Wow, I got threatened with a thread lock when I just called someone a "tool" (and he is, by the way) INGO is getting very forgiving....
No, we're not. It sometimes takes us a little bit to find posts and address problems.

But I'm asking, why do most people love most firefighters and despise most police officers? There is a reason for it. There are many good reasons for it. They are both basically the same thing. One group is paid for by tax payers to help citizens, the other group is paid for by tax payers to help citizens, not much difference at all. But one group is hated much more than the other. Why? I'd say it is because the second group is well known for stealing, kidnapping, murdering, handing out tickets, yelling at women, pointing guns at unarmed people and the former is known for putting out fires.
I would have to disagree with you on your first statement.......I don't feel that MOST people do despise MOST police officers. If that is your opinion then that's fine, I can live with agreeing to disagree.
As far as the last part?? In certain areas of the country the police are well known for those things.........but it is far from being most places or even a majority of places. Again........agree to disagree, you have your side of the fence and I have my side...........I'm OK with that. And I was ok with it when I was a firefighter too.
You have just lumped everyone into groups.
Lol lol whaha lol. Good one Joe. Constructive as always.
...
He's simply "wishin" for an LEO to blow the gullibility out of the back of your head, and then get a paid vacation for doing it. That is the real world, and I know it is hard to accept. It's just disappointing that it has to happen to you before you give a **** about it. Children have more foresight than you do.
I wonder why there isn't a bunch of Firefighter bashing going on here on INGO.
Can anyone tell me why that's so?

Good call. Luckily, you've never done that before.
Firefighters are definitely known for putting out fires(crazy, huh?)
I'd like to know what your definition of "well known" is though, because the only people I know that regard cops as "stealing, kidnapping, murdering, ticket givers, etc" are media sheep who only like reading/watching the BAD press LEOs get...
***News flash***
CONTROVERSY SELLS.
If the news showed every single incident that a PO saved someone's life, they would run out of time on the air.
So the United States was never a free nation? We were never hard workers? If you can't "lump" people together in gangs, then the same applies for nations. If we aren't allowed to hate an entire group of people, then we aren't allowed to feel any emotion towards an entire group of people. You can't respect, honor, or love the United States as a group if you can't hate cops, priests, etcetera as a group.
Sure you don't read about tons of cops in the paper. But I read (on INGO alone) almost every day where a police officer detained an American citizen, a citizen who has the absolute right to keep and bear arms, because he was carrying a firearm. INGO covers, what, roughly 10,000 people? I wonder how often this happens daily, and that's just among firearm carriers. We know that police officers detain people for wearing baggy clothing or carrying a bottle of water in a paper sack. They believe they are the final authority over Earth. They aren't. I don't have to show a license to some other human being to carry my self defense, but cops murder and kidnap people, so most of us are too scared to stand up to this GROUP of dictators and let them know what we truly think of their kind. My point is that just because you don't see something on CNN about police abusing their ever-expanding powers, doesn't mean it doesn't happen multiple times a day by nearly every police officer. I've yet to hear ANY officer of their GROUP come out and say that it is unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral to ask a guy carrying a gun for his license. They don't come out and say it because they are part of a group. Their group believes they rule supreme. A police officer doesn't need a license to carry a gun, and they don't feel they should have one. But we all know what happens if one of these people catch you carrying self defense in the form of a firearm without a license. They steal your firearms and throw you in jail, because you didn't purchase, from them (ISP), a license to carry a handgun.
It takes a special person to exercise power over other people. Those special people are in one group. Their name is Police.
You have just lumped everyone into groups. Why did you choose priests? Do you have a pre-disposition when you hear the name Priest, you automatically think "child molester"? Many priests did molest children. These labels and group lumping come from people who have dealt with people in those groups. LTCH holders aren't a group of people. They are people who also have a license to carry a handgun. Are drivers a group of people? Are licensed drivers a group of people? Can you name me 10 people who haven't driven in their lives? If the government dropped the LTCH, would the "group" also disappear?

Just as most cops are *****, most Americans were free. Not all cops can be *****.
But I'm asking, why do most people love most firefighters and despise most police officers?
From my experience, most of the people I know either fear most cops, dislike most cops, or flat-out disdain most of them.
I lump people all the time. I'm pointing out that everyone does that and police officers shouldn't be excluded from lumping into groups. Get it now?
Joe, you should work for me, because you're proving every one of my posts, so thanks for that. Firefighters are known for putting out fires, duh, right? LOL. My point here being - why aren't most LEOs known for simply enforcing laws? Thanks again.
Speaking of only talking about the bad things, which is such a poor excuse, why don't we ever hear about all the good things the Nazis did?
(more insults removed)
Try all you want, but you can't regulate free speech on the internet.
Because everybody loves firefighters..........I keep hearing they lay good hose.

Flippin hilarious! LOL +1
Most, being my experience, of course. I can't speak for other people. Other people also cannot speak for myself.
I'm sure most low-lifes completely agree with you, because bad experiences with cops is a part of their way of life.
There's just one small difference....FPD was lumping people together in jest and you are doing it seriously.
Get it now?
Bolded parts:
1. Haha, yeah...In your head, I guess I am.
2. They ARE.
Great argument.
Keep grinding away fella.
I'm sure most low-lifes completely agree with you, because bad experiences with cops is a part of their way of life.
Huh...I'm not sure why you bothered to reply. You literally said nothing.
Yeah, us "low-lifes" all dislike abusive authority figures. But it's for good reason.
I know of gated communities that are incorporated municipalities, complete with a local government and a police department.
I don't know anything about this particular one, but the story makes it sound like that's what we have here.
When did they start calling security guards for a gated community a police officer?

I will agree that the picture you posted is beyond words, but let us all remeber that atrocity wasn't done by LEO's in the US. I'm sure there are plenty you could find, but that isn't one of them.
Since you feel the need to post a picture of something bad that you feel was a travesty caused by LEO..........here is a rebuttal picture of something good that cops did, most probably knowing it would be the last thing they did.
See the difference between you and me is I agree that there are bad cops out there. One is too many and there are definitly more than one. some on INGO (maybe you maybe not, I don't remember so I won't say it is you) talk about how the good one's need to weed out the bad ones, how do you know what we do to weed them out. Simple..........you don't know. We as cops are harder on each other than you or any other person could be. I have almost come to blows with other cops because of their behavior on calls and things they have done, I have gone to supervisors and explained to them that they needed to handle it or I would.
We as cops hate the bad ones MORE than you do because they make all of us look bad.
