Re: Act of kindness
Wow, you and EventHorizon must be drinking buddies. You even quoted my statements and got some idea that I am filled or blinded by hate. I guess calling it how it is must be hating. Where did I give my opinion of people not in LE? Could you please highlight it. If by using the LE/ non-LE term to differentiate the two, its no more or less demeaning than comparing a group of iron workers to people who are not. In fact there is nothin opinionated in doing so. It a descriptive term, get over it.

You want to consider him an equal, yet you attach a label to him like this"

You have actualy had to fabricate bullshit in a desperate attempt to turn the table to make me into a hater. Then you say I am putting him on a pedestal? How? Because I am proud to be a part of the same community this guy is from? Thats praise? Saying I am filled with hate?
My first post in this thread:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: desertrat1979</div><div class="ubbcode-body">There is nothing hypocritical about this. The fact that there are only 4 replies to this is a testament to what folks are really interested in. If it were a "cop gone bad" post, you can bet the usual flys would be circling the pile, only to reinforce how they "feel" cops really are. But, since this goes against common threads, it will collect dust.
This officer and the deputy in a TSA related post, are what police are really about. Its what makes me proud to be in this line of work. Politics and administators are not the feet on the street. But there are folks here that will not hesitate to slam that officer simply because he is NYPD and NY laws are not what we would like to see, regardless of what kind acts he does. </div></div>
Where is the hate? I made a prediction, accurate one I might add, that there are people willing to minimize this simply because of the profession and/or department the guy belongs to. You did just that. Thanks for proving me right.
Tell you what. I will feel foolish and silly, and remain silent in any social based threads if you can:
1) Find a quote where I have placed myself in some category that I am better.
2) Again, prove that I am about people bowing down to law enforcement
3) Find something, somewhere that shows some form of hatred, demonstrated by me. (besides my hate for the TSA, which I freely admit)
And finally:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> If you weren't so fucking blind with hate, you might see that I said "Should be expected"! Who said anything about law or policy? Went beyond his job? No shit, thanks for stating the obvious.
</div></div>
So, for cops to do what their "expected" to do, you feel they are required to spend their own money? Yet you acknowledge that he went beyond his job...Which is it? Did he do what was expected or beyond? Since you consider yourself on equal terms, am I to assume you do the same regularly? As far as the higher standard aspect to this whole story, I hold the officer, and ANY OTHER PERSON with much higher regard than someone who can't be bothered. If thats hating, well I guess I am just gonna go through life being a hater. Oh, to clarify, while I don't have personal experience with EVERY agency in the US, I am going to assume that for any other officer to do what is "expected" it is probably outlined in the agency policy, in addition to federal, state, and local laws and statutes. That is how cops know what is "expected" of them.
So, if someone else would like to chime in, maybe give this guy a hand at making me look bad (because he sucks at doing it himself), I am sure it would be appreciated.
EH!!! we're missing you over here, come help ATHHUD make shit up and jump to wild assumptions and conclusions based on nothing!!!!
