Getaway Harley? LMAO.....
Just trying to lighten things up a bit.

its easier to maneuver in traffic than a car and its an uncommon getaway vehicle,
only in the movies my friend. Try to get out of a city on a bike and there is a very high chance you die or get caught. Then there is low payload, no protection, etc.

point is... only that cop knows what was running through his brain.. maybe his intentions were good... and I can tell you that ANY cop who has a rep for letting people go is looked at a certain way... and this is a job he has to do everyday... some cops that actually fire their weapon in the line of duty are never the same... ruins them completely... some commit suicide... In the end... he is completely alone with his decision... I'm my liner of work... ive had 3 attempted suicides... all unsuccessful.. and ive had close friends that had inmates die on them... they were locked out of the job until the investigation was completed... a few COs hate inmates... and they make the decisions they make... I know in my heart that I don't wanna be responsible for anyones death... no matter what the inmate has done... its a job ... however... we find ourselves in these situations that a split second can change the whole course of your life,

This was a tragedy that got out of control... Its something that cop has to live with everyday for the rest of his life... And quite possibly answer for in another life... This job and this incident may be eating him up from the inside and polluting his soul.. only he knows... and god.
..."u have already shown u have zero respect for LE"
That's a blatant lie and if you can show where I've ever denigrated LE I'll stop posting in this forum. My friends and family would crack up laughing if they heard this. So show me or shut up. Calling a prison guard a Corrections Officer simply suits the BS name of the system, the Department of Corrections. What the hell else would they call them? In no way did I imply that a guard is somehow less of a human being than a so called CO. You took offense. I wonder why? Could it be because you know first hand what a failed system the 'corrections' department really is? Every, and I mean (every) guard, CO, jailer, bailiff, police officer, deputy sheriff, parole or probation officer, highway patrolman, defense or prosecuting attorney or judge I've known over the years agrees that it's a failed system and so far away from being corrective that its ridiculous.
Some years back a partner of mine experienced first hand how well the 'corrections' department is doing its job. After a seven year sentence and thirty days on parole a convicted murderer committed an armed robbery and found himself bailing out of his car on a dead end street with my friend in pursuit. They came together in the dark between two houses. The parolee fired two .22s into my friend below his vest who emptied his Python hitting the shooter five times, one, just above his left ear. My buddy pulled thru just fine but did retire within a year. You seem to try scratching an itch that doesn't exist. The point is 'here' and you're talking over 'there'. You're no police officer so stop thinking that you are. You warehouse prisoners, tell them what to wear, when to get up, when to eat, and are confined with them unarmed. Brave men and women do this job but they're not correcting anyone and they're not cops.

LOL well since we're telling our stories:
I was involved in a little expressway race with a corvette several years back. I was in front and when the road opened up, I hit it. Of course, it was no contest but he was putting up a good fight. There was a cement wall median about 4 feet high on my left. I was doing about a buck thirty when the height of the median decreased to about 3 feet and at that point, flattened down on the bike, I could see over it. A cop parked on the roadside on the southbound side of the expressway with lights flashing. He lurched forward to chase us I guess but with that wall separating the lanes, how was he going to get over to our side?? I cut the throttle and the vette came by on my right. I guess he saw the cop too even as low as he was. The cop took off south with his lights going apparently to the next exit to swing around and follow us. By the time he would have gotten back on the expressway, we were long gone. We slowed down to 100 and got off two exits north. Then I went my way through town and he went his. I never had such a nervous ride home in my life.
That was the only time I didn't stop for a cop pursuing me. The way I see it, the cop wasn't behind me so how do I know he wanted me to pull over?

This boils down to one fact, Calling a "Corrections Officer" a prison guard is an insult, like calling a cop a meter maid. You (anyone I'm not pointing at CBX here) can understand that or not but decide if you want a conversation or if you just want to insult people.
I didn't hear anyone calling themselves police officers but know this...more than 70% of crime is solved with the direct help of "Correction Parole Officers" working with police detectives. They know inside information that can "fill in" the blanks of some of these career offender's odd traits that would otherwise not be made any sense of thus thus solving the crime. And you would be blown away about the intel COs compile about the major gang activity in AND out of the system, this is truly scary stuff.
Warehouse prisoners? In Florida we have 145 "Corrections Facilities" and ONE prison. Not a whole lot of "just warehousing" going on here. Maybe 50 years ago there was mostly "Bubbas with a shotgun" out here (Hello Cool Hand Luke?) but now they are more educated professionals that have cut way down on the recidivism rate. (To be clear I say "we" as a Floridian not a CO).
So 70% of crime in Florida is solved with the direct help of parole officers eh? That says a lot about Florida cops if that's true but extremely doubtful. Where'd you get that figure, from a parole officer? No warehousing you say? What's corrective about Florida's Corrections facilities? The recidivism rate is sky high everywhere. This country houses more prisoners than anywhere in the world. You have 146 prisons in Florida no matter what the sign says out front.

That is real disturbing to hear . For someone sworn to uphold the law to be allowed to that

whats ure name?
That's crossing a line bro! A few of us are known by our names on here but it is not cool to ask "what's ure name? Little wormy guy" I know you aren't one but there are a lot of crazy people out there, so it's best to keep this a semi-anonymous debate unless someone offers their real name.
All I'm saying is saying things like that make people step away. I don't always agree with you but I do appreciate your views and perspectives and I enjoy reading your posts. I'm not a moderator so I'll leave it at that. Just try to aim your frustrations with people at the issue, not the person.
