Ah, I see why the confusion there.

I also said...

And...


You see, you are taking that as: Cops should be held to higher standards and no one else should be held to higher standards.

When what I actually said was... The baker should be held to a higher standard than the rest of us. The heart surgeon should be held to a higher standard than the rest of us. The cop should be held to a higher standard than the rest of us.

The baker should make better bread than I could. The heart surgeon should save more lives than I could. And the cop should be a better cop than I could be.

As for the rest of the emotional rants against what I am supposedly saying...

*I never said cops had to be like gods. But you apply that intention to my words.

And then you say that I should either regard cops AS gods, or else I hate them. One or the other. Black or white. No other choice.

Seriously, either I close my eyes to what the bad cops do, or else I hate cops. There is no middle ground where I can recognize that the majority of cops are good. I can actually SUPPORT cops... And yet still want to see more bad cops held accountable, instead of excused, and even promoted...

*There ARE people who rag on the cops every chance they get. I am not one of those people. I LIKE the cops. I used to be one.

*The MSM DOES have an agenda against cops. I am not the MSM. I don't buy into their agenda. And I resent being thrown into the same bucket of crap they inhabit just because I recognize that human beings can make mistakes. And I prefer that people learn from their mistakes. Not get them excused and swept under the carpet.

I have made the point for decades now, that cops are just human beings, like the rest of us. And they face things the rest of us don't have to. Should I go on an angry rant now, because no one remembers that? And instead they want to rant angrily against me, because they THINK I am ragging on police?


I've said the same things, in several different ways. Because no matter how I say it someone here wants to 'interpret' what I say, to mean something completely different, so they can get their panties all up in a wad, and be angry at me about it.

I can't think of any more ways, or any more simple way to put it.

When the baker makes a mistake, bread gets thrown out.

When a cop makes a mistake, people could die.

Being human is not an excuse. If you can't do the job, don't sign up for it. Everyone else who signed up for it, and is doing a good job of it is just as human as you are.

And good cops should do a lot more policing against bad cops. Bad cops shouldn't be defended by good cops.

Good cops are getting a bum deal. They are getting a bad rap.

There is definitely a bias against cops in the media. That should be dealt with. How, I don't know.

But the stories don't just come out of nowhere.

Bad cops ARE being defended by good cops. If the good cops are worried about their 'rep', they should change the unions in ways that bad cops aren't defended.

Because a BIG part of that bad rap you good cops are getting, comes from the way you close ranks around a bad cop, and defend him. Then demand that we all treat every one of you like gods. Unquestionable, or else we hate you...

...but when a firefighter goes through an intersection lit up and audible (lights and sirens), gets in a collision with a motorist who failed to yield, he gets charged with manslaughter because "he could've stopped, he didn't know for sure people were burning alive in the building he was RUSHING to so callously and maliciously."
