RE: Jim Phillips/Police Persuits/Betrayal

[Bruno6301]

Well, Mr. Phillips, thank you for taking the entire posting area on PoliceOne.com and placing OUR opinions on your website, Pursuitwatch.org....You came to that site, asking opinions, trying to make a point, and I agree, some of the responses you got, I was angered to see, BUT...that gave you no right to take all of the opinions of myself and other LEO's to your site, and bash us. That is why some police officers are not too trusting, and they develop these areas of discussion to talk to everyone, not just cops.

I don't know about the rest of the folks here, but I did not appreciate it to see myself and others bashed for their opinions because they did not go along with yours, or were not the anwsers you wanted.

I reviewed the accident report/homicide reports, and I listened to the 911 tape. It was a "good" pursuit, not meaning that it was good that it happened....It was well within the legal bounds of the law, and that one officer did what he was trained to do. I am so sorry for your loss, and I will pray that you do recover, and so will your family. Indeed it is so hard to lose a loved one, as most of us has, but, it was not the police officers that did this to your daughter, it was the criminals who ran, and threatened other's lives as well..they had to be stopped.

I have nothing more to say on this topic...It has been moved to an LEO secure site, on PoliceOne, and I've nothing else to say. If you choose to print this in your website, at least stop bashing all the LEO's with a well trained, order abiding opinion, based on Experience, not from a wannabe's opinion.:mad:

[txinvestigator1]

SO its OK for your to call him out here? It appears from your post that we cannot go look at what you claim to have happened on the other site, as it is in a "secure" location.

This is not a personal dumping ground for you to attack members here, especially those who have behaved themselves well.

It also appears that for which you chastize Mr Phillips has nothing to do with Real Police, but rather two different sites.

I don't think Phillips is a "wannabe" and think he wants to stop mindless pursuits.

I won't debate that topic here with you, but gladly would on the thread concerning pursuits.

By making your post here you are doing exactly what you are complaining he did. Can you say hypocrite?

And the word is spelled "pursuit".

[Bruno6301]

First , I am far from a hypocrite...and I can spell quiet well. I was only trying to make sure that others avoid the bashing of a good bunch of people for an opinion he asked for, and he did not get the anwsers he wanted...

Second, I am a very intelligent, well-educated person with enough Law Enforcement experience to make a case. And I am not intimidated by anyone. I will stand my ground as I have all my life and lived to tell the tale.

Third, you do not go into any forums, fight a topic until you realize that you are not getting the anwsers you wanted, and because you simply do not like what you are getting, good, honest opinions from experienced law enforcement officers, you leave. If you want respect, earn it by staying with it until the topic comes to a close.

Fourth, I am no idiot. I don't like the idea of giving someone an opinion to which they asked for, then them taking the opinions to their web site, and bashing cops. That was wrong, and I posted here, because I LIKE a lot of the people here, and don't want to see them bashed. I have the respect of a LOT of seasoned, intelligent LEO's, and I did not earn that by being a "hypocrite" who obviously CAN spell.

Fifth and last, I have a right to my opinion too as do you, but I would not take it and use it as an opportunity to bash fellow LEO's. Thank you.

Anyone can stay on this topic with him, and it's not my decision what steps, if any, the moderator takes. I respect whatever they do. But I won't be bashed along with other LEO's because that is wrong. Maybe you and others can give him the anwsers he is looking for....I can't.

I never called "Mr. Phillips" a wannabe..I am talking of those who will come onto these site's and "play a good part"....Also, show me where I misspelled PURSUIT???????


As always, Stay Safe:cool:

Big deal, so Mr. Phillips envoked his right to put someone's open opinions on his website. People can think what they want, say what they want, or say what they want and that should have no bearing on you or me. Why is this a big deal for you?

[Bruno6301]

Thank you Zander...If I need a word origin, I shall seek your wisdom Sir.. ha ha LOL (teasing)

Yeah, he has that right, as do I have the right not to like LEO's giving opinions, then getting bashed. It feels like one was used, then displayed for public bashing. Sorry, I just don't like LEO's being bashed.

Hell, I always get opinions I don't like, nor agree with...But I would not take, say your opinion nor TxInvestigator's to bash you. When I was a bomb tech, I got many, many opinions, bashes, and comments I did not like.....But I took it.

I am also talking of earning respect by sticking with something you initiate. He goes on a site, initiates a topic, then bolts when he did not like the anwsers....Granted, I DID NOT LIKE some, like one comment, "Drive your car at 60 mph into a pillar"...That was rather crappy, and uncalled for. I just believe if he would have looked beyond that, kept at it until all could see his point, he would have earned respect....

I don't hate the man, by no means, but I just disagree with myself being nailed because I don't like fellow brothers and sisters bashed for an opinion they offered in (most cases) an intelligent, articulate manner....

Take care Sir.....:D

[Barenaked]

Well, Mr. Phillips, thank you for taking the entire posting area on PoliceOne.com and placing OUR opinions on your website, Persuitwatch.org....

There is where you did not spell Pursuit Correctly.

Why do you feel the need to follow this man around and bash him. Do you not have anything else better to do? I remember your first post about him where you jumped the gun. Remember that? Leave it well enough alone and let him do his thing and let us form our own opinion about the man!

