Discount for Police
#131
As for some of the other anti-police posters... I am very proud of my prior military service and of my continuing police service. I do it because I want to do it. I do it knowing that some folks will dislike me "just because", without ever taking the time to know me. Some may even want to hurt me because of the badge I wear. I do it to provide food, shelter and stability for my family. If folks like you don't want to get to know me, or choose to look down on me, that is your problem, not mine.
FWIW, I tend to hang out with my non-police friends more than my co-workers, maybe because it's helps keep me "grounded". I'm glad THEY gave me a chance.

As a human being, not to mention a Marine, I hope you broaden your scope, someday. I fear, you're really missing out on a lot by reinforcing the wall of bad attitude you have built around yourself as a defense mechanism.
You sound like you have got some very serious control issues. ... which scares the crap out of the rest of us knowing your inherant need to carry a gun in order to feel "free".
This thread has gone wayyy off track ... so I see. My appologies to our original poster. I'm done here.

"NOT sure how this got HERE???" Bwahaha
We can put ANYTHING in the ditch, here at HDF.
Rather than LEOs, Farfyterz, "Shinerz", Ol' Gize with 1 nut, Illegitimate Children of ?able Ancestry, etc, getting a 'discount', WTH happened to giving REAL bikers discounts??
HAs
Outlaws

As ALWAYS, this BIKER vs LEO stuff, has GONE TOO FAR:

I wondered if you would weigh-in on this thread. I enjoy your posts.

This is not so in ref to Ocala being the only dealer in Fl to give the discount. I bought a fire firefighter Ultra at Gator Harley Davidson in Leesburg a couple of years ago new with a $2,000 discount. When I picked it up they had at least 10 new firefighter roadkings in the warehouse ready to be picked up.

And concerning the OP, he didn't state that he deserved a discount, he asked if anyone was giving one. Big difference. If the owner of a particular establishment offers a discount to him, he would be an idiot and, quite possibly, insulting to turn it down if his department allows it. Mine does not, so there it takes the guess work out of it and gives us an out for when folks offer.

Man at least try to find a scholarly source before you chime in. I do not think wimp qualifies. I also said law enforcement is needed to have liberties. The problem is when laws start to restrict liberty. On a side note I think I have enough education, but that is a different conversation. we can compare if you wish. Please read all of the posts before you start typing. I never commented if he deserved or did not deserve a discount. What I did say, he could find a discount from someone who wished to support the police with discounts, in a sarcastic way. I am really done with this debate so I will not respond to you anymore.
100% wrong. And the comments about cops stopping freedom are also off base. Without laws and the enforcement thereof, there could be no freedom. Period. Take a look at this and get an education: http://www.wimp.com/thegovernment/

Funny how some look at the name, marinepilot81, and only pay attention to part of it. Ya think maybe there is more to him, or her, then being a Marine pilot?
I think I need a donut.
Semper Fi.

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.

So I would like to say thank you to jerkoffs like you who completely disregard the good that LEOs do on a daily basis and spew garbage out of your mouth like you know something. Because we're the ones who make you speed, steal, etc etc. More importantly I dont come to your job and talk **** to my buddies about how much you suck. So, while you're running your mouth with little to no responsibility, we're still out here, rain/snow/sleet/sun/heat/cold protecting people like you. So STFU and let me do my job so I can put food on the table and parts on the bike.
