People can die when a good cop makes a bad mistake because thats the nature of the business.. nobody can be perfect all of the time.


And when Joe/Jane citizen makes a mistake because nobody can be perfect all the time, it's manslaughter.

Truck drivers?, it doesn't take 100 applicants to hire 3 truck drivers, call a truck driver next time a burglar breaks into your home, or some cluck punks you in front of your girl and jacks your ride... maybe the value of a cop will become clearer.


This statement implies that cops are somehow more valuable, or better than the rest of us. A bad cop doesn't necessarily have to be corrupt to be considered bad by me, sometimes it's their crappy attitude towards Joe/Jane citizen that earns them the title *Bad Cop*.

Cops DO and will CONTINUE "to stick together".


I used to know a reservist for the Aurora PD. He and I talked at length about various subjects concerning the police, one of them being how cops stick together. He said that Aurora police officers talked to him about this all the time, sometimes in subtle ways, and some not so subtle ways. He was just a reservist trying to get on full time.

In the end you should be thankful for those players like us who switch to try and help keep things even because our willingness to do so, helps a more selfish, I want it my way player, get to fly his latewar uber ride.

a truck driver would get there quicker, if you want someone to show up after the fact and fill out a report call a cop.

and if your "cluck" tries to "punk" me he will be looking down the barrel of my 38.

When my brother was a cop on evening shift I would go riding with him once in a while. Several times when I was waiting for him to finish with reports for the night, I would hear some of the other cops telling each other things that they had gotten away with in thier off duty hours because they flashed thier badge. Things like speeding, running redlights/stop signs, etc. I heard one cop telling how he and a fellow cop got pulled over for racing and he flashed his badge and the cop that pulled him over just turned and walked away grumbling " I should have known it was a po-po". What got me was they laughed and joked about getting out of the very things thier so eager to chase "the others" down for that they claim thier life is "put on the line".
