2012 is off to a rediculous start. Not sure what is wrong with people. In January a POS shot a buddy of mine who was investigating a theft. My buddy never had a chance, the DB spun around and shot before he even said anything to him. Luckily the one round was stopped by his vest. The other lodged in his knee and he will have a long recovery but should be good to go.

Two weeks ago we were going to a shots fired call and my buddy see's two guys that match the descripion and stops them. They decide to fight then run. While he is chasing them one spins around and points a Pistol at my friend who then shoots the suspect. (he's a good shot, fires 8 times while running and all 8 hit the suspect) I get there about 5 seconds later and use my personal first aid gear to help my old sergeant who is also a paramedic keep the F tard from bleeding out.

The whole thing is caught on video and we recovered the gun. Still the family and naacp trash us in the liberal media and claim excessive force and claim the suspect was a choir boy and never had a gun and that we shot him in the back for no reason after we racially profiled him. HELLO! the 911 calls gave a description of several black males with braids wearing clothes that matched. Oh yeah then a day or two later someone post a pic from his facebook page of him smoking a blunt and holding a pistol that matches the one we recovered. So now they say we posted the picture to ruin his reputation. WTF

Then the day before yesterday some other F tard decided to throw his car in reverse and try to run over another friend of mine on a traffic stop. Another good shot, he fired and hit the suspect 2 times while running to get out of the way of the car. So what does the media do...... You guessed it! They sensationalize it and bring up alot of old crap in an attempt to make him look bad. The articles in the Post and Courier are so slanted and biased it is unbelievable.

I guess I was really lucky the guy who pointed a gun at me a few years back was white. I was cleared from shooting him in less than a week and back on the street. Nobody cares if you shoot a white guy.:meh:My buddies are going to be waiting forever to get cleared just because the family is raising hell and naacp claiming profiling.

Heres a "Public service announcement" for you. If you don't want to get shot by the PO-PO don't point guns at them or try to run them over with cars!!!!


OK rant over thanks for listening (reading).


Hope this is not a sign of how this year will go, Maybe I should have medically retired when I broke my back. Oh well, back to the streets tomorrow. Wonder what that will hold.

It truly is a crazy world. And thanks to people like you are front line aganst the crazies. Keep yourself safe and while I am not a religious person I will keep your friend and you in my concerns as requested. Be safe as you can. :)
 
Damn - that crap sucks. Sorry to hear about all the BS y'all have to go through. Thanks for being a cop. My father was a cop for 26 years and I know he went through a ton of crap too.
 
It's all the parents fault. Had they done a good job of teaching their kids to respect police officers most of that wouldn't have happened. There is a serious lack of parenting going on these days. Sorry to hear about all the crap going on. You friend will be in my prayers. Charleston seems to be a hotbed of activity. That being said I'd hate to work in Orangeburg.
 
next time shoot to kill. Dead men don't talk. In the past i would believe someone who would say such a thing was being too harsh. But in this day and age it is all about racism and $$. We have had some problems in our area as of late. Lets just say the 12 gauge and 9mm are ready. Plan on buying the wife a pistol of her own this weekend hopefully as well.
 
Yeah I can't stand this crap in the media about this thug punk kid being killed by the neighborhood watch guy...the media has "poster childed" this thug and made this watch guy out to be a racist....I find it interesting that the blacks are now not only make white peoples lives hell but now are going after other nationalities as racial profilers...if I were to start the naawp they'd drag me down to charleston and hang me on battery for all to see....ya know if your goin to live in this country there are laws you have to follow and if you don't follow those laws then LE has to tell you what you did wrong and if you don't want to change your action or you want to try and hurt LE then they have the god given right to beat the holy hell out of you...and if you don't like it move to Syria or Iran or somewhere like that and see what happens when you break a law...you'll be thankful for the beat down compared to what you could get in a 3 rd world country....it's sad that in our country the criminal has more rights than I do....thanks for keepin the streets safe Scott and I hope your friend pulls through.
 
The other thing that chaps my ass is when you have someone like plaxico burress who, yes broke the law by carrying a gun but the dumbass shot himself in the leg...and what do they do they give him the max sentence of two years...and then next door you have a murderer who plea bargains and gets house arrest...rediculous

There ya go!!

I am truley surprised how many young adults seem to simply have no clue. It is a direct result of their parents being far more interested in themselves rather than preparing their own children to be ready for the world.

To the OP, I have no idea how you guys do your job and remain sane. You have to deal with the dregs of society on a daily basis. People seem to have no "moral filter" any more. I was taught right from wrong early on. I was also taught to respect others and to consider their take on things as well.

I was raised to repect law enforcement and fire fighters/rescue. My father was a fire fighter in our town. That no longer seems to be the case. My family knew every police officer in our town. I used to call dispatch when I did not have a ride home from work at 2 AM when I worked restraunt work in HS. A Doylestown car picked me up and drove me to the border with my town, a Warrington car was there waiting and drove me home. That was in the late 70s.

Anyway, people have become more self centered and have little respect for others. Hell we live in a society that is all wrapped up in ZOMBIES. Do you know that at least 5 gun companies are producing guns centered around killing zxombies, selling like hotcakes. THey even make zombie killing amo. Nuts

Rant over

That was
 
yah just read an article that ruger is no longer accepting orders for guns because they can not keep up. Hoping to get another myself very soon.
 
We have a thankless job man but the good went home and that's what counts. On a personal note I was slammed in the media and basically punished for 6 months because my commander is spineless. At least you were cleared and back after a week and it sounds like you have department backing.

Remember we only have each other and the media will never WANT to understand what we do!

My thoughts with your friend
 
There ya go!!

I believe if you watch the s*** that passes as a tv show now for more than 10minutes it is easy to see where kids and adults are getting some of their life training. Sadly, they are getting it from TV and not from parents. "The Bad Girls Club", "My Sweet Sixteen", "jersey shore",etc is enough to make me doubt that parents know what the hell the kids are watching anyway and if they even give a crap.

It just seems like the theme of all of these shows is that "I am the center of the universe and only I matter", I am sure a good deal of it is a director stirring the pot and creating these situations but I still think it effects the mind of those watching it (especially the young).


Their are some great kids and adults out there but sadly they are overshadowed by the s*** that gets ratings.

Enough of my rant within this one, (just got back from a s***ty call myself and needed to vent).

To the OP thanks for being out there. Hope your first shift back was a good one.
