Off-topic question, but do you browse the Caf during work hours? Pretty sure most of us do, except you're not in an office or cubicle. Imagining you on the side of the road browsing the caf, brings a smile to my face.
Trump has just rescinded Obama admin restricts on coppers getting Army surplus - I reckon some of our police departments and their tactical teams are better armed than half the armies of the world

DEPUTY MURDERED AND TWO CHP OFFICERS SHOT
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Robert French was killed this afternoon and two California Highway Patrol officers were injured at a Ramada Inn in Sacramento County after a gunman opened fire on the law enforcement officials. All three officers were part of a task force investigating a stolen vehicle case and had come across the missing car in the parking lot of a Ramada Inn.
Two women in the stolen vehicle led the officers on a chase that ended in suburban Elk Grove, where they were arrested. When the officers went back to the Ramada Inn and knocked on the door to one of the rooms, a male suspect opened fire on them with a high-powered rifle, injuring the two CHP officers.
The gunman then ran out onto the balcony, where he traded fire with sheriff's deputies and shot Deputy French. Sometime thereafter the gunman led police on a brief chase before he was shot by law enforcement officials in another exchange of gunfire and taken into custody.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Robert French’s family, friends, and colleagues. Additionally, we hope and pray for a full and speedy recovery of the two wounded CHP Officers.
Not some. I think for the most part we ignore the day to day dangers they face and the risks they take to keep people safe.Was reminded of this thread a while back while watching Spanish cops running towards the gunfire in Cambrills.
Some cops don't get the praise they deserve.
Read a story yesterday about the police in Rio on the brink of giving up fighting crime because so many of them die in duty. Can't compare what the cops in the US go through to the Western Europe police on a day-to-day basis but you have to wonder how much progress has been made on training new cops and re-educating the old ones considering how many huge mistakes they seem to make with a deadly weapon.Not some.

But, thats just human nature isn't it? The bad/negative stuff makes for better news...

@Skizzo are you satisfied with the level of compensation offered? Imo police needs better salaries; where I' coming from (Central Europe) the pay isn't good at all, therefore they can't be that picky in recruitment.
Better pay = better police = upward spirale. Would you agree?
It probably is if we're talking about corrupt cops.. This isn't corruption, it's a moral corruption.
Cops who wrongly shoot people to death by intent and planting evidence on the suspect aren't doing it for money
Just to give you an idea 10 best and 10 worst states - take into account other benefits and money isn't THAT bad.@Skizzo are you satisfied with the level of compensation offered? Imo police needs better salaries; where I' coming from (Central Europe) the pay isn't good at all, therefore they can't be that picky in recruitment.

But better pay = bigger pool of people applying. So the police only hires the best people, which would lead to a better assessment of situations etc. Corrpution aside, how does it not work?
I have problems with the way that you see all this. I'm not going to bother getting into it though as I can't be arsed trying to explain myself to people who can't and won't get it.
All I will say is if you're hoping for changes to criminal behaviour before you change the way you approach policing, things are not gonna get better any time soon. And if you are gonna take every police criticism personally (which you shouldn't if you can make the distinction between the bad police and yourself) then I wonder if you take the incidents including bad police personally too?

Then none?Not some. I think for the most part we ignore the day to day dangers they face and the risks they take to keep people safe.

Weren't taking offence it's just a difference of opinion. I'm allowed to post that we have a difference of opinion right? We don't need to agree about everything or be quiet.I said there's needs to be an overhaul in the way police operate. I also said it's hard to do that when gun laws, among other things, are how they are. If you take offense to everything I say, I have no issue with you keeping quiet and not trying to explain your viewpoint anymore. I don't want to waste my time trying to talk with someone who can't grasp more than their own opinion of things. You criticize my post no matter what it is. We already established that last week was it?
You've given him more than enough of your time mate. His general opinion and view on police officers is abhorrent. You and the vast majority of your colleagues know you're doing the best you can, that all that matters.I said there's needs to be an overhaul in the way police operate.

Which of my views on police officers is abhorrent? The one were I don't assume every police officer is a good person just like I don't assume every other person on this earth is (until proven one way or another)? Or the one where I have empathy with the victims of police corruption and malpractice?You've given him more than enough of your time mate.

I was actually talking about you and not @Skizzo in the post he quoted and took offence to, and lo and behold here you are. Talking with you on this subject is like chewing glass... and on that note.
I made a few comments on your post. It's not an attack or slight on your character even if that's how you see it.
I've read the post again and I can see the wording is suspect but I wrote that because I didn't want to get into a to and fro (with posters that dont like that I question or disagree with you) like last time, but it happened anyway. I guess you're going to believe what you want to.How were you talking to him and not me when he hadn't posted, and you directly addressed things I'd mentioned in the post directly before yours?

The post was to @Skizzo the throw away comment was at the people arguing with me last time. I know arguing with them is pointless, and annoying. Never had a major problem going back and forth with both PO's. Or I wouldn't even bother asking them questions, or commenting on their posts.Earlier he said this. Seems he was talking to you and commenting on your posts.
