To much drama were i live,
two streets up teens are arrested for trying to start a car fire.
one street down our my mothers friend is arrested for slapping her husband for dirty dancing with another woman on new years and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again. across the main road a neighbors car blew up (not purposely). just 1 or two days ago a lady riding her bike was hit by a car and is, i hate to say it but was most likely dead on arrival.

When the time comes, go to college..... far away.

I know that feeling... Marion County Or. seems to be the bomb capitol of the U.S. ;)
Last summer we had pipe bombs placed at a Roths grocery store, an ARCO gas station (that coulda ended badly...), and under the guys wife's car... then a big ball bomb outbreak...
Then just this month we had a Bank of America bombed killing a State Trooper, and a City cop (Cpt. I think?) and wounding the cheif who's still in critical condition. Then on Christmas Eve, my bio-mom (managment office at the major mall here in town) got a call saying there was a bomb by exit 4, bomb squad was called in, ruled it a deffinite explosive device, got their little robot in, and water blasted it where there was a defening explosion...
Very, very ugly around here as of late...
Hope your drama clears up right quick though sir, stay safe, and best of luck. :salute

Come to Iowa. Nothing happens here most of the time. :aok

Either scenerio sounds like a typical day in Philly, without the gunshots of course :)
Not to mention a typical night :noid

Where do you live? Beirut? :huh

Where I live, it's friendly. Everyone is "everyone's friend" from what we like to call it. :rock
Shoot, even our meanest cops won't get ya for breaking the law unless you're like doing drugs or seriously speeding. BUT, when they do get ya, you're going away for a long time in Williamson County Texas....

Not anymore, but it was close enough......
Kensington. About a block from the K & A. :noid

Philly cops usually don't get you for breaking the law, either, hence all the gunshots. In fact, I think we are up to 3 or 4 cops killed, this year so far. two were shot, and 2 others were killed by perps driving stolen vehicles. One was in the squad car and T-boned. The other, a woman, was actually ran over. :noid
Philly cops will bust you for dope, slap you around a bit. and then take your stash home for themselves. That's why you never take everything that you have with you when you go out to party. :aok

I honestly could never live where it's average is below 50 more than 10% of the year.... (Yea, it's that hot in Central Texas... w00t!)
Difference between Texas and Philly: Cold/Hot, and when you hear the gunshot, someone is actually dead or about to die and the police are expected to be there in about a minute. Better leave or find out your story, otherwise, you could be going away for a long long time.

Lucky if Philly cops come within 1/2 hour. :lol
I imagine it's much easier to hide in Philly than central Texas.
And I couldn't live somewhere that my balls sweat and I got swamp arse 90% of the year, or so dry that I need a swamp cooler to add humidity to the air so my A/C will actually work, so we are even.
Plus, I need some rain or snow from time to time to make mud for the O|||||||O.

gotta give em a little credit.....
a friend has a coupls stores on 5th street...a block or two off of south.
in the 2 years i've known her, she's needed to call the police 3 times to the store. the longest response time was 5 minutes, although it seemed longer, as i was helping hold a shoplifter..........
-
Betcha wouldn't get that kinda response time in West Philly :noid
Maybe now you would, though. Ever since Nutter has been mayor, he has been putting up with a LOT less doo-doo than Street was.

It's not the fear of getting busted.
It's the fear of them finding out and taking it away (w/o charging me with a crime)
What exactly do you think happens to it in that situation? :noid
:rofl

Come to Tennessee but stay away from Memphis... Only thing we really have to worry about where I live is a tornado. Every time a Tornado comes to TN, it hits us first (being we're right across the river from Arkansas). It's been really calm though lately. Our Crime rates aren't that bad. Like all towns we have our good people and bad people...but what am I to say...I dont like anybody :D

I'm sure they are hiring VonMessa if you think you can do better.
That is if you can keep off the drugs long enough. :huh

