I just got up and locked my front door ..... :winkwink:

Well guys, at least I don't have to worry about my safety here in Las Vegas.

I live in a real nice area in the NorthWest and every day when I drive the streets here (big six lane streets with hardly any traffic at all) I see a practical ARMY of motorcycle cops busy as bees pulling over soccer moms in mini-vans all day long.

Thank God we have these incredible law enforcement officers protecting us!

Oh wait a minute, they are non-existent in the areas of the city with gangs and real crime. I guess they are just trying to meet the quotas for bringing in money to the city to keep their sorry fat asses employed and also to satisfy the car insurance lobbyists so that all those soccer moms can now not only cope with this bad economy, but also get their insurance rates doubled.

Our entire system needs a giant enema in my opinion.

Honestly, even if he had his hands on his sides... you would have made an issue out of it. I think you hate cops judging by your posts ?

When your shit gets stolen, make sure to call the fire dept. instead :)

Not at all. These are the facts:

I don't hate cops.
I hate asshole cops.
I did nothing wrong in any capacity.
I was simply trying to buy some things from a store.
The last time my "shit" was stolen, it was from my own home, and the cops were the ones that did the stealing.

So, yeah, I guess I agree with you in a way. Next time my shit gets stolen, I'll call anyone but the cops.

I agree with this statement , he looks like a decent regular type guy.....:)

Welcome to 1984.

Here's my opinion on your tattoos.

I like them.

Here's my theory on why he didn't like them:

People look at tattoos in two ways, either "That's cool" or "That person must be a criminal."

Even some of the former group will look at tattoos past the wrist or above the collar bone and think the latter.

If you OBVIOUSLY had shitty jailhouse tattoos, even being tattooed myself i would have thought the same thing. But you're a clean cut white guy with a lot of ink, doesn't mean you're up to no good.

Maybe it was the fact that most of the tattoos are dark as opposed to bright and colorful?

I don't know. Retarded story either way. That cop was obviously having a bad day and taking it out on a "tattooed freak" LOL. Glad you didn't get zapped though.

I remember I thought tattooed guys being super scary when I grew up..... things have changed though, and I thought cops thought so too. Guess I am wrong.

HOLY SHIT!

That hits the nail right on the head.

Everything from us fighting wars all over the world to have "peace"

The govt. has now intruded into every aspect of our lives. We can't do much of anything that isn't "approved" by the authorities these days. They search us, they take our belongings and our property, they dictate what we can and can't see and read...all in the name of being "Free"

And we're kept ignorant as our news organizations report completely different versions of events than the rest of the world and we are actually encouraged to NOT learn different languages (other civilized countries citizens almost always are multilingual...while we actually make laws to force "English Only")

Orwell hit it right on the head. He was just off a couple of decades.

You know what.... that pic is kind of scary. I have big ears and it's pretty clear my nose has been broken a few times... :1orglaugh

you sound like a old woman. :2 cents: :helpme :1orglaugh peepin out the window and shit

You look like half the other dudes walking into the hardware store... the cop was just a prick.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to give the cop the benefit of the doubt on this one. He was probably driving by heading out on his shift and saw someone peering through the glass of a closed store, and if I was a cop, I might have checked it out too.

But the whole "you have to leave" shit was uncalled for.

man that's what i was saying he cant make you leave its private property. file with his boss. :2 cents: there was no complaint. he's lucky you didn't have a witness with u.

Yeah, that's just not going to happen though. I have no witnesses, and no name. All they are going to see is some "tattooed freak" walking in, picking out a photo on a wall and going, "He did it! It was Him!"..... lol

No man. It's not gonna go down like that. I'm gonna continue to suck it up as a fact of life here in good 'ol America. Anything less would be unpatriotic and "cop-hating". You know, cuz I hate them so much.

hmmmmmmmmmm...... smoked me some of this fresh batch of Bubba Kussssshhhh :rasta

yeeahhh.....


Gave it some more thought.....



Fuck that pig.
It's real fucking hard for me to continue to "like" the police. And to anyone that thinks what he did was right, then fuck you too.




assholes

Amp, you going to the Expo July 8-10th?

When you live in a society where so many people own (and carry) a loaded handgun on their body because the constitution says they can, you're gonna have a police force that take their jobs REAL seriously.

What is that, a webmaster thing? I never go to those things. I went to Vegas InterNext in '03 & '04 but that was it. I don't know what I was expecting, but it was something I never cared to repeat.

