[DMCForum] Re: Cop stories

["dmcgman" <DmcGman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Funny though isnt Ryan, police officers dont set speed limits, they 
dont decide where ceratin speeds are to be applied or change, and 
they ceratinly dont get the revenue, or have control of any of the 
other things that are usually pointed out.  Perhaps you should take 
those matters up with your local or state politicians who make the 
laws, and then complain to the Cheif of Poilce if the offciers arent 
enforcing speed limits, when the public complains about speeding 
cars in different areas.  That in turn causes officers to have to go 
out and enforce radar which is about the last thing (speaking as an 
officer) that they want to waste time doing.  Of course those who 
get pulled over are always quick to use this or other forums to vent 
their frustration.  Nice to see some positive comments for a change 
however.  Then again I could give you a long list of officers killed 
as the result of simple traffic stops or for other senseless reasons 
simply by doing thier job which is to protect citizens.  Doubtful I 
would see a "OK Let's hear those good cop stories" thread though.  
Not as entertaining.  Usually why the countless good deeds done by 
the thousands of men and women in law enforement across the country 
are largley unsung.  However when one of a very small minority might 
make a mistake or make a bad decision (and they are human too), that 
never fails to make the front page or 6 o clock news.  The stories 
of saving lives, or doing routine good deeds (just as on here and 
other forums) either fall to the back page or dont make it to print 
at all.  Theres my cop story since you asked for some :-)
