just an observation but if you don't care what he has to say, why do you read his posts and then respond?
Just saying...

LEO's and Firemen deserve our respect even though most of you don't think they do. Sorry and maybe I am speaking in place of my friends that I ride with that are all LEO's but I get to hear these stories first hand and doing ride along's with them, I get to see the dregs of society that they deal with that would shock John or Jane Q Public. I think they deserve any break they get.

Unless I have my facts wrong, it's the Cops who:
1. write speeding tickets
2. tell me I can't pass on the median or split traffic
3. hassle me about my loud pipes
4. enforce helmet laws
5. speed and run lights "in the line of duty"
Oh! They also enforce the laws that stop me from carrying. Nothing worse than a hypocrite who carries a gun for protection and then tells me I can't do the same.
Nah, they don't deserve a discount.

[QUOTE=marinepilot81;4868877]Ok, let's play fair here; my issue is not with pulling over when they've got the siren/lights going. My issue is when they pass me on the interstate or do the quick flash of the lights so they don't have to wait at a light.
All departments have policies about when you use lights and sirens. Every officer I know including myself stretch these rules to get a little quicker to calls for help. We have been there and we know what can happen if our response is slow. Other times when we actually use our lights and siren we have fools (might be you) who stop in the fast lane or just keep driving thinking we will pass them. It sometimes actually slows us down. Living next to a military base I have alot of respect for our troops. You being a Marine and acting like this is insane. I would love a chat with your commanding officer.

Relative to the dregs WTF again they put themselve's in a total different cast. There should be not a difference. And by the way all of society has to deal with these people and thier family. This is the exact point them leo's and us the public. They like their own cast.
Now what is really funny, Where is the LEO that started this whole storm? He is no where to be found. evidently hiding behind his badge and I hope in shame based on the comments of his fellow LEO.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
are you STILL a marine? If so, in your mind .... just who do you defend?
You my friend are a sheep and will need help some day from a wolf.
I would love a chat with your commanding officer.

A few cops on here actually sounded human. To the LEO & non-LEO that think they deserve a "discount" over us mere civilians, thumbs down and middle finger up.

Exactly why I hate Cops.
1. Murder is wrong and I'm sorry about those men's lives.
2. Cops SHOULD fear the people, not the other way around.
3. Carrying, showing, displaying a firearm does not make you a criminal. Using it to assist in criminal activity does.
4. Carrying a pistol makes you a free man living under the US Constitution and protecting yourself/family/others. Trying to take that away from me = fascism.
Man, I hate Cops.

Keep applying. I'm sure there's an agency out there that would love to have you

Unfortunately some can see past that ticket they got 20 years ago or the bad cop they know about. Just plain ignorance imo.
