I am guilty of leaving the Police Department for more money. I had to survive and police work for both my husband I was not going to give us the better things in life. He has continued in the law enforcement field and I chose the money. We are happy. He has been a cop since June 1973. Still at it. I miss it. I cant drive through Beaumont Texas without saying "hey I remember a call I made there and there and there..." It will always be a part of me. You dont hire in and go through the interview with the lame response..."I want to be a cop to help people"...You are really not helping them you are "mediating" their fights. You are not pro-active you are re-active. You are their problem solver...PERIOD! If you go through the job for 8 hours you see so much SHIT! I changed. I was a quiet, introverted person. HA! NO MORE! I am not going to say I had ROBCOP syndrome but I had to take control or I was going to get hurt. Not too many guys out there are going to take orders from a female officer. I had to back up what I said. I saw my fair share of things...I thank GOD for not getting killed... I feel like I did my dues and YEAH I do feel like I am owed PROFESSIONAL COURTESY. I appologize for starting this thread. ZEDD,mnboy and topbananna you guys all have your views and you all both entitled to them. I respect all of you!! You are my BRO's...You have all helped me out tremendously...I have nothing bad at all to say about any of you...

As I said in the beginning I knew my opinion would not be too popular. I'm not going to take my time to reply to 3767's further comments since his replies turned into personal attacks against me instead of my opinions and ideas. First rule of debate, attack the opinion not the person. _____________________________ Zedd Top Banana Daytona #1641 SC FlashPaq AirRaid TB Spacer Volant CAI SpinTech Mufflers and MagnaFlow resonators (in reply to topbanna3767) Post #: 34

Bull. What is the difference? Hmm? Whoever started the police are reactive, not pro active rant is full of BS... I know I've heard this on Rush and other "knowledgeable" programs, and I can see what THEY are saying (reacting), however, THAT is a generalization of the job -- of ANY job. These are "spins" of words -- rhetoric, pure rhetoric. For every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction, said Sir Issac Newton -- tell me ANY job that isn't reactive... I see garbage on the corner, I pick it up, I'm a garbage collector; I hear a baby cry, and change it's diaper or feed it, I'm a babysitter; I hear my phone ring, I answer it, I'm a teenager (LOL); I have a report due, I read my assignments to gather information to write it, I'm a college student; I pick up injured people and take them to a hospital, I am an EMT; You show me an empty cup, I pour coffee, I am a waitress; I see a dangerous felon and take him off the streets, I am a police officer... etc, etc So what's proactive? Doing your job... MN PS -- I see a Mustang, I want to smoke it, I'm a Charger Owner... < Message edited by mnboy -- 9/2/2006 6:30:28 AM > (in reply to dodgegirl67) Post #: 36

RE: Close calls or expensive stops?? - 9/2/2006 10:21:37 AM    dodgedlr Posts: 465 Joined: 6/3/2006 Status: offline Well heres my expensive ticket story. I was 18... maybe 19. Middle of January, a friend and I are out snowmobiling through town after a blizzard. New cop in a small town - he came from a bigger town and had a huge chip on his shoulder. Now first of all I will admit I was definately in the wrong here - but it was fun - and makes a good story. We were riding down Main St. at 10 or 11 pm. No big deal, lots of people do it. But the street was really icey, so we were spinning cookies, and jumping the snow piled up at the corners. Here comes the new deputy... We aim North and pin the throttle. Blow a stop sign, hit triple digit speeds, and leave the deputy far behind. Well later he finds out who we were. And we volunteer to meet him in his office.... when we get there he starts dealing out traffic tickets like playing cards..I think we each got five...totalling close to $800, and a required court appearance. A week later we both get letters from the DA... knocked down to 6 months probation (meaning no traffic tickets) and if we broke that we only got a $60 speeding ticket. _____________________________ For your TOTM consideration.

RE: Close calls or expensive stops?? - 9/2/2006 8:22:34 PM    mnboy   Posts: 714 Joined: 1/27/2006 Status: offline dodgedlr, MOST first offenses are deferred, meaning, if you behave yourself for the next six months, your ticket(s) will vaporize. But it usually only happens if your slate is clean and it is your first offense. Yeah, it's tough to get away when on the side of your snowmobile are 6" reflective numbers and letters of registration . Good story. MN (in reply to dodgedlr) Post #: 38

RE: Close calls or expensive stops?? - 9/3/2006 3:45:10 AM    NiceRT   Posts: 2 Joined: 9/3/2006 Status: offline Wow. I am new hear I know. I have read many many posts and pages. I read this one too. I love my RT and have done things to it. I do have a question on this thread though. I read many thins about cops and stuff but I am wondering why no matter what is said only this Z4edd guy is the one mentioned? Not everybody agreed with the ones who say they are cops. Topbanana3969 or whomever. I like cops. They like me. I thought the Daytonort guy was meaner about cops. If this the way this forum is maybe I'm in the wrtong place. The last guy. KayleysDad or whatever. How come you have a topless picture of your kid? Isn't that just a little worong? (in reply to topbanna3767) Post #: 41

And worse yet why would you even look at such a Happy baby pic. And think about why she has no shirt. You may want to take your self to your local PD and reg's. your self.

RE: Close calls or expensive stops?? - 9/3/2006 8:13:47 PM    dodgegirl67 Posts: 155 Joined: 4/28/2006 Status: offline Oh come on now mnboy...Work one eight hour shift as a cop in a busy town and you will see you are being reactive not proactive..Going from call to call...They are actually calling you while you are still out on a call to go to another call...That is REACTIVE....Riding around stopping by the park to chit chat with local teens and just be out there to be seen is done on days..some of the time...Work evenings and midnights and you run from call to call...Just like working at a refinery...85% of the work on the equipment is reactive..."Hey we got a bad reading on this valve or signal in the control room, can you look at it before it shuts the unit down?"...Reactive....Not.."Hey can you shut this part of the unit down so I can do a PM (preventative maintenance) on this valve?" Yeah right...I can really see them doing that for me. All I am saying is, it was my experience that MOST of my work for the PD was REACTIVE not proactive...Why dont you do a poll at your local pd and find out if they think they are being REactive or PROactive and get back to me? Let's end this nonsense. I am sorry I ever started this thread...I guess the next thread I start will be PROACTIVE...Because this one was definitely REACTIVE. _____________________________ [/image]http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m154/DFChopShop/JulesSig.jpg[/image] (in reply to karleysDAD) Post #: 44

I was abit taken back by it, in fact. I think the same as you do Dad, if someone is thinking along that line, they better think of help! MN (in reply to karleysDAD) Post #: 45
