We admire Firefighters for what they do every day. But we hate cops for what they do....
Where is the love for cops | |

Posted: 11/10/2005 2:27:08 PM | i agree.....whether you like or hate cops......regardless....there is one simple fact to respect......
each day they are more than willing to give up thier lives for complete strangers...that is a selfless act that merits respect......
even if you dont like cops. | |

Posted: 11/10/2005 2:34:04 PM | Its not a Love Hate thing as I see it .. It depends on your interaction with Cops...PERIOD If 1 you had a good experance with a Cop well you tend to respect them...more If you had a bad EXP with a cop well you tend to dislike.. The Word Hate is too strong of a word in my world..
I was a Military Police for 3 yrs.. and i understand that point of View being one {{COP}} also being the ones that dislike them..
Overall Both Firemen and Police has tough Jobs and we should thank them in everyway possible because they are Our First line of Defense...
Hats off to Men in Blue and the Pyrosnuffers
 Cheers | |

Posted: 11/10/2005 4:02:56 PM | I don't agree with the statement about cops.. I've dated a few, and one of my good friends was married to, and still is married to, a cop.. They have a pretty crappy job, and are not appreciated for the good things they do most of the time.. And, a few may get "jaded", but think about it>? If you saw some of the things they see, I imagine you just might become a little "black and white" as well....
The same can hold true for paramedics, ER physicians ((who I work with)), and anybody else exposed to all the worst things life has to offer up>>
I say applause for anybody in a uniform, because what they do, most of us cannot imagine> | |

Posted: 11/10/2005 4:16:24 PM | I want to say thank you to all the people who posted supportive responces for the Law Enforcement community.
But someone said it earlier. If a person had a bad experience with a cop, then that person is liable to not trust them. Likewise, if a person got CAUGHT doing something naughty, then that person usually goes on to harbor a dislike for them.
Okay, there are bad apples in there. I know it's going to be said. But there are bad apples in EVERY group of people. And yes, cops become jaded. Heck, so do the dispatchers.
What it comes down to is this. Cops don't become cops to be heros. The ones that do are weeded out in the yearlong process it takes just to get hired. The ones who make it through are the ones who simply want to help people. And to cope with a lot of the crap that goes on, walls are built and they become jaded.
I respect all the uniformed defenders. Cops, Fire, Medics, Military.. all of them. | |

Posted: 11/10/2005 4:35:51 PM | | I've had a bad experience with a cop, and I've had good experiences with cops. Cops are humans subject to the same human failings as all of us. There are bad cops, and there are good cops. You should never paint with a broad brush either way. The responsibility rests largely with the institution to attract a higher caliber of person in regards to patience and ethics and to properly screen against those whose personalities are not resonant with the requirements of the job. I think there has been a lot of improvement in many major cities in this direction. It's a very demanding job, and those who execute it with efficiency, dignity and respect deserve the utmost respect in turn from the rest of the community. Those that abuse their authority, whether cop, judge or ceo, should face stringent punitive action. | |

Posted: 11/10/2005 4:44:41 PM | | i respect both professions i just dislike the rookie cops trying to be hardasses and make a name for themselves. The veterans of either profession are always fun to shoot the breeze with | |

Your assessment of physicians and surgeons is a tad harsh,... like the whole thread suggests there are arrogant folks in every walk of life but working in the medical field (and also my Dad is a Dr.) I can tell you that the arrogant/confident ones are the ones I want as my surgeon when it comes time to be cut into. Bedside manners may suck but their skills are outstanding, perhaps that extreme confidence in what you are doing is a requirement for that type of success. If one has the courage to speak their mind back to these people they usually are rewarded with respect so deserved. Correct they are NOT GOD, so let them know it but appreciate what they do, have done or may do to save lives. | |

Posted: 11/11/2005 9:53:32 AM | | The only thing about cops is that many time there is no mutual respect. Because they wear the badge, i will give them respect, but i would expect them to give me the same respect. They sometimes seem to forget that they are public servants, not THE LAW. Otherwise, i like cops, they are there for a purpose, and i am thinking about becoming one. | |

