I should’ve been clearer, I used the term “hardcore” as defined by the inferences by individuals who don’t think police should be able to raise their voice at someone or police should wait to be wounded before they ask to defend themselves.
You see, there is an ever growing portion of the population that believes they are entitled to not be under the same rules and laws as everyone else.
I don’t see these officers I speak of as truly hardcore, it just seems that an ever growing portion of the population doesn’t like to be told their doing something wrong especially if we have to speak louder than them.
A lot of delicate emotional flowers we have to tip toe around because everyone believes that ALL police officers are bad and none are good at their job and therefore just sue everybody.
Yep and they tend to fall into two categories:
1. Public Officials
2. LEOs (and other Union Scum)
I do think telling a woman “find something in order to teach all right wingers and tea baggers a lesson” is far over the line. That sort of statement by a cop is meant to incite and threaten, not just a failure to coddle.
I live in a small town in Hawaii, and often wave to the local cops, who mostly seem to be good guys. There are a few who seem to have an attitude without ever being in contact with me.
You know the type I am sure: the glare if someone is seen observing them while they are occupied with ticket writing, etc. That sort of non-verbal challenge and potential threat is not going to help if the same citizen drives by and sees said cop getting the hell beat out of him. Two way street I am sure you know.
