I normally don't bother ranting on other's positions but I just gotta laugh at the cop-bashing. It simply never ceases to amaze me. As a street officer of 20 years in one of the most dangerous cities in America (Houston) I take offense at simplistic thinking that I perfer to hand out seatbelt tickets over chasing drug dealers out of my beat. Until you've stood in my shoes for as long as I have spare me your preconceived notions as to how police go about their duties. I have no ticket quota and most metropolitian cities don't. As a matter of fact I seldom have the time to deal with traffic violations because I'm coming to your house to deal with the burglar in your back yard or the turd stealing the Sony system out of your VX. You have a God given right to voice your opinion and I personally have no problem with it until you start to generalize. I have never run from anyone who might be armed as I have two children in this city that I would not want the same guy to confront because I let him go to chase down someone with a broken tail light. Like everyone on this forum I have a job to do and, albeit at times unpleasant, I do it to the best of my ability so you & your family can sleep well at night. Here endth the lesson.
