Cop shoots bike thief

[GhostTX]

Not for a thief.

No doubt.

Even looked like the perp was aiming his gun at the cop.

[hustleman]

That's an asinine statement.

Tough to be when it's the truth.

Aren't you a cop? This one is pretty cut and dry. Cop saw thief with gun. Cop shoots thief with gun.

Provide a link, since they should be so prevalent.

I have zero issues with the outcome. I'm just making a statement about this 3/4 members of this board and how they hate cops handling their business. Just my opinion.

I think the issue most people have with cops is not this kind of justice but just the opposite. They are worried about revenue enforcement and law enforcement is secondary. Just my $.02

I haven't seen that happen here with videos that are this incriminating. Almost reads like you are trying to fill some gingerbread shoes.

Technicalities of a situation are not applicable to some folks I guess.

Really! This tells me that you do not know many police officers. Not one guy on my shift enjoys writing tickets, however it is part of my job. Can you go to work and sit on your ass everyday or just drive around burning gas? I write fix it tickets 99 percent of the time because I realize everyone fucks up. We caught a bank robber three weeks ago and we caught the area burglar this week after he assaulted a homeowner. My old ass chased him into a creek and woods for a ways. I even went down pretty hard in the creek once. I was cut up, soaking wet, and muddy as hell. But yeah your right, all cops are just revenue generators.

Again, provide a link of this happening. With all the "FTP" threads out there, one should be easy to find, right? I'm mean, 3/4s of the site hate police and all, and we've had plenty of police threads. There should be a veritable library out there to back up those statistics that aren't completely off the wall or anything.

You have more patience than I do. As soon as that motherfucker was in my line of sight, I would have shot him. This is why I'm not a cop, lol.

Ever been through DWG?

Hell, or Coppell?

I was behind him in the squad going through a field into a creek area. I thought shit I better slow down before I end up on the news. It was funny watching him disappear into the creek face first not knowing it was there. I will admit, even though I saw him bust it, I went down in the exact same area. I even slowed down and was careful. It was muddy and rocky as hell, a bad combination with any foot wear. It looked good on camera though!

I am not saying there are not guys out there that enjoy writing citations. I have worked with many over the years. Usually only a few out of the many though.

In general I'd say I'm not far off the mark. I see plenty of rutted areas along the highways and medians from running radar/laser to catch speeders. I know quite a few police officers, I was a EMT/paramedic for six years and dealt with officers on a daily basis. Not all are about screwing people over I'll give you that but most get off on how many tickets they write or how many people they take to jail. I was called into work not long ago when we had a mass casualty incident and I was going 70 in a 60. I was in uniform and explained where I worked and why I was speeding. He didn't seem to care at all and wrote me the ticket. I'm sure there are great officers who are there to make a difference and help people, but there are plenty who just want to see how many people they can ticket or arrest.
