For those who usually post about all the bad cops out there....something positive to watch.

Thank you to all of those who serve us thanklessly everyday

The majority of police are GOOD people . Don't lump them into groups like the anti gun people do when someone comets a violent act with a gun..They want to do the job and go home at night They have to deal with some of the worst people.As far as asking four firearm when they make a stop they and you should KNOW they arn't going to shoot you ,But they don't know what your intent is . Give them a break.

Thanks for sharing. That is a sad story. Walt O, I don't think the OP meant that the majority of police are bad. The title of this thread could have been worded differently but don't get bent out of shape about it.

I worded my original post to reflect my position which lines up with yours. I just did not state it so it came off as if i was a cop hater, which i am not

You all know im usually down on cops. But that is a sad story and BRAVO to the officer. There really are some good men out there.

I measure it like this. I don't want their job. Most aren't just good people. They are great people. But it only ever take a few bad to spoil the barrel. Police credibility and image takes a hit every time one gets caught In the wrong. Indy has had a bad run of that over the past few years. Hopefully that's changing for the better now.

Thanks for sharing.

I've met one of our resident cops and he was a fine, upstanding individual. I believe that most peace keepers are. I work in IT and I've been around people that have no business in my profession and some that are brilliant; the same is true of any profession

Actions like that go a long way. Sounds like he was an ambassador of kindness. That kind of action does so much good in a community and other programs like the cops shopping with the kids for clothes toys and school supplies. But just one bad act by a person in public service (not just cops, also soldiers in a war zone), has so many more impacts, but in a negative light. It sucks that people remember the bad more than good but that's human nature. The media doesn't help either.

never like seeing one of the true good guys go down. It sucks.

Thank you Sir, for your service to our country, and your service to those around you.

The vast majority of officers are good and only try to do an ever increasingly dangerous job.

 

[clemracer]

I strongly believe most of our law enforcers are good guys. It is just a few who spoil the names of the everyday hero - working to protect his fellow citizens.

 

[scootn103]

My prayers are going out to his family . Thank you and thanks to all who serve and protect from sea to shining sea . This allows me to live the life I do .

 

[m4lover]

i feel bad for the kid though.

 

[danielson]

I was back home last weekend and heard a deputy on the scanner tell the dispatcher he was getting out of the car to help someone change a tire. Just thought Id throw that out there.

 

[You'll shoot your eye out]

I think that even if a cop is a sorry S O B, he still should be able to sit in his car all by himself without getting killed.

I would guess by my experience that more than 99.9% of police officers are good people, most are better than the average non LEO citizen, however due to the fact they all have the power we grant them to really screw up our lives - and also that they are forced to enforce some lousy laws enacted by our elected officials (although most of the best LEO's do tend to be lax when enforcing laws they know are unfair or unnecessary) we tend to be leery of LEO's we don't know personally.

It only takes one bad LEO to give a bad reputation to hundreds. I have also known rookie police officers that let the "power" go to their head and caused a lot of grief to both citizens and the citizen views of other police officers. This is probably the cause of much of the resentment of citizens toward LEO's, too often the Rookie is so enamored of his "power" he makes arrests or writes tickets for minor infractions that experienced LEO's would ignore.

I'm sure this behavior happens in many other occupations, but most newbys don't have the ability to inflict the financial or legal problems on other people.

Kudo's to the many dedicated officers that are really attempting to make this a better, safer world.
