We had badges for a while but then some kid went crazy because kids on bikes wouldnt stop for him, so he chased down one of the kids and deflated his tires with the badges pin thing.

Hehe, I always wanted to be on the safety patrol in elementary school Me and this kid (who I would describe as a troublemaker) applied, but we were denied on the assumption that we would abuse the power... I've always picked bad company (or does bad company pick me?) ... Ok, we're way off topic now.

Well I wont mention my four year tour on LAPD Swat or anything, but I must say it’s a lot different out here in the east then what I am used to out west. I must say racism is extremely high out here, therefore I can see how cops here tend to be a bit racist, I mean look where they have grown up and what values have been taught to them from their ageing parental figures. As for corruption, I took 4 years of college credited courses revolving around military history AND criminal justice, the professor, “Mr. Rollins,” was a Navy Seal in Nam then joined the police force when he returned home out in Oklahoma. From there he went into swat, transferring in and out of LAPD Swat, Dallas Swat and PHX Swat during his career. He once told us there are corrupt cops, there will always be corrupt cops, but for every corrupt cop there are 100 legit cops. Viewing an entire profession on a few bad eggs is stupidity in its own right. That’s like saying; Dice is a cheap-mo-fo who sells legit airsoft websites to people via ebay illegally. (Sorry dice needed an example, u cheap-mo-fo!) So are we going to say all people associated with airsoft are cheap-mo-fos? No we aren’t. As already stated the police are here to protect us, they lower their boundary of security to protect ours each and every day. To disrespect them is to be a moron in a pink tutu … with white poke-a-dots… and a “skid mark”… yea. I think most of this “bad” cop paranoia comes from TV and gullible teenagers. Don’t get me wrong; movies like Training Day are great, very entertaining and somewhat disturbing but it is only a movie. Don’t ask why the cop is arresting you; ask what you have done to make the cop arrest you. Common sense, water, and a little food is all it takes to get threw life… wow look at me, what a silly post, though I hope my point was some what made.

Well I wont mention my four year tour on LAPD Swat or anything, Wow, do I feel like an ass! You did however shine a beacon of light in this post full of chaos. Oh yeah, at my grade school there was a rivalry against the "bikers" and "crossing guards" too. Guess which side I was on? Yes, the kids on bikes. Some things never change.

Extremely racist? That's not my experience at all, though it could just be the area where I live. You are aware of the rumors regarding your town, aren't you Viking?

Shees, this post realy was realy missunderstood. I think I should file this under forum posts that were exaggerated. I didnt say police where corrupt, I was just saying their not "the best of the best". Yes what I saw was what I got from T.V. were else do you see shootouts. And yes the police I'm bad talking talking about where the ones that I've had contact with. Sorry but I didnt want right a full paper about how cops have been in my life. It should have been common sense. Plus the thing about abusive fathers, that was a joke.
Realy you guys took this alittle out of proportion. Gees while were at it who thinks the goverment is going to take away our right to bear arms.
Next time I'll remember when I post, people take every word like it you wrote it in advance and then proofread it for policaly incorrect mistakes.

If only I could let go all the things that people have said about my father, and my brother, and me for being in the CJ program. Put yourself their shoes.

You expect people to let things go. My experiance isn't very good no one let anything go when I sold off Airsoft Atlanta they are still bugging me about it. I'm sorry and I won't do it again. Anyway I didn't even make any money I just lost five bucks from auction fees.
