There you go, trying to tell me that I need a police officer to protect me and my family, when I don't. If a "gun yielding maniac" shows up at my front door, I promise you that I will introduce him to a much more maniacal gun yielder... me. I am always within an arms reach, so it is a certainty. Plus the maniac will have to get through the seurity doors and past my three dogs. The doors and dogs will delay the entry of the intruder more than enough for me to set up and wait. Once he is splattered all over the tile by my front door I will call the cops to come remove what's left of him from my house, and that is the one and only time that I will ever call the police. A cop's sole purpose when making contact with someone is to find a reason to arrest them. It's the only way that they advance in their career. In fact, they don't only want to arrest you, they actually look for any reason to make a felony arrest, because that is where they get the big points on that tally sheet they keep that they claim is not a quaota system, but it is. Anyway, keep on loving the police state that we now live in, and accept their tyranny in the name of safety and community.edit on 26-4-2012 by OptimusSubprime because: (no reason given)

Leave it someone like you to come in and start rambling about a police state.It has nothing to do with the thread or the video presented.So please spare those of us who don't want to hear it in this thread.There's plenty of anti police threads on ATS.Go find one.
As for the op thanks for sharing the video!

Oh of course! I worked at Walgreens and while we moved from regular hours from a 24 hour store we used to get cops in all the time they were really nice and fun to talk to! Even in times were we had problems they would stay calm and collected in the various incidents eventually and not sure when and how this happened but we began to give cops employee discounts for their service. It just seems that we love to put more attention on the bad cops and not so much on the fact that for pretty much every bad there is also good. It's like the world thrives on more bad news than good so we kind of skimp over the good stuff and go for the bad to get people to say "Look at this! Look at how they are so abusive!" Well yes they are human and are susceptible to such behavior but not all...

A young mentally disable man pokes at a sheriff, yanks and uses his walkie talkie, hugs and kisses his head and the cop remains cool calm and collected. Now this is a feel good video that we all so do need these day's. I loved this, it reminded me not to generalize all cops as we all can do when we watch the news and get constant bad and depressing information.
