The Dallas County Sheriff's Office Is Dumb As A Box Of Rocks

[FiLtH]

Thats wrong. Their paycheck is their incentive. If they dont want to work for that, can their butts.

Lower my taxes and let me carry a fediddleing gun everywhere I go

Hating costs you in many ways. Cops are ordinary people doing an oftentimes thankless job. I too am irritated if I have to pay a fine for being late with my car's safety inspection while I know they look the other way as millions of illegals cost me tax dollars. Foolish to blame the cop though, they make neither the law nor even their own policies.

I rather doubt that Texas has 400.000 cops, but if they do....I feel sorry for the state.

Wow, are you sure that number's right, Rich? That seems' like the number for all the southern' states combined. Unless you're counting all Federal, State, County and municipal agencies' physically inside the state, including the DoC, Probation, Juvenile services, Park Rangers...I.E., anyone wearing a badge of any kind...

troll.

If you think things are so messed up run for office and change it.

If you want to see a good example of what law abiding people do in the absence of order and law enforcement google katrina of la riots.

I'll bet you live in a small town.
 Most small town police become "traffic nazis". They have nothing better to do than hassle anyone breaking the smallest traffic infraction. So if you go 37 in a 35 be prepared for the ticket.

Edit: After you figure out their speed trap locations they start to fit the protect and serve criteria. Instead of the cite and harass.

Concho, I hate to say this, but the N.O.P.D. was a large part of the problem during Katrina. What with half of them walking off the job, or taking part in the looting themselves...

You are absolutely right about N.O.P.D., they were a large part of the problem.

In their abscence people went nuts.

I don't defend **** cops, I've even had the privilege to arrest a dirty cop.
Dirty Cop

All I say is that we (law enforcement as a whole) keep the people who have no regard for others property or lives for the most part at bay.

I hear what you're saying there-During the R.K. riots' in '92, the L.A.P.D. All went and holed up in their Station houses' for a day or so, with most of L.A. left to themselves. But with Katrina, Alot of oaths' got forgotten. It wasn't just holing up; It brought the image that if there is ever a real disaster, Not only are you on your own, but the City has already armed half of the criminal element, and they are wearing badges.

If ever a major disaster strikes your city/town, and policemen come around, how are you going to meet them? After Katrina, Nobody trusts' the N.O.P.D. anymore. Does anyone here trust their local P.D.?

BTW, Concho, WTG on that!

I was in Beaumont the day they re-opened it for the public after Rita.

We had 1000 out of 1500 uniformed Troops an untold ammount of U/C guys on station.  

Execpt for a few isolated events things went off with out a hitch.

There are a lot of "city cops" who aren't qualified to write a speeding ticket muchless be around when things get a little hairy, but please don't lump us all into one lot.
