You mean you were doing your job?
OK. Sweet. I do my job too. In fact, If I
don't do my job, aka NOT BE THERE, I will not have that job. I will not have my nice pay. My nice benefits. My nice vacation pay. My nice paid holidays. Got it?
Now you want credit for going where the dispatcher tells you to go?
Some of these cops act like theyre volunteering 
.
Also gotta love when a gang member is killed by another gang member and the black community is attacked for not marching.
Gang members aren't being paid to protect the community
When a gang member kills someone, well goddamnit , he was a gang member. That's what they do.
Cops are not supposed to kill unarmed people in the community.
Last year 108 unarmed black men were killed by police.
All justified right? Please give me a break. Please.

That is a police hero. That is how you make your community a better place. Don't give me that bullshi* about these cops care about their community. They just want to collect a check. I know many cops. A lot of them did it for the money. Suffolk, Long Island. Big Money. I know plenty.
This guy is a hero. He takes time, energy, love, food, snacks, water guns, and gives them to his community. They are VERY VERY VERY rare people. Bless you Officer Norman.
The Officer who wrote the article was damn near spit on in his own neighborhood. Hated. They wanted him dead.
Officer Norman is loved,and treated like a family member.
Do you think Officer Norman would be hated if he patrolled where the officer who wrote this article patrolled?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Again, give me a break with this nonsense.
Also when people say Black Lives Matter
and White People say All Lives Matter.
That's fine and dandy.
But that's like my house being on fire, and I say MY HOUSE MATTERS, and you say ALL HOUSES MATTER, that's correct, but yours isn't on fire right now.
Im white for the record, like you see in my pic. If you cant see that unarmed black men are being killed at an alarming rate, then I don't know what to tell ya. You must hate blacks or have a family member as an officer, really no other way around it.
I know do as your told and you wont have an issue. People that have complied have been killed. 
Beautiful Sosa.
I remember we used to go at it like UFC fighters on this site. That's never gonna happen again after a post like this.
I used to enjoy your poker articles even after the little spats we've had. Also you had a very nice run NBA. College football too. Nice discipline.
But whats going on nowadays just isn't right. Disgusting actually.

Nice the first two posts, I am sure you were a senior poster before.

and White People say All Lives Matter.

Thanks for that.
All Lives...You are right but I can't even address it. It is so tiresome.
Ya know what's wild Sosa?
Remember when the LA 'riots' occurred for the Rodney King BEATING? Not the King shooting! Not the King murder! But the beating!
And today, that same beating would be JUSTIFIED! Because if you watch the tape King is trying to get to his feet and on top of that he was high! The majority of people today would say the billy club usage was perfectly normal! Even by nearly a half dozen cops!
But today, cops wouldn't even take out the billy club! The gun immediately comes out! And if you make a move that even hints at a threat? BOOM!
King would be obliterated today for being high and disobeying cops orders. Even unarmed.
And again, those 'riots' were because the beating was caught on tape! BLM protests are child's play in comparison, even Ferguson. And BLM is protesting almost solely death and murder. Beating and arrests simply are not on the radar because death dominates the cause.
Look at how this issue has evolved or more precisely devolved.
And this is .... progress!?!! And these protests are unjustified when cast in that light?
Scal. That's one of my biggest pet peeves. Why do these officers carry tasers? Why do they carry batons? For what? Are they that frightened by the black man that they immediately feel threatened when he so much as moves a muscle?
1991- Rodney King is beaten silly by 4 cops.
High, drunk, 4 cops? What is this a gang initiation?
2015- 108 unarmed black men killed by police, that WISH they were given the Rodney King treatment.
In 1991 im sure black people thought things would be better come 2016. But in 2016 people are wishing they got the Rodney King treatment.
Progress? Yea, if you take out the P and replace the O with an E.

