What are pigs so afraid of?
 

With all the talk on this board of police brutality I wondered why are pigs so frightened about their job that they have to resort to lethal force to handle what most consider non lethal situation.

I looked up how dangerous their job is to see if there is a justifiable reason why they should feel this way.

The 15 Most Dangerous Jobs In America - Business Insider

Pigs job's ranks 10th as the most dangerous in the US in regards to on the job fatalities. Most of those deaths are traffic related.

More likely to die on the job as a garbage man.

So in reality it turns out they are just being pigs.

Quality post.

What's wrong? Did you aspire for such job and your intellect level was too low? Or did you have a criminal record and couldn't pass a background check? The vast majority of cops out there are hard working honest people who want to raise a family and live the AMERICAN dream. Work in conditions that you can't handle. So. Until you do the job your point is moot. This conversation piece only gets validated by turd nuggets! So you wasted another thread on your ignorance.

I think Synchronicity was their best album.

Yeah it was..

fuck cops. they are pure maggot shit. fascist motherfuckers

I think ALL cops are hard working guys who want the American dream.

I also think that it's human nature to do certain things when you are given almost unlimited power over people and those people can't do anything to stop you.

As for the "working conditions"...99.9% of the cops I see are on traffic patrol collecting money for the city/county/state and raising rates for the auto insurance companies.

As for "danger"...sometimes shit does happen. But as that link that the OP posted showed, it's not even close to being the most dangerous job you can have.

The vast majority of times, cops show up AFTER the crime has already happened (they aren't wizards who can magically be there when a crime is being committed). They fill out reports and do paperwork.

And yeah, every once in a while something may come up where a FEW cops MIGHT be involved in an actual dangerous situation. Hopefully not one that they instigated themselves (which is often times the case).

There are more than one million police officers in the US. Out of that number, even with strict vetting and training, there will be a certain percentage of problem officers. Some will fold under pressure, some will over react, some will just be assholes. That will never change.

What else won't change is the need for them to be out there dealing with the ever growing percentage of the population that are total scum. Cops aren't social workers, they are armed for a reason. Let every cop go on strike and you'll find that reason pretty quickly.

Yeappers you say that now, till someone is trying to kill your ass or your family.. :disgust

If that happened...soccer moms driving their kids to school would be free to do 45 mph in a 35 mph zone. That much is certain. And it must NEVER happen.
The cities would lose millions in revenue and the insurance companies wouldn't be able to raise people's rates on them for getting traffic tickets.

This would be pure Armageddon!

Just kidding...but how about something in the middle? Instead of a million fucking cops with militarized weaponry and 99% of them on traffic duty collecting money...how about half a million cops? And a "no kill" policy? And all of them wearing cameras on their uniforms that can't be tampered with?

I would think that would be a lot more sensible thing.

Cops don't "protect" my home. And they don't "protect" businesses. They only show up AFTER the fact. Unless they want to put a cop on 24 hour duty outside my home or outside of every business.

They don't prevent stuff from happening. They are the guys who show up after you call them and tell them something already happened.

As a society we like to pretend that they are somehow our "protectors". But common sense shows that's just not the truth.

They provide a needed service. But like everything in govt., it's blown itself way out of proportion over the years.

Some of them are women. At least mine was, the last I checked. :1orglaugh

Oh bullshit. If there was an ounce of truth to that the 'good cops' would do something about the bad ones instead of protecting their sorry crooked asses.


Then no one should criticize the President or Congress unless they themselves have been President or a Congressman? WTF kind of logic is that?

Defend tyranny or stand up against it.

Man i love these types of videos. It's surprising how many times they just get flustered and let them go. Ive seen quite a few get arrested too though.

It's christmas soon, and in here we have just one turkey: Turkey. Pigs take the bullet instead of turkeys. They have all the reasons to be afraid.

I have gone thru both immigration and agriculture inspection stations many times. I don't see the point in not answering a few simple questions to secure the boarders. Are you a citizen, any illegals in your vehicle, to me are very simple things that I hope are being asked.

