I got called out on my other topic, so I figured I'd play Devil's Advocate and give the other side of the coin a voice. I personally don't have any, but I'm sure some exist..... Somewhere.....

To the OP, you figured you'd play "  Devil's Advocate "  on the good that cops play in our society ?? 

You should be banned you F##cker.. That is just wrong.   You are part of the percentage of our society that truly believe there is something wrong with "authority" in our society.   It ain't the authority's fault when the great majority of crimes are committed by blacks.   OMG ??!!  

  Yeah, go understand the position of the cops by putting yourself in their position.  That would be a healthy perspective.

I believe the vast majority of the police force are doing a good job under a very tough environment. At the same time, you should take your own advice since your views are always one-sided and you never seem to put yourself into other's position. Yeah, it would be a healthy perspective.

As for OP, I've read/heard many feel-good stories about police helping citizens. Obviously, they probably don't attract media attention because they don't sell!!

You guys really don't want a society without law enforcement.

You wouldn't be able to go outside with all the thugs running around doing whatever they want.

It's cops that put these thugs in prison.

There are thousands of positive cop stories and the media don't put it in the news.

So, I posted this thread a week ago asking for your personal positive encounter with the police. As of right now, 242 views, 9 posts ranging everywhere from "off topic", to "I'm sure there's one somewhere", to someone calling for me to be banned....

Not even one single story!! ONE!! No one even tried to make one up!! Why? Because they don't exist!!  Like I said before, all cops are dikks and it takes a certain a-hole personality to even want to take that on as your job. Have you ever even dealt with one off duty and tried to talk to them on a personal level? I have, many cops many times. They're still in "cop mode", and they don't shut the attitude off. That's why my other thread is chock full of personal harassment stories....

Thank you for proving my point everybody, case closed....

As most reasonable people do, I have mixed feelings about cops.  I've been arrested 9 times since I was 15 (not proud of it by any means), but have no convictions.  It got to the point where I knew the DA and judge on a first name basis.  It's absolutely amazing that I don't have a record.  Some cops are genuine @ssholes and others are terrific people.  All of my arrests were drinking related so I own up to my mistakes and no longer drink.

First case:  I was sh!tfaced and I knew I was not ok to drive so I stopped at a diner to grab some food and a coffee.  I passed out at the table and was awoken by a Kearny city police.  Instead of locking me up for public intox, he called my sister and she picked me up and drove my drunk @ss home without an arrest.

Second case:  15 years ago when I was a junior in high school, my buddies and I skipped school to drink beers on the beach.  We were hanging for about 3-4 hours when a town police approached us.  Of course he found our booze and cuffed us all.  None of my friends parents were home but my mom was so he contacted her, and she ended up driving 5 drunk 16 year old kids home from the beach with no arrests.

Third case:  9 years ago at St. Marks Place in NYC, my buddy and I got busted for open containers.  As he was writing us our citations he allowed us to finish our brews.  Still cost both of $55 but I thought that was decent of him.  

There you go Money.  All of my fault but the cops hooked it up.  If we were black, I'm sure things would have went down differently, but being a Guinea in NJ these days is not a bad thing.

First off, congrats on having enough courage to admit you had a drinking problem and getting sober. We've all got friends and family who are too stubborn & stupid to even admit they have a problem...

Secondly, ehhhh, not so much "feel good" stories as much as it looks like the cops not wanting to mess with the paperwork and/or just utilizing common sense, which cops rarely do. One of them you were a juvenile,  so they couldn't do much to you anyways except release you to your parents. I don't know, maybe the one where the cop let you finish your beer? Maybe??? You did still have to pay the fine, though....

Thanks man.

Hey man, I can go over my bad experiences as well.  I have plenty of them.  I was brought in for a 3rd degree Agg Assult that went to Grand Jury in Paterson back in 2007 that I didn't even commit.  As a matter of fact, I created my Covers account during that time, hahaha.  Talk about life altering if I even got indicted. 

You have to figure that most people that have an education beyond high school are smarter than 50% of cops.  I believe that most of them are good people that are just doing their jobs.  My opinion of the hierarchy of great cops: Town, City, County and Statie.  The higher they are in their ranks, the bigger @ssholes they are.  

The best advice I can give anyone is this:

If you're arrested, even if you're innocent which was in my case in the aforementioned incident, do not speak with them.  I can't stress this enough.  They don't care about you or your livelihood at this point; they made their decision.  Shut the phuck up and get a lawyer.

People that are close to me that know my story are stunned that I turned out to be a CPA, hahaha.

Yeah, I've got Google too. Try searching both "Officer Helps" and "Officer Shoots" - see which one gives you more "related searches".....

That would be a result of which 'search' gets more news coverages, not of which thing happens more often.

As for 'feel good' stories, I have them from personal experience.
I also have stories that involve an officer who needed a foot up his azz. 

The profession of a police officer, and the power it gives a person via a badge and gun, no doubt will attract the type of person that is not capable of handling that power. It also attracts good guys that truly want to protect and serve.

A person not well equipped for that type of job would be my pal Scalabrine.
If Scal were a cop and pulled over a white motorist for a minor infraction, do you think that white person would be harassed, or verbally and possibly physically abused?
On the other side, if officer Scal pulled over a black motorist ... oh wait, that would never happen.

I've been on this earth longer than most of you, and have had more experiences with the police, as well.
I do not let my bad experiences with a few, nor the media's narrative, dictate how I view a large group of law enforcement people.

As Michael Jackson, that noted pedophile says ... 
"One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl"

I really am surprised.

A site that's dedicated to degenerate gambling and people aren't sharing their cops stories.

It's not you phuckers are still on the run.

That.....
Right there.....
Sums up my whole point.

Much like people that get into MMA, or NASCAR, or skydiving, anything with that hint of danger - you've got to have that in your DNA. Same thing with the personality of the police officer. In my entire life on this planet, whether they were friends, acquaintances, strangers, relatives, on duty or off duty, I've never EVER met an officer of the law that wasn't a total and complete f@cking a$$hole.

I'm including examples like a buddy of mine's sister who was married to one, was beaten for years, they had a kid, once the beatings started on the child, she finally wised up and divorced that loser....

Another acquaintance, similar situation with a cop "boyfriend". Luckily she never got married or pregnant by this piece of garbage.

To wrap it up, yes some cops will do good deeds now and then. But there's always going to be that power hungry real life chicken sh!t lurking down in there somewhere like the incredible hulk.....

May very well be the classiest post I have read on Covers.  Despite altercations with the police, you were decent enough to share the positive experiences you did.  Tip of the hat to you.

I feel badly for your parents - you are obviously disappointing and a complete failure.  Your views are dismal and disturbing.  Perhaps mental health treatment may be of some value.

No ....I think he just grew up in a crappy neighborhood and never had the opportunity to leave it.

Yeah........

Nice try......

Just one question, buddy.....

Would there be protests, problems, everything that's going on right now if this wasn't an issue? Because as it is a common practice in America, people gather, protest, and get arrested fighting for their civil rights - for no reason whatsoever.......

BTW - I grew up a white suburban, "privileged", college educated person who now has a good job, married, white picket fence, etc., etc..........

Yet

Me, that demographic, I've still had all negative and zero positive dealings with the police. Like I've said ad nauseam:

Maybe somebody, somewhere has had a positive interaction with the police - to this day, I have not had one - doesn't mean there's "decent" cops out there (I'm sure those "Sasquatch Hunters" people have not seen The Abominable Snowman either, but they still believe), I'm just saying I haven't encountered it.....
