| LEO's have job theres a lot of LEO bashing going on here at AR15. so what are your suggestions how should we try and keep our homes and cities safe without LEO. I can protect my self but most of my nieghbers cant. Plus how come i never here you guys praising when the LEO's do something good and right which outnumber the media mishaps? |

Can't be done. All most of us want is for the LEOs we have to understand why we get so angry about some of the things that happen. No we do not walk in your shoes, but then again, we did not take the job that you do. LEOs are a very important part of society, and we do need them. We just ask that they take a look at our point of view. Most of the people here that are mad about some of this stuff to not hate all LEOs. Aviator [img]www.dredgeearthfirst.com/aviator.gif[/img] |

Seems like 99% of the LEOs are making the other 1% look bad. What were we doing 200 years ago? Each person took care of themselves. When that didn't work, the community came out to help. We don't need any more of this kind of crap.

How about when a leo sees something his dept. is doing that affects civilians rights(traffic or other road blocks etc...) why dont leo's step back and first ask..if I was subjected to this how would I feel ? If it bothers you then why not get your dept to change its policies ? If enough of you say no things would change. what are they gonna do fire you all ? Stand up for whats right !!! whats more important, the Constitution/bill of rights or your job ? |

Man...I've never seen so much anti-LEO hype. Like any other profession there are good and bad. The newspapers and national media outlets do not make money by sharing good news only the bad. That applies when dealing with LEO stories. They hype the bad stuff cause it sells. Sure, bad things happen sometimes with LEO but the same happens with Drs, lawyers, politicians, truck drivers, carpenters, etc. Point is a few problems should not translate into a hatred for LEO. They have probably the toughest job in society dealing with all the losers out there. My hat is off to anyone who manages to protect and serve to the best of their abilities. I do not enjoy the thought of a lawless society where I need to be constantly vigilant for "bad guys" trying to harm me or my family. Thank God for LEO. Not looking for flame mail but expect it will come. Had to express my opinion. |
