It's all good man. And really the experience so far on autogeek hasn't been the best for me either. But I apologize if I offended you in my way.
 
If you had a bad experience on Autogeek, you should probably start with the man in the mirror.

Yeah, and for a mirror we can use one of custm's reflection shots!!
 
Prayers go out to all who wear the badge every day and help make this country safer to live in as well as the families of all officers who gave their lives keeping us safe here.
For the perps it reads like this: Don't run,don't Die,Just comply

It's tough for me to sit back and say thanks to all police, because not all are good. Some think the badge gives them special privileges. And it doesn't.

There are a few bad eggs in every single profession on earth. Research has shown that the law enforcement profession has fewer bad eggs than most other professions with similar number of people working in their field.

Oh I get what you are saying, and I have been on forums for years and years but this one has been a very different experience. And been on Autopia and other detail forums too, nothing but great people and good experiences.

Not so much here, unless I'm part of the herd. God forbid I mention another company's product that works better than WG lol.

But I have yet to lose sleep over it.
 
I support the 1st responders, they do what I can't do, period! I don't know or have a family member in this line of work but I really do appreciate what they do.

My problem with the brotherhood is protecting those who do wrong, case in point here in Chicagoland. LaQuann McDonald being shot down like a dog 16 times as he's walking away from the cops where there was ALOT of them, no one in blue was in danger, safety in numbers was in full effect. This was all on video, no doubt about what happened here, so justice needs to be swift and severe! Then a couple weeks ago, on video, a cop kicks a cuffed guy in the head, knocking him out. At the very least he should be fired IMMEDIATELY!

That said, they got it right in Furgeson. The gentle giant went inside the police car and when that happens it becomes life or death and officer did the right thing and went home to his family and the gentle giant was killed.

Bottom line here, the brotherhood will not call out their own and either will people in urban communities, the question that should be asked is how do we change this and remove the POS' from our society and move forward!

In my opinion, your comments don't reflect that you "really do appreciate what they do" when it comes to law enforcement officers.

If you're referring to the shooting of Laquan McDonald, Officer Jason Van Dyke is being prosecuted for 1st degree murder. Although it falls short of your "swift and severe" standard, that case is working its way through the criminal justice system, as it should. There are also state and federal investigations into the shooting, and the way the incident was handled in the aftermath. That's how the system is supposed to work.

In the (unrelated) incident involving an unknown officer "kicking a cuffed guy in the head", there's a complaint and investigatory process for such things. Immediately firing an officer is usually a sure way to involve that department in a wrongful termination lawsuit, as the correct way to handle such incidents is to place the officer on administrative leave until the investigation determines if there was any wrongdoing. If so, the officer may face considerable consequences, including termination, criminal charges, and civil penalties. That's how the system is supposed to work.

If you're referring to the shooting of Michael Brown and subsequent unrest in Ferguson, MO, many people got it wrong, and willfully continue to do so. Yes, Officer Darren Wilson was exonerated of any wrongdoing; he had to leave the police department, yet the Black Lives Matter movement continues to utilize the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" fallacy in their efforts to agitate and misinform the public. That's not how the system is supposed to work.

The bottom line here is that you don't appear to know what you're talking about.


It's possible to Support the Blue (the intent of this thread), and still be critical of some law enforcement officers' failings, but in light of the continuing war on cops and the increasing unrest throughout the United States, everyone would do well to calm down. There will always be officers that fail to live up to their oath, but that number is extremely small compared to the majority that perform their duties faithfully every day. Officers deserve to be investigated, sanctioned, and prosecuted, as our system allows. The current batch of riots should be unacceptable to everyone, as should the rabble rousers that foment the violence. We have more ways than ever to follow the investigations of incidents, to form rational opinions about them, and to decide on our personal response to them. Take the time to do your homework, and don't allow yourself to be sucked into someone else's agenda.
 
Can't we all just go detail something and leave these kind of controversial threads for some place else? :autowash:
 
Yeah the system is doing it's job but loose cannons are all over the place and when such responsibility is given its in everyone's best interest to seed them out before they go off, agreed?

I know how "the system works", don't really need a civics lesson. The system worked great on the Rodney King trial, hub. Once again, on video tape beating him like a dog and no one did jail time, are you F'n kidding me! He may not have been a "pillar of society" but didn't deserve that, not one bit and don't give me the system and how it's supposed to work, it didn't. Other fellow officers in that video stood by and didn't do a damn thing about it, what happened to them, hmmm.

As far as "hands up, don't shoot", TOTAL BS! The media, who needs to go through the system, fanned those flames. I would like to see urban communities stop talking about "we need programs" and start looking in the mirror and policing themselves. These rioters are making things worse, not bringing anyone together. Turn the damn news cameras off and see what happens.

In closing I love how our president has improved race relations, they've gotten worse and even be doesn't call out people in urban areas where all this $hit happens on a regular basis.

Thank you to all our first responders who do their jobs correctly when no one is looking, that's what it's all about!

My hope was that you'd pump the brakes and think about what you were saying. I see that wasn't in the cards.


To everyone, I leave this bit of sage advice from the '80s. LEO or not, the next several months are going to be tough on America.

 
Brakes pumped and car in park.

Now, let's see...stolen Jag in Bolingbrook and thief shot in the back. On the video, yes, a video of this, cop is heard saying "did you get him?" and shaking hands, classless!

This $hit has to stop! Yeah I know he'd be alive if he wasn't stealing a car but shot in the back and killed over a stolen Jag!

Police just need to be armed with rubber bullets. They incapacitate the perp and nobody gets severely injured
 
That is definitely an option but they do need to use lethal Force at times. I said it once and I'll say it again, they do have one of the hardest, Chicago! I feel there needs to be a single effort to weed out the bad cop and set up the training consist of his gun violence is always the top story of the day, everyday!

In the real world, people often continue to fight long after they've been shot with real bullets, even when mortally wounded.

I'm sure you meant to say something, but I'll have to wait for the translation.

If the officers are found to have acted improperly, they will suffer the consequences.

First I kinda agreed with the rubber bullet thing, pretty easy to understand. Second, I stated the police have a hard job, again, easy to understand. Thirdly, oh wait, that's not a word...3rd and final point was BLUE knows who the rouges are, weed them out (weed them out means look for them and turn them in) The arse they save may be there own. I live in the Chicagoland area and go in and out of the city everyday, the not so good parts and I don't need some vigilante taking me out because of the some stupid, crooked cop, I have a 7 month old baby and a wife and earn an honest living, so lets have a conversation here and don't be a Richard head, need a translation for that, check Google.

Talk to txt sucks sometimes.
