Thug

Any cop that enforces a law you disagree with. Any cop that issues you a ticket or arrest you. Any cop who doesnt say pretty please, with sugar on top. Any cop that holds you accountable for your actions.  Any cop that doesnt wait until he takes the first hit or bullet to defend himself. Everyone except Andy Griffith. Any cop who drives fast to a non emergency call. Any cop who doesnt get to your house fast enough when you call him for a non emergency call...

Any cop on this board who:

Corrects the  erroneous legal statements of cop bashers and tries to explain a situation involving police.

A police officer that does not immediately join the drooling lynch mob that appears in EVERY cop thread.

Edited to add:

We're corrupt and routinely falsify evidence against poor innocent scum.
Can't shoot worth a damn.
Live at donut shops.

Any attempted to explain or clarify use of force laws, or police training and tactics, will be presumed to be the "blue wall."

Please note a close cousin is the jack booted moderator (JBM), who stalks his prey mercilessly.  He waits for weakness in any knowledge of the Code of Conduct.  He dreams of the day he can go on a rampage, locking every account, thread and board in sight.

In short as those have so elequently added above, any cop who does anything more than ride around in circles for his shift would be considered a JBT.

When I think of JBTs, the last people that come to mind are the two folks that post by the names [b]OLY-M4gery[/b] and [b]shotar[/b].

To the cops who have posted above:

Not all of us think like that.

You and I are all, to the best of my knowledge, citizens of the United States in good standing. Any qualifiers we add to this should be based on our conduct as such, not our career choice.

If I stick around here long enough, I will end up using the phrase "jack booted thug". I may use it in jest, or I may direct it to those who I feel have earned the disgrace it connotates.

Take it for what it is.

Do LEO's not have favorite phrases or expressions they use to describe unsavory elements of society?

I'm sure you do. Whatever they may be, I'm betting they wouldn't offend me, unless I heard them being used by the JBT's.

(Ok, sorry, had to throw that last part in)

Anyway, not everyone on the other side of the blue wall hates you guys. Personally, I think it has to do w/ the fact that some folks just can't stand interacting w/ other people on the other guy's terms.

For instance: Replace "cop" with any other profession whose members bother you for some reason. Now, most of the time, I think you'll find the reason you dislike that profession is because you had to deal w/ its members on their terms, not yours, whether they be lawyers, bankers, car dealers, judges, contractors, travel agents, whatever.

You jest, but there is an important link.

A while back, I had a thread titled something like, "Do You Have a Problem with Authority?".  I theorized  that those that hate cops are the same ones that felt that their teachers were "picking" on them, hated their Sergeants in the service, had trouble on their jobs with their bosses because the bosses "picked on them"., etc.  Got a lot of interesting responses.

But one of the Moderators wisely noticed that the same ones that hate authority in cops, were the same ones that always complained about the Board Code of Conduct and were always having their threads locked, etc.

I'm sure there are a few Jack Booted Thugs wearing a badge, but it is a very small percentage.  The vast majority are fine men, and I respect them for the very difficult job they do.

The term was first and famously used in an NRA advertisement in reference to the BATF murderers at Waco and the FBI and US Marshalls Service murderers at Ruby Ridge. It's the remark that inspired George H. W. Bush to renounce his NRA membership.

You cops that post above are a bunch of thinned skinned wussy Nancy's. You know dammed well that cops who do their job in a constitutional and respectable manner are not JBT's. Quit your fucking crying. Do your job in the above mentioned manner and encourage others to do the same and the problem goes away. Until you do that, YOU are part of the problem and not the solution.

MAKE THE CHANGE!

Well judging by the level of sarcasm illustrated by our LEO's members in this thread I would have to say that the "Us and Them" mentality is alive and well.

My definition of JBT:

Any cop etc who would say they saw a car cross the yellow line just to pull over(insert minority, or other derogatory term her) because they "knew" something was up.  Any cop, etc who believes that because they are in a position of public trust and authority assumes they are somehow not accountable to the same laws as non-leo's.  

We all know the type.  No need to go into detail.  The sickening thing is the good cops go out of their way to protect the bad ones.  Scumbags do that.

On a serious note and not to hijack this thread yes I did.

I am of the opinion that you dont have to pound sand and carry a rifle to be part of and contribute to an effective fighting force. None can do it alone and all depend on the others job.

Some here feel differently.
