Hey again!
So I was pretty bored the other night and I started reading threads in the Ask-a-Cop section, and noticed characteristics of "most" posts...
1) They don't like the Police, or didn't like the fact that they got caught doing whatever it was
2) When insulted or didn't like an answer, they get all defensive and fire back
3) People ask if they can become a LEO with a criminal charges like DUI's, assault, etc. on their records... Really?
Seriously, 14 thousand pages full of threads with this pretty much. I don't understand people sometimes. I give you all props for sticking in it this long and being able to answer questions anyone intelligent enough could probably figure out on their own.
Now just so not everyone gets hurt, there were some good/honest questions I read with mindful, clear thoughts going into them. My kudos to them as well!

Thanks, man.
I do have to note, however, that I had to move your thread. There was no question, so it really didn't belong in AAC.

Thanks! Just remember, there are no stupid questions just stupid people that ask those questions.
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence!

That pretty much hits the nail on the head.

I mean, we're getting killed for these people and they don't even appreciate it. They think it's a big joke.

Ah lol! There's no need to pay me! It's just so heartbreaking when you see really really...really dumb questions being asked on these forums. I'm sure that's what it's there for, but c'mon!
What really makes me stop and laugh are the questions like " I got convicted of a felony drug charge, but that was 3 years ago, I've really turned my life around!. What are the chances of me becoming a Police Officer?!?!?"
Well, I guess if they're dumb enough to be caught up in bad behavior, they're dumb enough to ask these questions... Just my couple coinage

Look at it this way, If there wasn't so many stupid people, where would the entertainment factor be?

Back a couple years ago, I used to read those questions in Ask a Cop while eating popcorn. It was the highlight of my life.
Stop whining about your life's woes. The soldier who fought for your freedom lost two arms and a leg. You don't hear him complaining.

Yep. Without stupid people, I'd have had to had a real job. Originally Posted by ChesCopPodz
