Ridiculous Police News (Specific events)

[Nephlite]

The cops getting a kick out of 'expendable' is pretty funny. Let me help to take you back down a peg or two.

Police officers provide no real value to society that can't be instantly replaced. When a cop dies, nothing of value is lost, their role can easily be filled in a month with a new recruit to do the same exact thing. You aren't a profession that continues to master a trade that society can't instantly replace. An electrician, a butcher, a plumber, a chemist - those are examples of professions in society that are not expendable. They take time to train and master their craft. If we lost any or all of these in a society it the impact would be felt.

If all of the police in a city were removed or died, you could easily call in the National Guard or even Army reservists to fill their role for a month while new recruits are trained and put on the ground. Police don't grow into any greater position that further benefits society. You are drawn from the population as mostly poorly educated and without ambition to act as security and for show of strength on the idea that that is what prevents crime. You rarely prevent crime through force of action or expertise. Sorry to smash your delusions of heroism and grandeur all over the place but dems da fax, Jack. You're a drain on society, you're very easily replaced, and while some of you, sometimes, may do heroic sounding acts - you're nothing more than basic trained grunts on the ground to provide an illusion of order. When you die, the very next die no one in society notices the impact of your absence. Another pair of boots are on the ground and time goes on.

Instead of putting people down a peg or two, all you really did is show your bias and dislike for the police. What, did you get busted? Set up for prostitution or cross dressing? Why the hatred? Like Gregorio said, there aren't people in the works right now to master the trade of a butcher or an electrician? Any idiot with some sort of an idea of how things work can be an electrician (No offense Dim). Same for any of the trades you listed. It's all about learning the trade and getting better at it till you master it. Same can be said for the police. You can stick a rookie out on the street but is he a master of his profession? Can he conduct a great investigation to catch killers like Manson and Domer?

What about the voices of the victims who've been killed/raped/robbed/oppressed by the so called "model citizens"? Do they not deserve justice? If not the police to investigate crimes of this sort, who will do it? You? Hah. That master plumber who's been unclogging toilets? Or how about the National Guard? Don't you think they have more important things to do like protect our country from terrorists than to police it's own people? Sorry, friend. That's what the "police" police do.

I guess I should learn to mace and zip tie dogs so I don't become expendable.

And there certainly aren't any electricians, plumbers, or chemists being trained as we speak. There's definitely not any schools dedicated to specifically training those professions or anything. Once an electrician dies, he will NEVER be replaced.

Cops apparently have a hard time with reading comprehension. Hey quick question, what are the steps you are taking to achieve the next goals in your life? Where are you going from here? Oh right, still doing the same exact thing. An 18 year old could fill your shoes.

You can take it personally all you like, but you haven't refuted any of my points and like Starsky over here I replied to a moment ago just went entirely special ed and proved my point on the lack of education or critical thinking skills, making it entirely too easy to replace a cop that's been on the force for 2 years or 20 with a kid fresh out of high school. Thanks for helping my case.

You got me. There is absolutely no growth for officers, no promotions, no opportunity for moving up to state or federal agencies, nothing. Hopefully I will be able to write a few extra parking tickets by then, but I doubt it, seeing as I mastered my craft and learned everything I could have possibly learned after 1 month in the academy and my hands will start to cramp up a little faster.

Also, in contradiction of what you and others have said earlier, police don't need more training, they need less! It takes exactly 1 month to learn as much as you could possibly know as a police officer. There certainly would not be an increase in policy or civil rights violations, wrongful arrests, wrong information, or any other things that could cost the city millions of dollars if you were to instantly replace 3,000 officers in a major city with officers who have 1 month of training. Also, martial law would be awesome for a month while the city trained those officers.

Quick question, what are the steps an electrician takes to achieve the next goals in his/her life? Become a better electrician? Psh who needs that they learn everything they will ever know as soon as they get out of DeVry.

EDIT: Also, I see myself more as Hutch.

You know, that's kind of the point of a career. Doing the same job every day for 20-30 years till they retire. You can take what you just said and applied it to an IT person, a burger flipper, military person, etc. All you come off as someone who is bitter and trolling.

After reading this thread I can surmise that most officers are slow of understanding and are megalomaniacs with over inflated egos and self-worth.

Depends on who you talk to. I work with over a thousand sworn county officers and none of them have the ego of MF.

How is it megalomaniacal to say that it takes longer than a month to advance as far as you can in police work? That an 18 year old with 1 month of training can not do the same job as well as a veteran with 20 years on? That's just stupid. It's especially stupid because earlier in this thread he and others were claiming that police need more training in how to deal with dogs and citizens.

Police work is just like every other trade Perm mentioned. You learn more, learn new ways to handle situations/problems, and have all the room you find necessary to improve yourself if you want to as you do in any other profession.

Not really, some people are just proud of their jobs because it enables them to do something majority of the population does not have the opportunity to do.

There are some with huge ego's but its no where close to the majority of the work force.

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

ego of MF.

personal attack and name drop

[Brill Weave]

Hey hey now, no messing with members of the House of Weave

Hey hey now, no messing with members of the House of Weave

You should know better than to let your bitches on my lawn without a leash. Besides I was just letting it smell my hand, ain't even pull back or nothin

[Brill Weave]

lol I facepalmed irl.

[Xno Kappa]

>Demands police needs more training.
>Insists it's stupid easy to be a cop.

lol

[Melena]

Is it considered trolling if i'm laughing at the troll?

[Xno Kappa]

Meh. I think anyone who takes anybody seriously in this thread is a lost cause. Beat cops getting trolled by blatant shit, fake ass internet gangsta's screaming fuck da police on a gaming forum. It's all pretty lulz worthy.

[Melena]

It is, why I kept quiet most of the time. Think the only comment that really made me facepalm was the one month to train a cop since our academy is six months long. Wanted to go through it myself but since I destroyed my shoulder in middle school and it got misdiagnosed, there was no way I could pass the physical. Fuck that having to bench twice your weight. In shape I could barely bench a hundred, let alone the 460 I'd have to do lol. Why I probably will just go back for my degree in criminal justice and see about being a PO instead.

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

fake ass internet gangsta's screaming

lost my shit here

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

But trolling all BG cops and a dispatcher? This is better than my taste the rainbow thread in spam.

[Xno Kappa]

Whoa whoa whoa, who's the dispatcher?
