By that logic, lets take away armor from the military. We could probably do without the airplanes too. There just isn't enough death to warrant any of that.

The Overuse of S.W.A.T. Teams
Over at Balloon Juice, mistermix asks a question based on the record of the Rochester, NY SWAT team which has only fired one shot in the past thirty years: There are plenty of drug arrests in Rochester, and there have been incidents of [...]

Says the guy that pulled someone over for driving like shit. Driver is not impaired and is just driving like shit. Does he get a warning to straighten up? A ticket for driving like shit? And sent on his way. Somehow his vehicle is searched and a treasure trove of almost illicit shit gets him arrested? I'm sure that there's more to the story.
Nice assumptions. His license was suspended, and the car he was driving, which wasnt registered him, went to car jail, vehicle was inventoried. Go ahead, tell me how im a tyrant.
back in the day, i mowed lawns for money (no allowance, but dad paid for the gas).
i would mow lawns for free if needed. it is sad this mentality is missing now except for a few.
/or my dad would make me. whatever.

Hey look, the military doesn't even make the list! Casual number crunching says we got them beat in the last 20 years when compared to number of personnel involved.Top 25 most dangerous jobs in the United States

This is tongue in cheek of course, mostly because the “not enough cops are dying” argument is stupid.
So what is your point?
I could give you pretty good answers to each but I don't think that is what you are after.

Well if your house ever gets burglarized, and your guns get taken, we’ll be sure to not arrest the guy who has them. Principles and stuff.
Like I said, I was sure that there was more to the story.
A tyrant? Are you jumping to conclusions? Tsk tsk.
Tsk tsk tsk. There you go again.
Come on man. I know you are a Barney in Mayberry. Something like that had to be the crime of the decade.
First 17 years I was in Los Angeles and Orange county, plenty of fun there. This one though was in Mayeberry for sure.
Not going to argue with you about instances where shit is used when it shouldn't be.
I think just about everybody on here agrees Waco was a huge, over-reaching cluster phuck where they just kept pouring more bad decisions on top of bad decisions because they were too proud to question the operation to begin with. Government officials from Janet on down should have been arrested over the entire poor decision chain.
I'm just saying your two examples are on the extreme end of over-reaction and both were absolutely uncalled for.
For every stupid over-reacting armor deployment, there are probably 5,000 across the country that you personally would be good to go with if you had the details.
This is the same ratio of logic that a lot of people use to say every (fill in the blank) is bad because some worthless prick that shouldn't have ever been employed by that group acts an ass.
Pretty sure we are not going to change each other's mind so I will just respectfully agree to disagree.

I actually laughed out loud at your point. Seriously.
Internet forums always amuse.
Carry on smartly.

back when i was still in high school, i almost got a ticket for driving like an asshole.
me and a buddy were working on our cars and after giving it a tuneup we took my car for a test drive.
there is one street that has a dip that collects water and i might have spun the tires a little bit.
anyway, somebody called the police and shortly after parking the car again to wash it, the police pulled up.
so i told him i had just tuned up the car and was "surprised" by the amount of power and apologized for the burn out.
so he hands me his ticket book and asks me to find the box for "driving like an asshole"
i told him i couldn't find it and handed the book back to him, and he says
"lucky for you, because if there was a ticket for driving like an asshole, i'd be writing you one right now."
and he left.

Top 5, and I don’t go drama queening about “don’t know if I’ll make it home” or have a defaced/colored American flag to represent my “struggle”
...and I don’t want one. I even manage to get by without qualified immunity
Cops and teachers are the most whiny bitches, with welfair hoodlums and politicians in a tie for 3rd place.

it's in the 50s when you take out one of the cities used in the statistics. Some crazy stat like 70% was from 3 areas alone. I forget which one but a study was done on police fatalities and injuries that was sent around to NJ troopers a few yrs ago. Was pretty interesting and if I can find it, I'll upload it.Top 25 most dangerous jobs in the United States

were you drinking with that reply or retarded, asking for a friend
The posts on this thread are why I don't participate as often as I did the first time I signed up here. The man did a good deed for an elderly lady. Not to mention after doing a wellness check to make sure she wasn't in distress or dead and stupid motherfuckers question it. Hope you never get old or have elderly parents
Good thing that mower didn't chuck a rock through someone's window, car door, hit the neighbors kids.....
Lawyers!!
It would really suck for the city/county taxpayers to pay for the repairs.

It's a really stupid way to judge the danger of a job, but as you love to hear, you do you. A better way would be to understand the max danger circumstance you might face on an every day basis. Like those guys in the video I posted above.Top 5, and I don’t go drama queening about “don’t know if I’ll make it home” or have a defaced/colored American flag to represent my “struggle”

Lol what
dead is dead
maimed is maimed
Cops would be a lot better off if they weren’t like a high strung horse scared of everything and out to kick and bite everything.
That and having to “win” every situation.
if micro peen wasn’t trying to “win” against the crowd saying “let him up” he wouldn’t be in jail for the next 20 years
I did and my question still stands. The logic is neither transitive or applicable here. it's retarded
...apparently not, had no idea how much landscaping was involved...
Its intentionally so, that was the whole point. As deersniper said, dead is dead and maimed is maimed, right? No, its stupid.