You are a perfect example of someone taking what was an enlightened, well thought out, perfectly expressed piece, and using one sentence to extract from a larger statement, and using that sentence to manipulate what the author was expressing.
If your objective was to make this officer look bad, you failed miserably.
It should be painfully ovbvious that the officer who wrote the piece was not looking for credit for doing his job. At least it is obvious to anyone who read the entire letter without prejudging him. Someone who tells the truth about the current state of America is so quickly turned on by those who ignorantly disagree with him.
Nice to see Scal jump on and congratulate you on a job well done

The same here Sosa.
I just had Hugh call me a racist in another thread (and say I was 'running' from him, as though I monitor these threads daily and am failing to respond because I am stumped). A white person racist against...whites...or is it blacks?!?? Who knows? They just call you a racist and that's it.
You're racist for criticizing this cop. Except the cop is supporting police and the police state and the bigots on this site are standing behind him throwing roses because it is the VERY police state BLM is protesting. BUT YOU are the .... racist. End of story. How so? No one knows. They just say it and move on. Just wait. It they don't say it today, they'll say it soon enough because of the content of your posts.
I wasted dozens of hours responding to posters like Slovak on here and I can't express this enough: I took those hours and put them into capping (and other things that improved my life and relationships) and I can't express how greatly I benefited.
And if I didn't, what would I have gained? Posting on a message board is the WORST place to debate these topics because everyone here thinks they are in the right! What is proven after 50, 500 or 5000 posts on either side.
Look at College Gambler! The guy has 600K views and thousands of posts addressing him telling him simply to flat bet and have better bankroll management (and also that the entire endeavor was a bad idea). Did he listen to any of it?
Not only didn't he listen to it, he went out of his way to do the opposite.
Now he's broke, bar tending and giving Uber rides. And even at that, he's in a more stable financial position now with these odd jobs than he ever was blowing up his life savings. We ALL were rooting for him despite our gibes.
The Hugh Jordans, Slovaks, GimmeMoney's, Centaurs, Muggs, MoneySRH's etc. all are one and the same with College Gambler's mindset with regard to even remotely considering an argument made by some 40 million black Americans in unison, and now millions and millions of non-blacks who recognize their grievances against police.
How does the list above respond? "They have blood on THEIR hands. They are complainers. They need to take care of problems in THEIR communities." It's ALWAYS the same tired and trite argument.
Always condemning, defaming, dehumanizing to whittle down whatever self-worth or social worth anyone could have into nothingness.
Those reactions are the very thing that drives a zeitgeist of suspicion and what is incessant inferiority claims about blacks and their communities which results in overt and subconscious bias:
to shoot a man who claims he has a permit for a gun and is reaching for his wallet;
or one that is selling CD's and has his hands pinned behind his back but 5 shots will be unloaded into his chest (FIVE) even when they KNEW he had a gun;
or when a guy leaves his car and gets blown away for approaching another in a road confrontation (and then has several witnesses lie about the confrontation in the shooter's favor which is even more remarkable!);
or one that leads to a confrontation that ends with a kid a bullet through the heart from a neighborhood watchman;
or one that ultimately ends up in a woman's suicide when she was pulled over for failing to signal when she changed lanes (even though she only changed lanes because she was being tailed by a cop);
or one that gets a man choked to death because he was selling loose cigarettes (even though they found no cigarettes on him);
or one that gets a man a bullet through the heart in an empty stairwell by accident;
or one that ends up with a kid getting blasted for the crime of 'walking in the street', and the cop's word is taken as gold when he makes claims Hulk Hogan was beating on him, even though he was the one that was heavily armed and then the long-held stereotype that blacks are charging you through a hail of bullets in invoked (and that goes back to pre-slavery times), and even after all the manipulations with regard to police testimony, the unloaded of the cop's clip in this kid was deserved according to the posters here (head down and charging...all while he was already shot)...:
or one that has police profiteering off black communities, fining and jailing them endlessly to meet their municipal budgets which are woefully underfunded, which leads directly to these deadly confrontations;
It is THESE VERY POSTERS and these very sentiments expressed here that plays a direct role in the way cops are acting today against black Americans.
We can have discussions about welfare and crime with rational individuals who have proper argumentation skills and have done legitimate research for their side. But their is a profound embrace of anti-intellectualism on this site, particularly with this issue.
So why the hell are we doing it with the posters here? They think they've 'won' before they even started typing.
And to answer your original question, I agree, "What the hell are those tasers doing on their hip when they are never used!"
Regress!
Please don't get me started on who is among the worst mayor's in NYC's history.
God, I remembers this
Mr. Giuliani smeared Patrick Dorismond's reputation and released part of his juvenile police record, as if to suggest that he deserved to be murdered.
And could you imagine the untold number of deaths that have occurred in the past few days in the past 100 years?
Good lord. I shiver to think about it.
