I have been the victim of crime

[david13]

many times. And no cop ever did anything about it. Other than harass me. And then ignore me. So this idea that we are all 'safe' because of the cops is ludicrous at best.
Or that they are all 'heroes'? My definition of a hero is someone who DOES NOT get a paycheck. My definition of someone who gets a paycheck is a person who is supposed to do the job they are paid to do, and not to goof it up.
Not a lot of cops do that.

2. That's because you swore at him.

Now if you had restrained yourself you would have gotten a better outcome.

3. I think that a cop can be a hero, but just because they are a cop doesn't mean

they are automatically a hero.

4. Yeah, society would be just fine without L&O....not.

Read this and tell me that some cops aren't heroes.

Try to shake some of that bias loose.

5. Well, fuck that shit!

My idea of a hero is somebody that doesn't play forum cop.
