Enough is Enough!

I think this argument is stupid. If I had a cop car, I'd speed. WE ALL SPEED, just some of us get away with it and others don't. This moral lecture about cops being allowed to "break the law" is stupid. I break the law everyday on my way home because I don't do 55 on the xway. Wah wah. I don't care if a cop speeds by because I certainly would if I had the car.

The angry, police hating truck driver is back to tell his story.

Well hello there again, angry little truck driver. I am just a citizen that appreciates those that serve the community doing the jobs that others do not want to or have the courage to do and yes I do believe hero applies, maybe not to all, but to most. Again it is obvious that you have had bad experiences with the police and have probably received many tickets for violating the law. I have a few myself, so as you like to say, WAAAAA. I also feel very sorry for you that you cannot get into lunch sometimes because your truck is too big to fit into the lot. I would imagine sometimes your head and ego is also too big to fit through doorways.

Now to your profession and my displeasure with truck drivers. Often times I do not like to go past a large truck because "you all" tend to hog the roadways and drive in half of my lane also. Why must you all think that you are better than us regular citizens? Just because your trucks are bigger than my Toyota Camry doesn't mean you should take advantage of the situation and roadways. Often at night, when I am doing the speed limit, but apparently not fast enough for you, you roll up on my rear bumper as if you are going to push me off the roadway. Is there no limit to what you truck drivers will excuse yourselves from doing??????? Oh wait, I am starting to sound like you, I sure would not want to do that. So how about this, I realize that all truck drivers do not do this to me and there are many that follow the laws. The ones that do these things to me just seem to stick out because those trucks are so big, kind of like those police cars stand out because they have all those decals and lights on them. I have seen on numerous occasions the kindness of truck drivers, pulling over to help people that have just been involved in a accident or needing help. I had a truck driver stop to help me on one occasion and I was very appreciative. AND I have observed this from many police officers stopping to help people while they were dressed in t-shirts and shorts. I am guessing that they were probably off duty and this was not the uniform. During the FernCreek High School incident with a man with a gun supposed to be in the school, I observed by way of the media, numerous if not most police officers running towards the school in regular clothes, not uniforms, also probably off duty. While other people were running away.

So the moral of this long story is: there are bad apples and those that do not always abide by every law in every profession. But... that does not mean they are all the same? NO, Next response from you will I'm sure be directed at how stupid I am and I shouldn't even post dumb things, you must think you are just smarter than everyone else, just like you have been responding to everyone police officer or citizen on here to try and get back at police for your bad experiences. It is definitely easier to type on a computer and be anonymous, rather than to have walked in the Qdoba and confronted these officers about speeding to get to eat before they are given their next run. Next time you see a 1999 tan Toyota Camryw/ a red bumper sticker on the right bottom of bumper and I am going over the speed limit and then I pull in to a restaraunt to eat and you feel this displeasure for my unlawful actions, please go ahead and come in and tell me, so I can laugh at you and tell you what a goofball you are being. Do you see how goofy you sound on all of your postings? Not everyone police officer should be harrased on here by your irritating replies. If truck drivers were getting the shaft on issues that were going to affect their jobs and families, do you think police officers would be on your trucker website posting comments about you and the things that irritate them about truckers? NO, THEY WOULDN'T. Just goes to show your maturity level and lack of anything else to do. So from a concerned and appreciative citizen that got on this site to post a positive comment and show my appreciation for a job well done. Police Officers, Thank-you for all you do and try to ignore this moron, just look at him as job security-they probably won't lay you off because then who would deal with ignorant bullies like this.............. To you the angry little truck driver, I truly believe what goes around comes around and karma always catches up to you. So instead of playing like god and judging others, how about you just worry about yourself and your actions. It will probably be a police officer that pulls you from a wrecked truck someday or helps your family in some way, and then I wonder, will it be enough for you to drop the grudge and to forget about those tickets that you have received? Only you will know........
