Respect the Cops? WHY!

[SixPackBack]

You're a good example of how small minds can be convinced that the actions of a few individuals are an accurate representation of an entire section of society.

Find a new hobby horse, this ones gone lame.

Sounds like I struck a nerve Spud. As for the actions of a few the same could be said about gang culture, not all of them are bad yet few of us have any respect for them as a group. Just like the pigs.

So lets go over this again, just how different are the pigs to any other gang ?

the Queen says they can....

I was on the sh16 ride in the week end and cought up with a Highy Way patrol car. we were traviling at an indercated 110-115 kmph. when there was no traffic around he slowed down and pulled over and waved at me , indercating to past him. I past him , I turned and looked at him, he gave me the thums up signal. I very nervaously begain to speed up. It was all good, I rode at about 120 kmph and gave it some shit once I was out of sight.
Very weird.
Was I dreaming?
Is there a big Fuck off ticket in the mail?
Was he a bike rider ?
Fucks knows.

We do a pretty damn good job. There was a bad culture in the Police back in the 80's and early 90's.

There isnt one now, there isnt even a drinking culture. Its all PC and paranoid now. Im not sad that the culture has gone but i think what the media has been doing in terms of twisting things, not just with the Police, to sell a few more newspapers or adverstising airtime is pretty low. That latest taser report is a classic example. It takes for someone to grow some balls and threaten to report them to the Broadcasting Standards Authority for them to come out with what the other six independant witnesses they spoke to said, not just the one "independant" witness who was himself involved in the fight.

you're all shit needledick. there isn't a drinking culture!

I remember you harping on in the chatroom about getting plastered at the little piggies club on cheap piss.

next you're gonna tell me that you're not another lying little pig.

Having a drink after work on one friday of one week out of a five week roster is not a drinking culture.

Try again little baby..

so you'd have no idea who the regulars in there are then?

We cant have a drink in the public domain as a group generally cause it doesnt look good and the bouncers and bar staff recognise us. So we have out own bar which we pay for out of a social fund.

..

Friday night drinkies after work is pretty much a Kiwi tradition. Either in the lunch room , or back of the warehouse, or the nearest bar.

Wouldn't be a lot of places didn't crack a few cool ones on Friday night for those who want to stay. Don't think I'd call that a "drinking culture" .

Can't see why the cops should have to be different.

i suggest you send your allegations somewhere else.

Try again little baby...

Ok, faggot.

I clearly recall you talking about getting wasted on cheap booze.

Why the hell would you having drinks in a group outside of work not "look good" unless you were shit faced and behaving like a bunch of cocks?

maybe i've answered my own question. filth.

Cos the world , and the nearest bar , are full of sanctimonious wankers, who would get their panties in a big knot at the sight of a cop having a drink.

And boozed up losers who get tanked up and decide that this is a good time to sort out the filth for giving them a hard time the last time they were arrested. Which then leads to all sorts of trouble and strife.

Neither of which anyone wants when they're looking for a quiet drink and a chance to unwind.

That's a load of shit Ix, sorry.

Unless they go out in uniform or playing hard man cos "i'm a pig" then the chances of them even getting noticed are slim. Unless they have FILTH tattooed on their forehead.

Are you telling me that cops never go out on the town? No wonder Dyna seems so sexually frustrated, he probably never gets invited to the gang bangs either.

[The_Dover]

Bollocks.

If you look the same in and out of uniform then you need a make over, call 0800 MAURICE for a Queer Eye NOW.

There's probably less chance of a disgruntled "customer" attacking a pig than there is of them getting drunk and deciding to smash someone else that has fucked them off.

You pricks just dont trust yourselves to go down to Providawhore without taking home a 12 year old for a spit roast once you've finished throwing your weight around at all the little boys that looked at you funny cos you were drinking Vodka Cruisers.

[mstriumph]

i'm not soft on bullies, either in or out of uniform .... but just because each one of us has probably met one or two of the 'power-crazed, jack-booted, arrogant-bastard' type of cop DOESN't mean we should generalize and tar the entire force with the same brush?

over here the police bikers seem to be aware that they are negatively- stereotyped and have taken the initiative to try and overcome this 2007 WA police bike rides

in general chat with them on these things, it has seemed to me that they welcome the opportunity of being seen/treated as individuals instead of 'them' .......

i suspect this is much the same as the way the rest of us are relieved when someone sees us as human rather than the 'dangerous, lunatic biker' way the media portray us, based on the idiotic actions of a few of our number

ahhhhhhhhh c/mon, fellas [and fella-ettes] fair do's .......... save your ire for the ones that personally do you wrong ... there's MUCH more kudos in facing down a bully one on one in person than generalizing on here .....

and, conversely, the cops on here should probably NOT be taking it personally if people slang off in open forum.. just recognise it for the stress-relief it most probably is?

ok sally sunshine out!

[Ixion]

Hm. Well, full marks for the WA police for initiative, anyway.

But I can't really see such a scheme working in NZ. On the face of it a chance to leverage off police biker skills would be a very good thing (those guys are GOOD), however given the speed focused nature of NZ policing, it would be a pretty artificial sort of ride: nobody venturing over 90kph, slowing down to the signed recommendation on every corner and so on.

Personally , my every instinct is to keep as much distance between me and plodpersons as possible. Dunno that I'd feel very comfortable riding with them. "Staged" events like the Westpac helicopter runa re a bit different , they're more of a procession than a ride, nobody's expecting to learn anything.

Anyway, if it doesn't generate revenue I can't see Police HQ agreeing to it.

You haven't been on the annual coast to coast ride then. With a marked police car leading about 400 bikes we weren't going what you call slow or necessarily sticking to any speed limits. I would say we were riding to the conditions though.

[The_Dover]

I get recognised a lot when im off duty. To say that i don't is rubbish.

At the end of the day your not a cop, and i doubt with your mindset you have made friends of any cops, so you dont really know what your talking about.

What do they do point and laugh?

"Hey look mom, there's that kid from school who had no mates and joined the pigs. Do you think he still likes to touch other boys pee pee's?"

You must be a real celeb. Are you gonna do a shoot in Womans Day soon?

[The_Dover]

When you loose an argument for whatever reason your need to resort to a torrent of feeble expletives in some attempt to offend me makes you look like a clown.

Whatever cocksmoker, at least I don't need a uniform to help me!

Have you been taking english lessons from Hitcher? You never used to know so many big words Dyna, I am impressed.

There was no argument to lose, specifically not with you, Cuntstubble. You're just a thick plod.
