I used to pass Westlake Boys High School regularly

There is a name for dudes like you.

"Commuter" perhaps?

Geez, I used to think "who on earth would ever be a teacher?"; I now think "who on earth would ever be a cop?" especially for people who go in with the best of intentions (which get ground away by the sheer shittiness of the shit they deal with).

Perhaps if we return to a society where the general public isn't treated as the enemy by those in a position of power then the job wouldn't be so bad.

The same goes for the rest of us. Don't tar the many for the actions of the few.

Far too many parents drive their kids to school in the cities.

The very act of trying to ensure their safety ... puts them in a very high danger zone.

Add stupid driving/parking skills of those parents ...

Precisely, this.

That's the pokeno one right?

Not as much as Gore!!!

...the only cop I know who wasn't human was RoboCop...every one knows about humans...some are fucked in the brain, some are even moreso...some are soft and some are wankers...and so on...some cunts should not just be given a uniform because they passed the qualifications and promised to obey the rules...this would apply to St Johns volunteers, the Police, Bus Drivers and Firemen and all the other uniformy type of jobs...there's something about uniforms...

Oi, we have good coppers down here. Never heard of anyone getting a ticket for 1kmh over the limit down here. And if they did, they would go and let the coppers tires down in the night, not cry like a bunch of babies on the interwebs.

One other thing I just remembered about that school. I don't think I've ever seen a parent's car parked on the opposite of the road when school gets out.

that's probably a lot to do with it ... parents acting sensibly

.This implies that only one brown dog doesn't chase chickens. .........

you were only talking about one school - the analogy still appears valid? (......how the hell did Muslims get in on this act??!!! )

Yeah, I've noticed that people seem to be more courteous in general since we've gone semi-rural.

I used one school as an example of how it can and should be. You came back accusing me of saying "just because one brown dog doesn't chase chickens then all brown dogs should be trustworthy in the hen house". I took this to be an analogy to driving. In that case I'm saying that most drivers "don't chase chickens", not just one.

In your post I read an implication that just because one driver can't drive you want every driver treated as if they can't. To think this way leads to all sorts of prejudice. Hence the Muslim reference.

I take it that this isn't what you meant?

[Flip]

Then the one you disadvantage ain't the cop - it's the victim.

Or do you intend to only 'never help' if the investigation doesn't relate to a victim??

Even then its name, rank and serial number.
