You said " have a great Christmas", yet the troll could be Jewish... "you" police are all alike! :)

You argue that my generalizations of 'you' are incorrect. I assert they are not. Were I to claim ALL cops were thieves, or, as Coleman wrongly labeled, "murderers with badges' (for which I defended you with the same vigor I attack you now), then that would, in fact, be erroneous.

When an officer gets hurt, and someone suggests an escort to the hospital, is there an inevitable rift between those who say YES, and those who say, "maybe we shouldnt?" No. there isnt. You act like that 'brotherhood' that is always mentioned here, isnt in effect when its used against you. See, I know cops, enough to have opinions verified off the record. You deny it, because it is a negative generalization. You dont seem to have a problem when the generalization is made to make you look positive, as in "all cops put their lives on the line every day," a statement that is easily show to NOT be true. But you dont take issue with that, do you? Hypocrite much? That is hardly an ad hominem attack by me.

"Just because you do or do not see something on the news does not mean it is a full representation of the facts and reality"

IF that were a factual statement, then it would only be logical to feel the way I do, and you should be apologizing to me for the appearance of things, but acknowledging that things look the way I perceive them. Do you? No, you attack me, and some even threaten me, you try to intimidate me constantly, because of what again? Oh yeah, because I see things EXACTLY as you claim the media portray them!

I have NEVER failed acknowledge you all for taking that girl to the hospital, she had been f'ing shot in the head.

I would EXPECT such treatment for a child. The problem comes for the MINOR incidents in which you give YOURSELVES preferential treatment that you deny others. When is the last flesh wound of a civilian, or a self administered CRIME that got a roads closed police escort to the hospital.

EXAMPLE: I had a friend, who had a gun cleaning accident, (No, not a criminal, and its happened to you all too) who discharged a gun accidentally. Glocks had that problem for long time. He was shot through his hand. His brother was taking him to the hospital, and flagged down a cop at a traffic light. What did that cop do? yeah, he called an ambulance, and LEFT. Didnt even wait for it to get there. THAT is the typical reaction to the citizens, that they do NOT deserve the special treatement that you provide for yourselves. That is selfISH, not selfLESS.

"Lastly, I know you hate it when someone intellectual responds to you. You seem to think everyone here is going to come at you with third grade level semantics and intellect"

No, I actually prefer this kind of response. Id rather be forced to think, and to lay out exactly what it is I am saying, because THAT is the only way a problem will ever be addressed. When I sat in the chiefs office for an hour and a half, you can bet I was at my best, made sure that it was not just a session for me to sit and insult him, but to work for a better relationship between cops and the public. BP would have found that out, but when I didnt run from his invitation, he made an excuse to cancel. Same with Paul, he invited me to a ride along, and when I said yes, he never followed through with it.

If I do not know the motivation behind the EMT, then by all means, explain to me where I am in error. It sure as hell wasnt because of valiant injury in the line of duty, so please, set the record straight, and tell me what justification there is for a man who stabbed himself for attention, deserved a road closed escort to the hospital.

Lastly,

"I'm not speaking for you." followed by "I know you hate it when someone intellectual responds to you." are in fact, in direct contradiction with each other.

Its not MY hatred that is prevalent, it is not my 'third grade semantics and intellect' that cause me to list your names and addresses and publicly call for retaliation against you for having an opinion, those are the steps that some of YOU have taken against me, and NONE of you have ever stepped forward to say it is a bad reflection upon your entire department when someone who obviously has access to police records speaks unchallenged FOR you.

So dont take this response as a public insult, but merely as a correction of facts you gave. If you want to have this kind of discussion continued, then I look forward to it. If not, then have your happy holidays, or merry christmas if you prefer.