I have literally been ticking the minutes away, wondering when your $0.02 was going to arrive.
First of all, half of what I say is in jest.
Second of all, I commend you on your choice of profession, and I say this with all sincerity.
I should be clearer and more precise with my jabs. By this, I mean that the root of most problems around here begin with the city.
I don't know where you work, but if it is in a metro area, you have probably seen it.
* Thugs that are better armed and better protected than the police are.
* The municipality blatantly wasting taxpayer money where it is not needed, but crying poor when it comes to cops' salaries.
* In the same vein, cutting the amount of police used to patrol the same (or larger) area
* Cops taking payoff from thugs and getting a month's worth of salary in 1 bribe for looking the other way for 5 minutes (not because he is a "dirty" cop, but more so he can afford to send his kids to a school OUTSIDE of the city)
I could go on and on. I do not envy you, or any other cop.
The city of Philadelphia has a new mayor, now, and lot of things are quickly changing for the better such as..
* sing State police to patrol the highways and interstates in, and surrounding the city which frees-up more manpower for use inside the city.
* Keeping a better budget for salaries, training, and modern armament/equipment.
* A public statement from the mayor about how he will stand behind the police force when it comes to dropping crime rates in the city.
So far he has been backing up his words with action.
So..........
I'm not really cop-bashing. It's more like a long-standing inside joke that someone would understand better if they were from around here, such as CAP1.
For as long as I can remember, it has been a toos up to which side of the river has the worst crime, Camden (NJ) or Philly.

Geez Messa. Your right! I used have used my ESP powers and figured all that out on my own instead of just figuring your a bong-hitting cop whiner.

dude....even in light of what i said about the philly pd in the south street area......overall, von is correct about the philly pd. i've lived in this area my whole life. my ex wife is from northeast philly. while we were dating, then married, we lived in an apartment at frankford and rhawn. wasn't toooooo bad there back then......
we seperated, and i moved back to the PRNJ.
he is right though. come work in philly for a bit. you'll see.
ooo....and i don't drink, or do drugs. i do, however say what i feel, and see though.

I only call it as I see it.
I'm still wondering what town it is (or you can be vague and supply a region) that you are an active duty police officer in.
How typical.

Well, at the Silverton, OR PD... They get one of their guys whose allergic to weed to take a whiff, if he breaks out, then someone gets to take it into State Police in Salem, and only god knows what happens after that. :D

Used to train shepherds for the Reading, PA State Police with my mom.
Moth balls.
After smelling them, it makes it really hard to smell anything else for a while.

avoiding arrest through deception will only put off the inevitable because eventually druggies and criminals will make a mistake and get caught through their own stupidity. Police officers are only doing their job, and those of us who are law abiding citizens respect and commend them.
no place on this planet for drug users or sellers. distorting reality through drug use is a sign of a week mind and an inability to deal with problems.
"lets bury our head in the sand and the problem will go away"

THEN why is it that we have so many liquor stores?

/me tucks up into a corner and prepares for a lock.
I'm not a big fan of making dogs smell moth balls...I would think doing that several times would have some sort of negative implications for the dog's health, if it temporarily "blinds" the dog's sense of smell. This being said:
1. Don't know where to start here. I respect and commend those police officers who do their job in a fair manner, without a massively inflated ego. I've met plenty of officers who deserve the utmost respect, and many who deserve none. The position does not dictate respect -- how the position is carried out does. I used to work for the NY Sherriff's Association, so I've met and worked with plenty of policemen.
2. I haven't done it in quite some time, but for those of my friends who continue to use "light" drugs, they are not trying to deal with any problems. Its and enjoyable pass-time, and nothing else. Unforunately, some users cannot draw this distinction, which then creates the lovely generalizations which you have so elequently portrayed for us. For myself and my friends, it was no different than drinking a few beers.

Thanks CAP, I meant to make that anology as well :)

I live in a relatively crime free area, so therefore I may be somewhat naive when it comes to crooked cops, as we dont have enough crime for that to be profitable. On that note, a crooked cop deserves the same fate as any other criminal.
as far as the "recreational drug user" goes, how do you distinguish between him or a more serious user.
they both get the stuff from somewhere. A large drug supplier is ultimately at the top of the supply chain.
Some of the drugs brought in on the shipment used by recreational users find their way into our schools and first time users who otherwise would not have access to it if it were not smuggled in , in the first place.
The difference between alcohol and drugs is one is legal and the other is not. plain and simple.
Alcohol is processed and inspected at the manufacturer level while drugs can and are made in some low educated greedy scumbags basement with an assortment of filthy non sterile instruments and who knows what kind of ingredients.
would any of you "recreational drug users" recommend your children begin using your preferred drug of choice?
(Lets assume you have or will eventually have children)

even crime free areas have crooked cops.....that cop that might write you up for a headlight out is technically crooked, as 10 years ago, that would've been a warning........
i would not want my kid drinking or doing any drugs at all....they all lead to worse stuff.....

