them speeding tickets and not giving special treatment to their Brothers


Very interesting! They want to harass us, but they don't want us to harass them. Hmmmm -- remember what Red Skelton used to say as the kid? If I do'd it, I'll get a spanking." and then he'd think about it and announce, "I do'd it!"

This illustrates the mindset some cops have - arrogant and entitled. It's quite eye-opening. Good post!

Yes, the arrogant takes your breath away, just not in a good way, more like a kick in the gut. Umph! >

My personal feeling is that while there are good cops who are decent people not out to harass us, the reality of the profession today - and of the laws cops are expected to enforce - is such that it attracts a certain type of individual; e.g., the type that likes to lord it over others or who is indifferent to the hassles he imposes because he's just "enforcing the law."

In plain English - a Dickhead. And one with a badge and a gun, too.

I think a person who is basically decent would have a tough time spending much of his day hassling his fellow men over penny ante "violations" that he knew, in his heart, were trumped-up bullshit. And especially in states like VA, which now have these odious "civil remedial" fines that can be $1,000 or more for what are at core often just minor violations of already under-posted speed limits (for example, 81 mph in a 65 zone; "reckless driving" in the People's Republic of Virginia).