Ha! I just thought... especially now too... I've never gambled, and I don't drink anymore... Vegas has nothing left to offer me... :1orglaugh

(took me a minute to gather that thought... kush is good) :)

that's not at all what the right to bear arms means.

fricken ganja is the right stuff every time. Feel like I got a brand new spine right now. (I have some kind of chronic hardcore arthritis in my hands & spine and some of the vertebra in my neck are fused).

Cops can be retarded. One time when I was working corporate there was a blizzard and the only way I could get in was by catching a ride with a neighbor -- he left at 3 AM so I opted to go in at 3 AM. It turns out that my access card that was supposed to grant me 24 hour access had restricted hours. My ride left and I was freezing. I tried one of the warehouse doors and one of the idiots left it unlocked and un-alarmed.

I walked through to the office which was never locked (the warehouse to office interior door) but on a separate zone and the alarm goes of. I go outside and wait for the police. I explain what happened, showed them my access card and how it was recognized but restricted. Showed them my business card, the GM's business card and explained how I had to come in early because of the blizzard if I wanted in at all and that I was supposed to have unrestricted access.

Out came the guns -- one stayed on me while the other cop scoured the place with his drawn.

It all ended peacefully with some phone calls from the alarm company to the GM.

Yikes! Yeah, why the hell are they so damn jumpy?

There was some interesting news here last night... I guess, like everywhere else, the City of Oakland is broke and saying they're about to cut 200 police officers. That's only going to make the remaining ones even more jumpy. (I don't live in Oakland, but.... it's close.)

He was a hater

It is the show of force that drove me nuts. They already talk in a stern voice and have control of the situation. In my case there were two cops that came in separate patrol cars. I am about one of the most innocent looking mother fuckers out there and it was obvious I wasn't going to make any sudden moves. I was WAITING for the cops and it should have been pretty damn obvious it was a snafu.

The way they didn't want to believe me and felt I was a threat standing alone at 3 AM with a smile on my face and shaking my head in shame pissed me off.

Just like your attempt at humor. I did the same thing. Criminals don't do that!

That's ridiculous, and I have no doubt that it was because of the way you look.

What really gets me is having to deal with cops where I live. I live in a condo with rent-a-cop security guards. You go down to the pool, spa, or ice machine and these guys come up to you and act like you're a suspect in some crime. If you go out to the store late at night they'll fucking question you about it the next day like you owe them some explanation for wanting a midnight snack. They REALLY have it out for my boyfriend (no doubt because of his looks) and have even taken to questioning me about where he is when he's not with me.

It's starting to get to the point where I'm going to have to go complain to the property management staff about these douche nozzles for the second time just to be left alone in what is essentially an extension of my own home. I mean, who wants to be harassed in their own pool or walking to their car?

It would be a bad thing if a cop tazed the wrong person.
I think there is a rule to taze someone who is aggressive, but not passive.

You need to file the complaint with the association... if they don't appear that they will do anything about it, threaten to foreclose your condo. That normally snaps'em straight.

Then tell the security guards to piss off and leave you and your visitors alone before you file civil complaints against the security guard and association. It's so simple, you just fill out some form and file them at the court house, super easy, just make sure you keep records that you tried a different way first.

Aye, a Webmaster gathering in San Fran.... I will be chillin at the Westin down the block, pool side with a bar slut bringing me wet naps. Would love meet ya, and enjoy a token...of life appreciation.

Most of those beatniks with tats always smoke that reefer and carry it on them

It's kind of a weird situation actually. It seems a lot more overt when typed out than it is in reality. After my first complaint, the main officer I have a problem with dropped the condescending sounding "young lady" he used to address me with and started trying to disguise his nosiness as "friendliness." I have no doubt in my mind that he will play off any complaint as me being over sensitive and say that he's just trying to be friendly with the residents.

Luckily, I have connects both on the condo board and the local PD. If he doesn't cool his jets with my next complaint, he's going to get shit from both angles.

Yes most break ins happen 30 seconds before the store opens. Cops are just plain stupid!

I've had some bad experiences with cops down here. And I am a small chick with hardly any tattoos, not even a speeding ticket on my record. Some of them are just straight up bad people and shouldn't be cops.

Lets all ban together and kill as many cops we can before they take us out!

:1orglaugh is the pipe red hot :helpme

Not sure why you would say that. I've never suggested any such thing. I'd be careful if I were you. Words have meaning. You don't know who's reading this. You want to be labeled a potential threat? A potential cop killer? Dumb move if you ask me.

Ahhh, in SF huh? I could come out and check that out and meet up with ya. Where do I find the info on this? Xbiz?

I think you definitely look like an ex con.
