Because they are ALL bad!

[Lunk1]

Since all we ever see posted here are the bad video and news reports about LE followed by so much negetive feedback. This is the stuff that happens everyday that we never see or hear. Compared to the bad stuff that happens rarely that we hear constantly!

It's nice when stuff like this surfaces!

[gixxerboy1]

I do think that is,a great thing he did. But no i dont think that happens even close to once a week. That cop is not the norm.

Beautiful picture. Almost shed a manly year when I saw it on the news...

Your right Gixx...I bet it happens every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every day those guys halp gather toys for Xmas programs, toss a few bucks to a homeless person that hasnt eaten, I could go on all night. I have seen one cop go to his house and get bread and lunchmeat and a cpl of old coats and give them to a cpl of homeless hitchhikers, I have seen them give countless drunks rides home to avoid jail...even when they could take them to jail.

All we see is the few bad incedents that the press wants us to see and the few stories from butt hurt ppl that got in trouble. The reality is that MOST of those guys would give you the coat off their backs rather than stomp teeth in the curb!

[--->>405<<---]

lunk ive been the drunk guy that got let go when driving! since quitting drugs and alcohol my position on cops has changed somewhat. i used to hate all of them but i had a reason to (or so i thought). it was cuz they were trying to catch people like me.

now that i no longer break the law i have no reason to be concerned with them or to have bad feelings toward them. sure some of em are a-holes but some of every occupation has a-holes. theres good and bad everywhere u go....

I've had cops on payroll when i ran a,club. I could point to someone and they would be thrown to the ground and in cuffs. I did it once and the cops grabbed tbe wrong guy. I told the cop after and he said to late now.

Again...this is such a small cross section of cops. You have experienced a handfull of bad ones and seen a handfull of bad incedents reported over the years. Now figure that against the 100 of thousand of cops. It's no different than the press reporting negetive military incedents and ignoring the life saving and acts of kindness that occur everyday because they are not as good for ratings!

I've known shyty cops...and I have known shityy club managers...does that mean they are all bad

[kelkel]

It's a great story. Every profession needs more people with heart, kindness and consideration like that.

The photo was taken by Jennifer Foster, a civilian communications director for the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona. She said the moment resonated for personal reasons: She remembered as a young girl seeing her father, a 32-year veteran of the Phoenix police force, buy food for a homeless man.
“He squatted down, just like this officer,” she said.
After returning from vacation, she described the picture in an e-mail to the New York Police Department, thinking of it as a sort of a compliment card. She never expected the picture to end up online — “I’m not on Facebook,” she said — but a department official e-mailed her and asked if she would send along the photo so it could be posted.

Then the picture caption

This photo, of Officer DePrimo helping a barefoot man on Times Square, was posted by Arizona tourist Jennifer Foster to her Facebook page

i know what your saying, I dont think there are all bad. Yes a larger percentage as you. Then i think most just do there job as they are supposed to. I think even a smaller percentage are like this cop that went out of his way to do something good.

and yes all club managers are bad. Some just hide it better

we are the exact same person here. codnt have said it any better, its kind of crazy, that im actually super cool with the narc head whr im at now. lol crazy how life changes.

leve it to the ****n Italians lol.

[songdog]

Policeman see the bad part of life everyday.They always have to defend themselfs when they make an arrest.Yes we do have are share of bad ones.And it is real easy to group them all togeather.But through my life time I have been given many breaks from these guys.Been screwed over by a few.But I can say that the good out numbered the bad.So I just go through life treating them like I would like to be treated.And being polite has always been in my favor.

I think this is bullshit. It's fine to do something nice for another person, why because he is a cop it gets blown out of proportion like this? If I walked around manhattan handing out food and shoes to every homeless person I met I wouldn't make the news. Then they try to say it was coincidental that the photo was taken and all that, bullshit. Good on him for helping someone out, bad on everyone who blows it up.

I think we should appreciate any accolades that anyone gets for helping another person. The person that took the photo is also in law enforcement and was especially moved by the officer helping someone. It seems like anytime anything goes viral it causes a backlash that I don't understand.

I think te point your missing is that most of what you see in the media is the bad behavior of a handfull of tardbags wearing badges so it's nice to see the media showing the other side of the coin that I would bet my soul (if i had one) happens alot more than the few bad things that get the media attention.

You see stories all the time of ppl helping other ppl so there is no reason to get riled because it is giving posotive attention to LE! It's heartwarming even if the guy was a taxi driver!

[DeniZen]

Its pretty simple. You won't find one person with a clean record who bitches about LE. But guaranteed every little bitch whining about cops has rap sheet

i have no rap sheet.
I have had an off duty drunk driving cop almost hit me and friends on our motor cycles. The cops that show up cover it up. Then once i got IA involved everyone admited everything and was sorry.
I had an off duty cop think i was hitting on his wife in a club and pulled his gun and stuck in my chest in the middle of a dance floor
I have paid cops to do shit that was illegal.
My juice source for a time was a cop.

I can go on if you wish....

[Lunk1]

Hit on my wife and i'll screw my Glock into your ear!!!!!!!!!!!
Gixx...i know what your saying and where your coming from. I watched a cop take another cop to jail for drunk driving (it's not always a cover up)

Cops should be issued juice like ammo lol.

Again...there are hundreds of thousands of cops...your bad experiences only represent a small % of the proffession. This mindset is nearly like being a racist in the idea that just because a a person of a certain race or religion does something wrong, it makes them all turds!

I still stand my ground and say that this officers actions represent a bigger % of LE than the actrions of the small % you have had negetive encounters with!

lunk you are correct. Its a small portion. But that small portion has the possibility to ruin someone's life forever like no other person can.
Most cops are just cops. They do there job and leave and thats fine.
I think an even smaller portion are like the cop in the original story. That actually go beyond being a cop.

Your right when you magnify the small portion because they have abilities that most ppl don't have to effect another human beings life.
Keep in mind that this same magnification works against them as well. They are by the nature of their job forced to live in a glass fishbowl where EVERYONE judges their actions. If you got in a brawl at the club and curb checked some guys jaw...maybe local news MAYBE! Cop does the same thing even to a lesser degree and with provocation and justification, national news and the world judges. Yes I know they could have chosen another line of work....

Your also right that (throwing out made up numbers) 10% are fuks, 70% go to work and go home and 20% go above and beyond! I'll argue the bigger number all day long about the bigger number being better and the smaller number being turds. I have seen the heroism and the selfless service WAY more than I have seen the turd behavior.

Granted this may be due to being in the Midwest where values tend to be different then in big metro's and on the Coasts! I see LE volunteering to coach teams after working all night, I know of one who literaly lifted a burning car off of a kid. I have seen it soooo many more times than I have seen the excessive abuse and bad behavior. It just tends to be less news worthy and noted less often. Again this could be geographicly different!

No I don't think I put my point across, it is good of anyone to help anyone. I'm not getting riled for the simple fact that an officer is getting positive attention. I'm no cop hater, although most I've met are dicks, I have a lot of friends on the force. My point, and you can agree or disagree, is that just because it is a cop showing a sign of humanity it shouldn't have went viral. Not sure if it was where you Guys are, but it was one of the top stories on the news in New York. If it were a taxi driver it would not have made news.

And there is no argument that most of their media is negative, that's everyone. People rarely get noticed for doing the right thing, not nearly as much as they do for doing wrong.

I can understand that being in the NY area it's probably ALL over the place. I'm sure given the rep that NYPD has had over the years that they are putting this all over the place!

Too bad really since I doubt that the officer had the intent of being a media whore when he did this!