Posted: 11/11/2005 10:01:46 AM | I like Klo am a soon to be cop...whereas she'll be one next year, I've got 2 years before I put my foot in the door, as I want to finish college first. I have the upmost respect for all the men and women in uniform, whether the PD, fire, paremedics, or our military. They all do what they have to do to help out our citizens of this great country, whether it's taken criminals and placin them behind bars, or savin someone's life, they all do there part. God Bless them all! Oh, Klo...good luck!  | |

Posted: 11/11/2005 1:13:51 PM | I can only say that the reason you are probably treated with "less" respect that you wish for, is because of the other "crap" they put up with daily.... People in those kind of professions have to "harden" their hearts a little bit~~ They're lied to, threatened, shot at, beat up, you name it... Would you be so nice and polite to every person you pull over or deal with, when those things happen to you regularly>? I work for trauma surgeons, but I'll tell you that with all the horrible things they see, and all the horrible people they deal with, they are no less compassionate. (In fact, they're the best group of doctors I've ever worked for). It might seem that way to others, but they have to learn to step back and assess every minute detail of every situation ((if they value their lives))...
I'll admit there are cops ((and others in uniform)) who use it, who have huge egos, etc.. It's like every race (prejudice, to be precise).. there are good and bad people in every walk of life. Part of life I guess... | |

Posted: 12/31/2005 1:35:47 PM | Yes I have to agree love a man in uniform!
Military,Firefighter,Police :)
Though I did have this experience with a man who knew of my interest in a man in uniform said he was in law enforcement.
He was a rent a cop(security guard) at a university and met me for the date in "uniform" saying he was in same league with police!
Now that was interesting.
Yeah,guess I learned my lesson cuz now the UPS guy is haning round! lol | |

Posted: 12/31/2005 1:44:20 PM | | macoreilly- You being a firefighter, Is there really a...what's the right word..."feud"...between cops and FF's, or is that just made up Bullsh!t? | |

Posted: 12/31/2005 2:22:42 PM | Thank you macorreilly!
icbc, you truly are an idiot. If you had a clue what police officers and firefighters had to deal with daily from the general public, you might get it.
Both put their lives on the line to save sorry-asses like you. | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 4:35:37 PM | one of my all time favorite fantasies is of getting pulled over by miss lady cop and getting the frisked over routine (hot sunny July day.... not January).
I am not totally convinced that those two professions are always dangerous. Potentially Yes, always no... I see more FAT firefighters who sit on thier big duff scarfing donuts down "waiting" for an emergency to happen. Now a soldier or an alaskan crab fisherman.... always dangerous, every single second on the job has the potential to kill you.
ok ok maybe a honey, maple glazed donut might kill you if you eat it too quickly and choke on it.
Oh let me add... forest fire fighters... now that's dangerous! | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 4:38:07 PM | When I was blowing up timber making a line in front of the exploding Clover Mist Fire 18 years ago I had Deputy Sherrifs on both sides of me. 
There is corruption is Law Enforcement. There is a whole lot of unheralded altruism too though.
Cutehuh, I've usually found law enforcement far more tolerant of others. Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges. Cuff's can machined to order for anyone these days. | |

You have got two of the most dangerous jobs
I don't want people to think that I am being callus and that I don't appreciate what they do for society, but these jobs aren't as dangerous as people might think.
According to "CNN Money Article" by Les Christie, there fallowing jobs are statistical the most hazardous on America.
Fishers
Pilots and Navigators
Structural Metal Worker
Driver-sales worker
Roofers
Electrical installers
Farm Occupations
Construction Workers
Truck Drivers
Last year, Fox news performed a survey of what people thought was the most dangerous jobs in America was, and the two highest answers were Firefighters and Police. I would have thought that being a time of war, Military would have been in there somewhere, but it wasn't.
It just goes to show how popular opinion can be totally different from fact. | |
