The SAPD....serve who exactly? I have had my share of encounters with the Police. None of these experiences faired well. Most were traffic tickets that were violations for speeding..not much(usually like 8-11 miles over the limit) Most were pompous pricks. I was never cut a break...not that I expected any. But speeding is understandable. But what's with the profiling? One encounter when I was 17 I was out walking down around my neighborhood. I forget why I was walking. So as I walk down the street I see a cop drive down the opposite way I was going and I glance back and sure enough the cop turns around. Cop flashes his lights....like he had too
It was then that I discovered it was a dike...even worse. Cop ask what was I doing why...etc. Gets me on the car to frisk me. Gave me the third degree and after a while let me go. Was this cop bored? But that's just me experience.
What got me kinda upset was what happen to my brother in law. My parents still live in the same house from where I moved out the neighborhood is not that great but they refuse to move...guess cause they know everyone or maybe to old. My wife's brother lives across the street from my parents. I went to visit my parents and I see my brother in law standing outside his house. He was on his phone. I get out of my car and yell whats up to him from across the street. He gets off the phone and I turn and see a cop coming down the street. I say in a joking manner "dude get inside the cops" He laughs and just stands there. I walk in the house and as I turn back to get something in my car I see the cop pass his house but break and reverse. Cop gets out the car and starts talking to him. I later got the story. Turns out the cop was saying "what are you doing"..why....etc. He the said he looks su ious. My brother in law was like wtf.. whatever i'm not doing nothing. Cops says "you getting smart with me.. Come here.." At this point the cop is outside on the street near the fence. My brother in law is like 5 feet from his door. My brother in law says "i'm not doing nothing" and goes in his house...this point all my in laws come out the house...father,mother other brother and aunt. Trying to calm the police from a itchy trigger finger I guess.
More profiling?
What my question to you is....do you think profiling is needed to be a cop? To protect the community. Are there any times you were glad to actually see a cop?
cops are nothing but suckers anyhow... i'd say they're useful when you need them but even that's a lie. the only cop that was ever helpful to me was the one that came to my house almost 2 yrs ago after my ex decided she'd claim i beat her... long story short, that cop pulled me to the side and said, "you keep dealing with chicks like these and you either end up getting them pregnant or yourself in jail." dude was cool and gave me the best advice ever!
I am sorry you and your family were hassled.
But I don't think you can generalize about all police based on the few you have encontered. There are many good police out there- many whose good deeds go unnoticed because we are all so busy complaining about the bad apples out there.
Profiling is definitely wrong and unfortunately police are not the only ones guilty of it.
I have been guilty of profiling people in my work, though not in regards to race.
When teens come into the restaurant where I work, I tend to assume they are not going to be able to afford to pay what we charge for dinner.
I am not always as courteous to teenage customers at the mall as I am to ones who are older. I know this is because I assume a teen is not going to be a secret shopper or think to report me to a manager if I am short tempered with them.
I can't rightly point out the polices' errors without acknowledging similar ones of my own.
Don't ask me what I think about pigs or Dike pigs
Maybe it's to punish and enslave.
It's a job that attracts assholes and further enables their assholish behavior.
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't met some great cops- good people, in it for the right reasons. The vast majority of cops I've met have been incredibly stupid (literally not smart) and/or complete s. Why they go out of their way to treat the law abiding public like absolute is just beyond me, but it doesn't make them more effective, it makes them and their profession a complete joke. There might be a few good apples here and there, but the majority are trash. cops.
And people on this site really have a hard time spelling right. It's wrong everytime someone tries to post it.
Yeah eff those dikes.
I don't really give a , just sayin, it's always wrong. Always.
I'd like to get in on this police bashing. them all. I was running to the store because i wanted to get back before the commercialls to a game were over. This is a small town, long story short we start arguing bcuz he wanted to know why i was running and my first answer was cuz "i'm in a hurry"
but those Mfers always stop to mess with me when i'm walking somewhere, just cause i'm mexican. 10 years ago asking me where i'm headed to and searching me when i'm in my bill millers uniform.
Yes. You take away all forms of profiling and police work would be exponentially less productive and effective.
Bull ! You were there!http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/show...highlight=
cops are often courteous to me and i've even been thanked for not resisting arrest.
It is kind of hard to claim profiling of Hispanics is a problem with the majority of SAPD when the majority of cops in the SAPD are Hispanic.
I only hate the gay cops and bags
I've always treated them with courtesy and respect and have always received the same back.
apparently not this one
that's a 2 way street. it's this way with a lot of cops but many are just straight bags no matter how you treat them. still i'm thankful for what the good one's do, it surely outweighs the negatives of having some jerks running around.
^^This^^ If you guys go running off at the mouth to police how do you expect them to react? If you don't respect the officer at least respect the uniform. There are some pricks out there no doubt, but even before I became a police officer myself I never had any negative encounters with the police. I remember one time me and my buddy were racing these girls we had just met on a residential street at 9pm. The speed limit was 35 and I know he had to have been doing 70-80. Well my buddy was driving my car and he didn't have a license. Didn't know until the officer stopped us. Well we were respectful and told him we were sorry. Dude didn't even give us a warning he just said not to do it again. He even joked around with us because the girls were at the corner of the street waiting for us and he said something to the effect of "man they must really like you guys because they are waiting for you" That officer was well within his rights to impound my car and take us both in. But he didn't even give us a warning. So I reinterate my point, you go off talking to officers you can expect to be hastled. I can't tell you how many times I have saved my buddy's ass because a officer will pull him over and this dumbass has to start running off at the mouth. Cop pulled him over for a tag light being out and he starts yapping off, "damn dude you are pulling me over for that?" I am like dude will stfu. I had to show the officer y badge just so they wouldn't haul that idiot off to jail.
I think it's best to judge each officer you meet individualy, because you can encounter one asshole, and it ruins it for every other cop that comes along. I have found an effective way to put the bad ones in there place. Turn on your cellphone recorder, let them know you're recording the entire encounter, and if he/she has already said some negative comments to you, lay into their ass about their superhuman level of incompetence. When they know you have evidence of them behaving in a negative fashion, they will take almost any abuse that you throw at them.
it's one thing to treat them with respect and another to be pulled over for nothing, hassled and treated like dirt.
i've met 1 cop i have respect for in my life and 1 cop only who helped me see the light.
as for the rest of them...

The public has a right to ask what they are being pulled over or stopped for. It just how you come off asking. At least with me anyway. I can't speak for you guys maybe SAPD just has a force full of pricks I don't know. But I do know for a fact that my buddy stays getting into it with the police because he finds it necessary to get smart/indignant with them. Then he says all cops are assholes.
i don't talk to cops... if they pull me over, question me, whatever then i just sit there with a blank stare cause i know it ain't worth the hassle to on them because the end result is they win all the time.
i don't like cops nor do i respect them but i do understand their position in society is regarded higher than mine so i just sit back and let them get all red in the face until they finally let me go on my merry way. it is what it is and it's a sad state of fact but it could be worse like it is in many other countries, states, cities, etc.
Good god I agree....
Didn't want to cause he was in a rush to get some donuts.
ok i'm joking. Yes some cops are decent....But I never met one. Seems like it's gonna get harder to find one too. You're cop? Dude do they not make yall stay in shape? I Seen some real cop blobs.

Yeah I am Baltimore City. I know there are some in my department who are kinda out of shape. But no blobs or anything. Some of the Narcotics and Homicide decs are though. I can't understand why you guys get hassled by the police so much if you are getting pulled over for no reason? Even with my department, if we get too many complaints on the same crap over and over again, we will hear it from our supervisors.