[Bruno6301]

I am not following him around bashing him....I belong to a lot of forums, and I dont attack people. I state an opinion..And I don't hide my tail and leave, and I don't bash other LEO's...

And yes, I think I know where I misspelled a word.. That is why I thanked Zander_Zye, and I corrected my errors..I edited it, and once again, I thanked Zander_Zye..Some of us have long days/nights. Also I saw a few errors on TxInvestigator's previous posts in other areas, but I don't get so petty as to correct people's spelling. I listen to their thoughts.

Yes I do remember everything I post, and the responses to it. I guess I will continue to get bashed here, because I don't like LEO's being bashed and their opinions used against them. So be it.

[Barenaked]

I state an opinion..And I don't hide my tail and leave, and I don't bash other LEO's...

Mr. Phillips has every right to leave and not continue a conversation. All this is, is an online web site. He doesnt owe anyone an explanation of his opinion nor does anyone else.


You are attacking him by starting a thread to bash him. If you have a problem with something he is doing then take it up with him via email or PM. There are many ops to get a hold of him personally via his website.

[Bruno6301]

Tried and failed....No response.

There is one thing I must add though....I do not agree with one item that the other website said in regard to Mr. Phillips...The moderator said that he posted the page and he made it appear that it was on his website originally, and that is not the case. I have to say this.....I looked, and read all that was posted there, and to me, he DID say it was his visit to this website, and it did not go very well. He posted the page and said that this was the comments made there...They are saying he is in violation of copyright law. That he took a page from a website and it clearly violates the rules he agreed to upon joining....I don't agree that he falsely stated anything nor made it look like it was his site's forum....Have to be fair on that. I am a little unsure now, as to why they did move it to a secure site, because it has been open for some time.

It just looks to me, and others, that when someone makes a valid point, he leaves. I just believe that you gain respect by staying and not fighting per say, like you said, it's just a forum, but maintaining (shall we say) your view. See?:cool:

[Island_Girl]

I haven't paid CLOSE attention to this thread, but I do have to say one thing. During the conversations somewhere, there was mention of the other site here on RP, I decided to take a gander. There, Mr. Phillips invited openly other people to view his website. Upon doing so, I thought that the site was very derogatory about the officer on the scene and LE in general. I really feel that by going from forum to forum looking for a fight, he is only extending his pain. If he wants to make a real difference, he needs to move away from the computer and take this fight to the Senate. Hopefully, once you make a substantial change then you'll be able to have closure. God bless you and all that you are trying to accomplish, I (in your situation) could never be so strong.

You edited your misspellings of the word pursuit. You spelled it persuit more than once in your original post and YOU know it. You went back and edited your post after you saw that I pointed it out, thereby damaging your credibility. If you are going to start a thread publicly bash someone for events not even occurring here at least spell the word correctly that is the thrust of the entire deal. You have even posted your rantings on officer.com where you misspelled pursuit.



I will ask again if that of which you complain has anything to do with RealPolice?

Your problem with this guy should have been handled in PM.

You, rather than Mr Phillips, seem to be the problem.

[Bruno6301]

I really don't understand this thing on my spelling...and the fact that I corrected it..I did not hide that fact...IF you will read it, I THANKED Zander_Zye for the correction.

I am not really too worried that you don't seem to like me, and if you want to track me, fine. I can post where I please if it is ok with the moderators...I do NOT curse anyone, nor do I constantly correct the spelling of others. I am not that petty. Nor am I embarrassed to admit I misspelled something.

Geez, I am a good person, and I am not afraid to stick with something. I did not realize you were so perfect Tx. and your spelling is not perfect either.

If you don't like me, don't read any of my posts, and I AM talking to Mr. Phillips as we speak. Seems he IS a listener, and I actually APOLOGIZED to him for the COMMENTS that some cruel people did say, that I DID NOT.

I haven't lost credibility with those I work with, nor care about. I do not "rant" nor am I close to being stupid. You may have the last word, I don't need it as strong as some. And YES I do post on O-Com. I have MANY years Law Enforcement Experience, and I will speak my mind.......Gee, we were even allowed to vote and have a voice. Again, Sir, have the last word.

The fact that you misspelled it is not a big deal. It is the fact that you denied you misspelled it after you edited your post.


Before others pointed out it out too you claimed to have not misspelled anything. You edited your post, then claimed to have not misspelled the word. This shows you no not have integrety and makes me question your motives for attacking Mr Phillips.

I don't dislike you, hell I dont even know you. But I have a problem with your behavior here. No one is tracking you (but you do seem to be tracking Mr Phillips, sort of the pot calling the kettle black...........). I frequent o.com, and I saw your post there while viewing the site.

You still don't get it. It is not the spelling that has become an issue, it is the fact that you attempted to lie about it.

No one has called you stupid, or questioned your LE experience or your education, or if you are a good person so why do you keep bring it up?

Seems those who keep tooting their own horn probably need to.

[911]

Mr Phillips seems very particular about the posts he replies to. He has suffered a great loss and seems to be on a crusade to "stop the cops". That is only a tiny aspect of a huge issue, which he either chooses not to acknowledge or is ignorant of.
