Law Enforcement Attacks on Protesters

[BP348]

I've been away from RP for a while but I just knew that I'd come back and find a thread where all the LEO's thought the same way I do. Mostly referring to the pepper spray incident at UC-Davis, I know several people that were just outraged about it and when I defended the LEO's I got the, "what if that was one of your daughters?" well I'd expect my daughters to know there's a right way and a wrong way to be involved in a civil protest and if you're going to be passively resistant and non compliant then don't be surprised if the police use pepper spray. I will say I'm pretty disappointed in how the university and department are hanging the police chief and the officers out to dry but seeing as it's UC-Davis I'm not really that surprised.

We have/had an Occupy Movement down here for a while. Of course they were just lazy little pukes who couldn't find a job if it jumped up and bit them on the *** and I am not sure if they are still going or not as everyone got sick and tired of their BS very quickly.

Basically, from what I could tell, they were just whinging that they didn't get enough and others had more etc etc.

Well, I can't stand lazy little turds who want to blame everyone else for their pathetic lives.

I didn't even finish high school. I could have (had great grades and was breezing through). And I should have. But in my final year I got lazy and distracted by a pretty girl and thought I knew more than everyone else etc etc. So instead of finishing that year, and then accepting the scholarship to the Royal Military College to study to become a helicopter pilot, which was on the cards and my lifelong dream, I became a baker at a Donut King earning 2/10 of sweet FA. I was living in my uncles and aunties caravan and riding a pushbike 15 miles to work at 3 in the morning while all my friends graduated and went on to great jobs or higher education. (College degrees are probably not as important here as in USA from what I can tell.)

The time when my friends were going to their Senior graduation, I was starting at Army basic training. I was 17 and I was busting my butt in the military, instead of cruising through to become a chopper pilot.

I spent ten years in the Army. I made some mistakes. I spent time in a Military jail for being late to work (about 3 weeks late for those playing at home).

I pi$$ed most of my money up against a wall every weekend and I made numerous more bad choices when it came to women.

Eventually, at the age of 28 I decided to sort my life out, and became a cop. I worked hard at that and have been in the job for ten years.

I have my house, with a nice little mortgage, but nothing too much. I bought a nice modest house that I could afford, in a cheap but decent area. I have an acre and work on the weekends to make my house better. I don't buy something for it unless I can afford it.

I have the same computer I bought years ago. I am not going into debt just so I can have something I don't need, but want. I have a mobile phone that makes calls and receives them. I don't need an iPhone just to be cool, and barely anyone NEEDS half the crap apps they have on phones these days.

I own both my cars outright, and I don't have a motorbike (my other great love in life) because I have other things to spend my money on that are higher priority. I could get a small loan but that would stretch things a bit and if something happened, we might find it tight.

My point is, I could be a great Army chopper pilot, but I made bad choices and made the life I lived...which turned out pretty damn awesome anyway.

I could have a bigger screen tv and an iPad and an iPhone, and a motorbike, and horses etc etc, but I choose not to succumb to greed and laziness and relying on credit to survive. These lazy little ****s that want want want for things they don't need, and can't afford, and then ***** and whinge that it is everyone else's fault other than their own, make me sick.

If they were busier working their butts off like me, they wouldn't have time to sit around annoying the crap out of everyone else.

I'm not really that surprised.

Yeah, a university department in California. Did anyone really expect any different reaction from the faculty and administration?

One of the articles I read that was particularly laughable took a quote from a professor who blamed the university administration because they equip the university police with things like "assault rifles" and pepper spray. I guess he forgot what happened several years ago at Virginia Tech. This is yet another example of how the liberals hate the police until they actually need them for something THEY deem important.

I could never work for a university police department because of this.

Occupy some common sense.
Been on many skirmish lines, in general, protesters are annoying and retarded. And they love the police attention, contrary to what they and media say.
I also love the BS on how police are part of the so called "Machine". Keep smokin it, and listenin to Phish, and dont quit your day job if you have one (and take a bath). Sorry, Im so over all this crap.
The beat goes on. Peace out

During the entire "Occupy" movement, I have said that I would LOVE to see how many folks in the crowd are drawing Unemployment checks since they are supposed to be "actively seeking employment," i.e. not sitting on their butt out in a field complaining.

Everyone else either looks cracked out or too young to have enough life experience to understand anything about what they're complaining about.

One of the best posted pictures I've seen sums it up perfectly:


And hey, here's another for free, no charge:
