Enough is Enough!

To lump the last three together, it wasnt lecturing, and it was making the point that I dont need special equipment, OT pay, or a way to be reimbursed for my time to help someone. I also dont need the recognition, which is why I didnt mention my name.

Missed entirely? I dont think so, it just didnt fit the answer that you want from me.

Ive never mentioned a free coke, and as its private enterprise not funded by my tax dollars, I could care less. If I dont like something that Thorntons does, then i have the ooption of purchasing gas somewhere else.

I didnt stop any potential criminals that I know of, though I was the driver that chased Trent Marion into Indiana making him their problem. I dont know how many people sleep safely in their homes because of me, if any, but I do know that people LIKE me are responsible for them HAVING that home, and all of those precious belongings inside. The point being, it was my job to do, and I did it. If I didnt like what my company was doing, I had the same options you have, to quit and go to work elsewhere, not beg, whine, cry, and LIE to the public about what I did so that I could fool those who cannot think for themselves into supporting me.

Lastly, I am not a hero, and never in my life called myself one. It is doubtful that I would be the cop doing 55, because I too speed. Unlike cops, I run the risk of paying the fines for violating the law. All of you who sit here and want to justify why cops should not be held accountable for their actions must have relatives who get you out of a ticket, or you are truly the most brainless part of society to think that laws shouldnt be equally enforced.

As to your free car, it is YOU company, not my tax dollars paying for it, and just as with Thorntons, if I didnt want to patronize your company, I have the option to do so. Breaking the law is not a perk, and as such all of my questions go unanswered, IF you deem breaking the law ok for cops, where does it end? how far can they step over the line? speeding, no problem. Running a red light? Driving the wrong way on a 1-way street? driving on the shoulder of the interstate? All of those are examples that by themselves seem minor, but all have cost the life of a citizen at the hands of an officer because they disregarded traffic laws.

You can keep it up with your petty little insults, and your pointing out typos, but your refusal to point them out on posts of fellow cops tells me that I am hitting a little too close to home for most, if not all, of you. Your inability to use factual evidence to make your point shows me that you know you have lost, and that I am right. You just dont like that I am right, so you sling your little names, throw some mud, insinuate that I am somehow intellectually inferior to you and make your own day brighter. Well, you can try to prop yourselves up at my expense, but fact is a funny thing. I may get nowhere arguing with you here, but like it or not, you all know that you have failed to prove me wrong.

Fact has nothing to do with ego, it stands on its own.