Most illegal's cross unprotected areas and are picked up well into the US then transported. So checkpoints 5-10 miles or so into the country are the best way to stop illegals.

Agriculture inspections protect California and Florida from losing billions a year due to infestation of invasive species.

Obviously those recording the stops are pre planning confrontations based on proving a point, not as citizens concerned with immigration or the agricultural economy of California. These aren't stops being made between Ohio and Indiana or other inland states. They are along our southern boarder and California's growing areas.

I am a huge "rights" person but I don't see the point being made in the videos. Imagine if immigration did a shitter job than they are already doing and Calif lost billions of much needed revenue. Those same people would probably be bitching about that?

I stand corrected. :)

You need a better pic than that one to prove your point.

That car looks like a 1970's model, the picture is in black and white and looks like it too was taken in the 1970's. :)

Please get us a color pic of 10 Mexican farm workers stuffed in a Prius. lol

Should I look for a Camry with just 3-4 people?

My point is showing wether your trunk is full of people or luggage or air when you are near the boarder at a checkpoint should be no big deal. In fact as someone concerned with who walks into our country I hope more gets done.

Its one thing to have immigration checkpoints at the border, its another to have them up to 100 miles from the border. How many of these checkpoints are you ok with? Every mile? You wouldnt mind stopping at every block having Federal Agents making you prove your citizenship? Where do you draw the line? The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is supposed to protects Americans from random and arbitrary stops and searches which is why these agents are powerless against those who know the law.

Most illegals enter the US thru rural areas away from immigration checkpoints. After a few miles they get picked up and brought north. The cheapest and easiest way to catch them is on the roads inland. Otherwise anyone can just walk in and keep going.

The further north you would go the least effective, obviously. The rest of your post I covered by stating that inland isn't acceptable. Nor would it be effective. Right now a dozen Immigration officials on the boarder between checkpoints isn't near as effective as having them inland on main roads.

What's the alternative?

Exactly...those check points are just one more way of stripping citizens of their rights and making it "seem" as if they are actually being helped when nothing could be more of a lie.

The ultimate goal is the completion of the police state with total 24 hour surveillance of everyone and their plan is working perfectly...just look at all of the people on this site actually defending having their constitutional rights systematically stripped away year after year.

The police are out of control because they are not here to serve and protect...well at least not the people but rather the government.

Wrong. I spent many years living in San Antonio and areas close to the boarder. These stops take place at KNOWN areas of illegal's being trafficked. Tourists to the areas or those that have never been there might complain. Local residents don't.

Have you ever stopped at an agriculture or immigration checkpoint? Takes less time than stopping at a tool booth.

Not to mention it is, unfortunately, one of those jobs where you can't really know how someone is going to react until they are in the moment. You can put them through training and simulations, but that isn't a real situation. Sadly, for some, we find out too late that they are not the type of person that can handle the job and the make a poor choice or react in a bad way to situation.

Not sure about the alternative but if we want to live in a free society its one of those things we have to deal with. We could virtually end most crime tomorrow if everyone was forced to put govt cameras in their homes and cars. We could end drunk driving (and illegals) by having these checkpoints at every intersection in every city. So again, where do you draw the line?

When a three hundred pound man attacks you and tries to wrestle your gun away from you... It's a deadly situation.

If you don't live near the boarder it will never affect you. If you live near the boarder it won't bother you because you will know why it's needed.

Not once anywhere near San Antonio did I see a checkpoint. Down I-35 near Laredo there were always checkpoints. And for damn good reasons.

Referring to cops as pigs is like asking what n*rs are afraid of once they get caught.
What with bitterness?

Not? I have one in front of my house 24/7. Sometime i wave at him and he waves back. Nice guy really. Sometimes he takes pictures also... It's a shame you guys don't have similar protection as we have here in my county...

To serve and protect is what is written on the side of most cop cars.

