Traffic Court WTD? Updated post #35

Wow, a 5 page thread because many of us hate cops.... And a few defend them.
To each of you that think Police Officers are ego maniac thug criminals, I wish you could experience just one day without the existence of police. Most of you would spend that day locked in your house scared shitless. Most of you that think negatively of police have had bad experiences (mostly traffic related) with police. Enforcing traffic laws is a very small fraction of most police agency's duties. How many of you guys have pumped on the chest of a dying man who should've gasped his last breath were it not for your fast response and level headed ability to make a decision under a stressful condition to keep him alive?
How many have run toward gun fire or a large fight while the crowd runs away? How many of you have scraped a dead child off the street after being hit by a bus, then delivered that bad news to his parents in the humblest way you could and tried to comfort them during this nightmare. Any of you take guns/drugs off the streets of a neighborhood so that the people who raise families there stand a chance? Any of you ever been out with your family and intervened in a domestic violence situation to keep a girl from getting her head bashed in on a subway because there is no "off duty" when it comes to protecting the public for sworn Police Officers?
I don't ask these questions looking for answers and I understand police officers signed up for this when they took the job. But there is a reason their average lifespan only lasts 5 years after retirement.
And as far as showing other police professional courtesy on the road and not writing them traffic summonses... That's up to the individual. But Its understood that if a cop is on the side of the road getting the **** kicked out of him, I'm stopping to get in the fight no matter the odds... How many civilians would? Some.. Not many.
There are some bad eggs.. You can keep googling stories of bad cops and posting links... They're out there. Very minuscule percentage of police. Most of US are proud and genuine, and would and have risked our asses for perfect strangers.
Enough of a rant for now.
P.S. I've been a police officer for 15 years. Never written a single speeding ticket because I'm no hypocrite. Have pulled over muscle cars to chat with their owners though.
