Putting your life on the line as a cop, doesn't give you a license to kill or abuse your authority. And unfortunately that is what is happening more and more because America has been militarizing local small town cops since 911. So what we have now is a sad state of affairs. I'm praying for HEALING and for peace that transcends all this darkness.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-89526913164770515652016-07-11T10:50:00.109-04:002016-07-11T10:50:00.109-04:00I had a very good experience with a policeman soon...I had a very good experience with a policeman soon after Mel died and my purse was taken in my own drive-way. He treated me like I was his own mother. On the other hand my brother-in-law who was a policeman was quite cocky and know-it-all. I'm sure they hear and put up with a lot too.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-47613201240664274352016-07-11T07:54:02.901-04:002016-07-11T07:54:02.901-04:00I got a lot of tickets for speeding when I was you...I got a lot of tickets for speeding when I was young. I deserved them. I have several law inforcement in my family. I respect most. I believe there are some that are not cut out for the job. I have had two incedents where I was pulled (both women cops). On claimed I ran a stop sigh in which I did not. I stayed calm but when I told her " maam, I know I stopped at that stop sign" she turned into a she devil. The other was for not wearing my seatbelt. I was in the wrong, I was polite. But the officer had some really ugly words for me and left me crying. Some take their authority to far. But at the end of the day, Im thankful we have "some" police protection and Ill stand with them.<br /><br />Sorry I blogged a comment ha<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-65545716818929639402016-07-11T06:31:18.184-04:002016-07-11T06:31:18.184-04:00Yes we do need law and order.

It's not an easy job as they put their lives at risk every day. Sad but true we are not any of us perfect.

They were profiling him a lot when he was a teenager. I might have mentioned it before, but I was riding with him one night and a police car pulled next to him, shined his light into the car, so it was me in the passenger side and then drove away. There were times he was guilty of things and he was involved in the legal system and all that he had to do to "make things right." There were times he was just "harassed" because he drove a Cadillac and he was young. They searched for things and never found what they were looking for. He learned to cooperate with them and never to "cop" an attitude. Thankfully as he grew, they tended to leave him alone (or perhaps because they never found anything on him.) I unfortunately didn't trust them, but I do appreciate that for the most part there are lots of good ones out there. They can be quick to judge, unless you are the victim. Yet I'm thankful they are out there protecting us. I have never been stopped in all my years of driving; I hope if I do, I handle it with dignity and respect.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-26205827015649553932016-07-11T00:56:02.862-04:002016-07-11T00:56:02.862-04:00What a heartfelt example!
I've mentioned befor...What a heartfelt example!<br />I've mentioned before, my personal testimony of (being) found guilty when NOT. Believing in the system, I'd taken unpaid leave to appear in court and tell my story ... even asking the judge if I might take a lie detector exam. <br /><br />I'm not proud of it, but at the time I hated that smug highway patrolman with every ounce of emotion I could muster ... wishing him a speedy journey to there hereafter.<br /><br />Some 15-16 years after the fact, I have to admit there's GOOD and there's BAD peace officers ... just like the rest of us. In the end, hate and paybacks solve nothing. (But darn it, forgiveness is difficult!) Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.com