I understand this, and that kid was no saint. Was still gunned down from 40 plus feet plus in the middle of a street. Maybe his actions in the car warranted this?

Pigs just gunned down a guy in Vancouver for waiving a 2x4 around in the middle of an intersection. Sad they are afraid to get their hands dirty theses days.

Stopped reading at "pigs" ...

Bingo; is the OP 13 or something?

I worked closely with police for over 10 years, primarily as a software trainer. After spending time with hundreds of them, I noticed a general pattern. Most of them were insecure, took a lot of pleasure in being authoritarian, looked down on things that weren't important to them personally, and tended to not be very well educated and/or have limited imaginations.

One a couple of occasions I had detectives and other higher-level police employees confided in me about their jobs. They pretty much confirmed my observations, without me mentioning them (I just listened), and every one of them told me that most police departments in mid-to-large-sized cities have real problems with police officers suing the city or county for very minor things (ex. they didn't get the locker they wanted). As one detective put it, (paraphrased) "most police officers have very fragile egos and get aggressive when they feel they aren't being 'respected.'" They said that the job itself just tends to attract people who want to feel important and are insecure.

During the past 20 years I worked for three different cities, at various points. Though the positions were different in all three, in each case I was included in monthly meetings where city issues were discussed. At first, I was very surprised to hear about all the problems that cities have with their police officers, and how little accountability they really had.

Hey Huey!

Can you shoot me your email or Skype. Been way to long!

What we all know about people that have the inclination to want to become a police officer, prison guard.

In my 20's I was working with a guy that was taking courses and trying to become a cop. During a coffee break he straight up said to us he liked the idea of having the power to take away our freedom.

This summer I was at a BBQ where unfortunately some cops where in attendance. It was awesome to see them doing blow off of my friends dresser in the bedroom at 2:00 pm and kindly reminding other attendees to make sure they didn't drink and drive : )

I spend my nights sleeping next to a cop. She would certainly verify that most of what you said is true.

you mean like when they make an arrest? did you forget that part or leave it out because it negates your point completely?

Yes, I have. I live in California. Of course, I had weed in the car at the time... :thumbsup

drug smugglers are not in this listing

All pigs are same. It is not important where they are coming from. No civilized person would choose to live his life in subordination, executing orders and living under stress and with guns and violence. It is similar with military personnel (in those countries where you have a right to choose will you join army). That is human nature, and it is real question how humanity managed to make any progress at all.

I don't consider them conscious beings because their ability to think free and out of forced way of thinking, don't exist. I feel sorry for them because they are not aware how stupid their life is spent. Completely blind to humanism,empathy (except toward their colleagues) and most of population hates them, (with a good reason)To make it simple: how stupid and retarded you have to be to choose such job in 21st century? Deny own freedom, watch violence, hurting people and executing someone's else orders.

So what is the alternative? Do we just do away with the police all together?

I personally know many cops. They do it for different reasons. Some do it because they are fucked up in the head and they want control over people, but others do it because they do want to help people and better communities and still others do it because it is a stable job with good benefits that pays pretty well.

Why would someone work on a fishing boat? It destroys your body and the odds of you getting seriously hurt or dying are pretty high. Do you feel sorry for those who work on fishing boats because they are not smart enough to realize that they are risking their lives to make someone else a bunch of money?

Yep.

I do feel that with 1. Better education required, IE: An AA or Bachelors required 2. more and better training 3. Min age requirement being raised,

we can then slow down some of those issues.

Also an interesting Note. 1 Million officers 300 Million people.

Never liked cops, never will.

Forty feet sounds like a lot, huh? Think about it for just a moment. That's a little bit more than two car lengths. How quickly can you cover that? Four seconds? Six?

The man attacked a police officer and was coming back for seconds. The police officer shot him. It's just that simple.

The cop could have driven away and waited for back up, but his ego told him to kill the kid. That's how simple it is.

Police forces intentionally hire the dumbest ones and refuse to to hire anyone with intelligence....
