You really are mouthy at times Matt.
One more outburst like this and you'll be having a week off.
I let it slide when you shot your mouth off at me don't think that means you're going to get away with it.
This is why I hate the police

No, that makes you a punk with no respect for the rules that the rest of society has agreed to live under. As witnessed by your confrontational post style, here.st2b;924622 said:
Point taken. The poster should have left the skater comment out. There are absolutely punks out there screwing around at the expense of others, who think it's styling to disrespect the world in general. I've run into them skating, on blades, and on bikes. If you honestly look at the situation, however, you'll notice that skating seems to attract a lot more than it's fair share.st2b;924622 said:
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Police widely generalize by splitting the population up into 3 categories. Cops, Criminals, and Civilians. It's YOUR job to convince them you belong in the Civilian category. Skating is a strike. It's not fair, but it's still true. Raging against it won't help.
Now THAT is a comment designed to work out your difference of opinion in a logical and cool headed manner. :icon_rollst2b;924622 said:
Cops aren't all bad. Cops help more then hurt generally. I think its stupid to say you hate police. It should be, I hate some police.
Ironically enough, it's doing the same thing that they do - generalizing based on profession. The police generalize based on what look like. Admittedly, they refine that based on how you act, speak, and what you do for a living.SupraOfDoom;926150 said:

A friend of mine is a lawyer. Border guards and police actually address him as "Counsel" when they are talking to him.

I just know that I've considered being a cop to help people out... but then you have all these random people who hate you, or even want to kill even though they don't know jack about you. I've had this argument a lot with people. I'd love to see the cop haters live in a world with out them for a few days.
Shit, I've had to deal with some ass hole cops when I was younger, just like that boy in the video. I was running my mouth though when I should just shut up. Yet still, for every one bad one I've ran into I've run into 5x more good nice ones. Also, I think that cops in bad area's need to be hard, if they are soft people will try and take advantage of it. Cops are also trained to kinda make you scared, its a part of having people admit to doing something wrong, or to show signs of it.

Don't make me start to make generalizations based on color, mr. "I own every generation of Supra"!!! :icon_razzOneJoeZee;926199 said:
I would like to say sorry, personally, to everyone for the way I acted.
I'm sure if you met me, you would agree I'm not a bad-guy. And I hope to move positively from here.

for the record he appologized to me and i forgive him. I realize i only hate police when im doing something wrong. so maybe that has something to do with it. I mean some of them are unreasonable esp with the kinds of cars most people on here drive and/or like. In my black NA with loud exhaust i got pulled over 10x more than any other car ive owned. I never got a ticket because i never really broke the law but i got pulled over at least every week. and another for the record i used to be a cop hating public property defacing skate(bmx technically) punk too, but then i realized that you can have a lot more fun if you just follow the rules and expectations
Heading back from dinner tonight in the DD with my GF.....
Traffic is fairly heavy and slow so I passed a car in the inside lane then started threading the needle at about +10 Kmh...
I noticed the car I passed keeping pace in and out of the traffic and figured they were playing
Get 1 corner from home and the blue lights on the dash come on so I pull over jump out and wander over to the car, Cop asks "are you Ian" I say yep he smiles I smile he has me dead to rights and we both know it!
He say's "+10 isn't the crime of the century go wait in your car I'll bring your licence back"
He comes back hands me my licence smiles say's "keep it at the limit" I smile back laugh and say no probs and off he goes!
