An open question to those who would kill a police officer....

[ceyko]

Yeah he was radicalized. Yet, in his family and culture he was normal or at least, accepted. I still wanna know, and so does my daughter, why does someone wanna kill me?

Seriously man, you've been giving two or three possible motives. When I was a Soldier - I just assumed everyone loved the military folks, but that's simply not the case. Sometimes you just assume everyone thinks you're doing a great job. YOU may be doing a great job.

However, put yourself in other people's shoes. I personally do not trust most LEOs anymore. Essentially, it feels like the police forces are the enforcers for local/state/federal government and do not have the population's best interest in mind. Granted that's a top down thing, but the folks on the streets are the ones that have the problems from various jacked up policies.

I am not FTP, but like I said I don't trust LEOs.

Now moving on to folks who are just looking for any reason to kill cops. Look at what the media spins! Look at it...just look at it! Essentially it boils down to four things...(2 are more or less fact, 2 are my opinions)

1. Media makes LEOs look bad.
2. Regardless if the LEO is right or wrong, everyone has that little doubt in the back of their mind if it was some sort of cover up (If cleared).
3. Positive police coverage does not draw rating, so it's rarely seen but I believe police do good things throughout everyday. #1 above does draw ratings though!
4. It just seems to me that the police tend to not be very plugged into communities anymore as well. So, no trust for the citizens.

Now to continue if you're black folk and feel slighted by the country as a whole, or just want to kill someone/LEOs - from a mental aspect the politicians and media have given them all the motivation they need.

You're a LEO in a society that is slowly (but increasingly) crumbling and disintegrating. Read up and catch on to reality, good folks at a minimum do not trust LEOs as a whole. Think what bad folks would do.

I do wish the best for you though, be careful out there.

So, my daughter and I both wanna know, why do you want to kill me solely because I am a police officer?

Because the police are the face of what is becoming an oppressive government. The police arrest people for breaking laws without questioning if those laws are just. The police stick their noses into other peoples business and believe that it is the just thing for them to do. The police have stolen more money from people in recent years then actual criminals have through civil forfeiture proceedings. The police have been fighting in a declared internal war against the citizenry for 30 years with no end in sight; that war is the war on drugs which in practice has become a war on the 4th amendment. For some reason the police keep shooting peoples dogs and after an internal investigation done by their brothers in blue the dogs owners are told to go pound sand. The police have gotten away from what they were created for in the first place; protecting people from other people.
I could go on and on but I am tired.

FYI: I have no desire to kill you or yours so long as you do not shoot my dog.

Twice yesterday I said Obama has done what Charlie Manson could not. No one replied. We got a black Pres, and now we have the beginnings of a race war..... I never expected that, but it's happening. Race relations are worse than I've ever seen in my lifetime as a result of electing a black President. I never imagined that was even possible.

Charles Manson sits in prison for murders he didn't commit but helped plan and for trying to start a race war. Obama sits in the White House with a huge smile on his face. Ironic..... If Obama really cared about his race, he would help them get educations and jobs instead of pandering to BLM.

But if Obama had a son he would look just like........well you know. But Anthonys. Gets it.

Well there ya go, murder justified. You're brave for speaking up, but your thought process makes you part of the problem.

Did I say it was justified? No I didn't. You asked for a thought process and I theorized. You're not looking for an answer, you're looking for someone to be pissed at. I wouldn't hurt anyone, but I know how people think.

Honestly. I have worked in two vastly different communities in my 15 years. I was typing something similar to this but just said nahhhhh. Statistics don't lie but anyone that uses the facts gets labeled a racist sometimes. I grew up around good mix of people and in the late eighties to early nineties there was none of this race war bull shit. We all just went to school, had a good time, and fucked off. Department wise I went from a city that averaged 4-6 domestics a day easy, car jacking's, burglaries, assaults etc all the time. We averaged sixty calls a day over there. New city, maybe 4 calls a day and a domestic once a month. My current city reminds me of Duncanville when I was a kid.

I worked that city ten years with no internals or excessive force complaints. Not because I wasn't working, I had plenty of commendations and medals when I left. I do believe being in sales and retail for 12 years helped a lot in dealing with the public.

I honestly don't know what the answer is, but our news media and president are at war with the police for some reason. Oh shit we have a ten second cell phone video and sketchy witness so it must be the fucking truth. Then a month later after the police have been proved just and the lies have been exposed we move on to the next bull shit story.

So tell me, how do we hold the press accountable?

Journalism used to be about reporting facts, now it's about TV ratings and advertising dollars. The average person is too stupid to care about the truth or fActs. Too hard and it takes too long to figure out.

DPD should lead the charge by suing BLM, the AG, and Obama. The county or TX state attorney's office should file charges against the leader of BLM and O. If Charles Manson can rot in prison, so should they.

My daughter asked me a question and for the first time in 17 years I didn't have an answer. She asked me why some one would want to kill me just because I was a police officer. I know all about evil people, and so does she. But solely because I am a police officer you want to kill me? I don't understand and neither does she.


So, my daughter and I both wanna know, why do you want to kill me solely because I am a police officer?

I feel so bad for cops now. They're not there to protect the public for the most part. They spend more time giving parking citations and citing people for expired registrations than anything. It's a waste of their time.

As far as people killing cops because they're cops...it's because they see them as a threat. Animals kill their own kind because they're a threat, and we're just animals with thumbs.

To all the cops here, thank you for being there for us. To everyone else, treat them with respect and maybe they won't be so quick to pull the trigger.

Well there ya go, murder justified. You're brave for speaking up, but your thought process makes you part of the problem.

I already responded to this once, but let me be 100% clear.

1. I do not think the murder of any police officer is justified.

2. My answer doesn't reflect my personal beliefs, it's what I think is going on in the head of a cop killer.

3. I personally hope that any cop killer winds up doing the hell fire rumba when he moves on.

You are a fucking idiot if you think he is part of the problem for answering your question. He never said he wanted to kill anyone, merely pointed out the problem with law enforcement which is defended by other officers. Get your head out of your ass and look in the mirror, look at your department, and publicly crucify bad officers. That thin blue line thing is bullshit. I haven't seen a single post on this board praising shooting cops, but as soon as we start talking about probems and solutions in a civilized manner cops get on here and tell us we are dangerous for pointing out THEIR problems. Look in the mirror and start by cleaning up your own damned department if you want us to trust you again.

I thought we ran this douche off a long time ago? He's a white LEO version of NayNay.

Oh man you got jokes man!

[ceyko]

I don't read all comments typically...too much BS a lot of times. There are many problems, but ya the police right now are either not getting a fair shake or are being exposed...probably a mix of both.

Ultimately though, it's just one aspect. Court and prison systems contribute to a lot of these problems...etc.

Fair enough. Sure came across to me that those thoughts were yours. Especially since I asked for a response from someone who wanted to kill cops.