Not the case. My friends grew their own in the middle of upstate New York, and I assure you no one outside of the group ever got hold of it. Again, generalizations abound here. Keep in mind, it was always limited to marijunana -- I tend not to be associated with "heavy" drug users.
As far as my kids go -- if they want it, they are going to get it on their own. The best thing you can do is educate your kids about the ramifications of their actions, and keep them informed. I would not be GIVING my child drugs, nor would I encourage it. However, I'm not going to be the father who REFUSES to talk with their kids out of the "its terrible in principle" clause. Additionally, with education you can easily avoid the "gateway" syndrome. I've never tried anything heavy, nor have my friends.
If you are going to use the "alcohol is inspected and not shady" argument...if it were legalized marijuana would be the same once it main-streamed a bit. As far as social and phsyical health impacts go, its very similar to alcohol in most respects.
Its a very loaded topic. It's one of those where people rarely change their minds. I just hope to break down some of the generalizations surrounding it, as much as is possible.

main difference being, that people tend to turn somewhat violent when they're drunk. balls in a bottle.

I'm an active duty police officer in Oklahoma. I wouldn't tell you the city either. Mostly because this is my santuary away from that world. I don't have to be a cop here. I can be Rep0.
As far as being anti-police and a pot-head; I don't care. I've flown against you and you're a stand-up opponent. Great fights and always a <S> at the end. That's what matters in this cartoon world we have here. You dogging on the police isn't going to ruffle my feathers at all. There is corruption in a small percentage of every occupation out there. Bad cops, though make up a very small number of the total amount of cops in this country, make us good ones look bad. I will continue to uphold the oath I took and do it with honor and integrity.

i like that attitude.
you are soooo right, that it only takes a few, to make the many look bad.
like i mentioned in another forum, i got stopped in my E350 a few weeks ago. it has my shop name on it. so one of somerdales finest decided that i was such a menace to society, that he had to stop me, due to the lack of commercial tags. i still don;t know how much the fine might be, as it's a court appearence required. i'm like WTF? i did nothing to draw his attention, not even speeding. he's just out to generate money for the township. sooo...since that was my only recent dealing with the somerdale pd, what do you think that makes me think of the rest of em?
that being said, i have the utmost respect for the honest cops out there.....you guys have what i would think is the most difficult job out there. (and nowhere near the payscale for what you guys have to deal with)

You have my point, exactly.
First of all, I'm not cop bashing. I have a neighbor who is a cop and he is one of the laid-back neighbors on the block. He is nothing like the police I knew as a kid.
If anything, I was breaking balls on Philly cops, because that's what I grew up and had the chance to see as an example, through the "leadership" of Mayors Frank Rizzo and Wilson Good, how some police are not what they are cracked up to be. Growing up, I saw a lot of shady stuff. As with anything, there are exceptions to the rules.
To say that I don't like police, in general, would be silly because that is certainly the case. I completely respect the oath that officers take and I can't imagine that it's an easy job, in any capacity.
The reason I asked about a location is that, depending upon the region where you live, a major crime could range from stolen golf clubs to a triple homicide (which an inner-city cop might need to deal with before his first cup of coffee)
Now that I live in the burbs, police response is much better, and the quality and integrity of the officers is much better. It's not rocket science. I also understand the "circle the wagons" response to an derogatory comment about police. The normal human response is to defend your brothers, but, as with any profession there are good and bad folks who practice it.
I was basically making a tongue-and-cheek joke about the original post in this thread, as in "It's really that bad in Mayberry, huh?" Your post was the first, honest, non knee-jerk reaction from an officer of the law that didn't end with a "You are a pot-head, cop whiner" ending.
So I wholeheartedly respond in kind.
<S> Repoman
The thing that amuses me the most are the folks who jump in and hijack with their "All drugs are bad and evil (except the ones we made legal and taxed)" response. Someone, somewhere, in some way, people are getting hurt because of the evilness of drugs.
Well I say, tell the wife to return all that crap the you got from Wal-Mart for Christmas, because I'll bet that somewhere, at some point, something you have purchased was made in a sweat shop by some 12 year old kid.
Honestly? Sell holier-than-though, somewhere else.
A whole new thread could be started on the subject of what is more evil (because of current legal status). One of the major reasons that the federal government repealed prohibition is because of the amount of, ans new kinds of crime that it spawned and propagated.

My neighbourhood is heating up too.. :(
Yesterday a guy two houses down found a plastic bag on his driveway. He accused the nextdoor neighbour of not closing his garbage can properly so the bag in question was allowed to fly out when the wind picked up. The neighbour admittet that that may have been the case and apologized, but for awhile there it was pretty tense.
