necessary part of society.......
Many of these hero worshiping people believe that anyone who is not content with mediocrity in our police forces is automatically a police hater and must be attacked for being so.

Cops are just people,prone to the same sheite as anyone else.They do protect each other though.
I had a dream once that I intercepted a phone call from a crown prosecuter who was having lunch across the street,he talked for a half hour about all the murders down here and the rcmp involvement,said it would be the crime of the century if they were ever solved.
This was just a dream though.
*wink*

My oh My - Another Thread of I hate all cops and all cops are crooked. What a surprise- I never expected it.
Called unsolved murders,lots of them,all in the same time,all involving the cops in one way or another.
You would think that when an RCMP is murdered they would be a little more diligent in finding the murderer,still unsolved after all these years,theres more to it then what you would read in the papers but it's a small town and we pretty well know whats going on when this kind of thing happens in your own hood.
Ferguson got away with murder.
The girls name was Melinda White.
What they dont tell you here is that she dumped her boyfriend not long before this,who happened to be an rcmp and close acquaintance of Peters.

You'd have to be brain dead to not realize there's been a growing problem with police abuse in the last few decades, one of the more stunning cases was the cop who shot the guy in the back of the head in Houston a few years back and walked away scot free.
They don't act like public servants anymore, but then again they're probably taking their cues from their political bosses who no longer consider themselves our servants.
This sounds like a productive member of society who's come up against the new reality, treating her with derision is just a continuation of the same atitude, something I notice frequently here. If you question the status quo you get jumped on by people who have no real opinion to offer, just mindless abuse.
For those of us interested in building a better society(which I guess someone who works with special needs children would be) it's a discouraging time.

Shoe me some stats to prove it's a growing problem, please. How many police interactions do you think there is in one day in the US? You dig up one negative and somehow it's an epidemic.
You are hardly interested in building a better society, you are interested in building a society that suits your agenda.
Interesting reading, this thread.
Wow. Seems that there are more wizards here than I would have thought.

I'm not even a law abiding citizen. I live in a grey world.
I count good clean cops in my list of friends.
They aren't secret, never have been. I can remember being a kid listening to the QPP talking on citizen bands. That's how I learned the 10 code.
Any cop using the citizen band way back in the day, or the service bands later on, who made incriminating statements involving murder, would be to stupid to operate a radio.
I smell a lot of BS in the claims that fly around these forums.
You're being overly generous.
Those bands are owned by the Govt. and sold- leased to business etc. You do not own it.
I can monitor anything a scanner receives,what part of that dont you get?
Radio waves are public property
In Canada, the radio waves are considered public property. That is to say, it's not illegal to "intercept" radio communications of any kind with receivers and such. What may be illegal is what you do with the signals you receive. For example, you can receive satellite signals, TV or otherwise, without a paid subscription. However, it is illegal to decode them without a subscription to the originator's services. In aviation, you can listen to police radio transmissions (where they haven't gone digital), but if you start following radio signals and getting in the way, you could be charged with obstruction of justice or some other such crime if you interfere, accidentally or otherwise. Also, listening to cell phone conversations isn't illegal (getting more difficult with current technologies, sure). But if you hear insider information and make your business trades with it, it's illegal. If you get caught, you're as liable as the company's personnel would be if they conducted themselves in a similar manner with the same insider information. The tough thing would be to prove how you got the information, but you could be charged, theoretically.
