Man, I've been missing all of the fun threads lately...
diesel...we've all been there, and I know you didn't mean for this thread to take such a hard left. It's no fun to almost be taken out by a soccer mom, but the flip side is that next time you pass illegally because you're sick of following soccer mom, you'll be thankful the cops don't just drive to your house to tell you that what you just did was wrong...ummm, I just did that the other day, and the slow-pokes in front of me pulled over to call the police...glad they didn't come to my house 'cause I was in a bad mood...there's good and bad to each situation, and I'm just glad you were still around to rant about it...
As for the threats to cops on this board, man, that's just uncool Witte...not sure what your true beef is with cops in general, but I can assure you that our country would be a lot different without 'em. Why, we'd be able to shoot people on site for getting in our way or on our nerves...you could beat up old ladies in line at the grocery store for having 11 items instead of just 10 in the express line...you could dump hot coffee on your waitress for not pouring your coffee fast enough...you could run people off the road and watch them tumble helplessly down the ravine as you drive on and go about your day...
We all have experiences with cops that we don't like, but none of us can refute that they have to uphold the law...ALL LAWS...and if it costs you some money and aggravation, then welcome to being an American dude...everyone's got to be on an even keel here...I wouldn't want the job of cop, but I still respect what they do and how hard it really must be...
And as in all areas of society, you have cops that aren't good...not enough to scorn them all and damn them to hell, and surely not a reason to make threats to them...
Moderators, on another site I visit, some similar threats were made to a member and local authorities were notified by the site admin...threats shouldn't be taken lightly...I just hate to see this type of behavior and mentality taking down a site like ours, and I hate to see some truly great guys being threatened like this...EVEN though I know they can handle themselves!
