You should have modified what ever weapon you had with all Norse mythology. T'would be pimping. But that does seem awesome. 175 goat power. If that's direct from horsepower. They give you pretty crappy cars don't they? Or am I just out of touch in my middle class world.ace_of_something said:
Yes, Yes, and a thousand times YES!sneakypenguin said:
Hmm, as cool as Boondock Saints makes it look it's a terrible idea. Every American even though dumb ones who don't deserve it through their sickening actions deserve the due process. Unlike the movies the conviction rate in this country is actually fairly high. What annoys me more is people pleading out for lesser charges... Well, technically speaking MOST murder victims are criminals. I cannot remember the statistic exactly but something like 67-76% of all murders are gang on gang, or criminal retaliation. When a gang banger gets his drugs stolen he then decides to beat the shit out of a rival gang member's girlfriend than the response is to kill the guy who beat up the girlfriend and so on. Omertà is vigilantism in the legal sense.eels05 said:
Well, I worked vice so... yeah about 3 dozen or so. If you mean 'kick in the door' type busts like in the movies. Only 2 or 3 and since I was a detective in Vice I didn't actually do all that much besides brief the SWAT Team. More often it's a set up where we (the police) sell or buy drugs from someone and they than get arrested shortly thereafter. We tend not to waste too much time with users. Dealers are the name of the game. If we think someone is a small fry then we'll bust them and pump them for information until they let us know where someone more important is and then charge them with something much less (or not at all). Dealers are a cancer on the world...Magnatek said:
The long answer is because I like helping people. I'm usually a very empathetic person I'm also very large so i can be scary when I need to be. I love the community I live in now and want nothing more than to try and make it better.Xvito said:
Not to terribly bad in our department the internal affairs (or OPR as we called it) was very tough. Brutality... well the only time I seen anything like that is after a long chase sometimes your adrenaline and heart are pumping so hard a guy will throw in one more punch than he needed. The biggest problem I saw was people trash talking. When you got the perp/inmate on the ground you don't call him a ************ he's still 'sir'.Jinx_Dragon said:
Yes, but it's a trade secret. You'll have to join a department if you want to know. (hint: it's in the place you'd least suspect)WanderFreak said:
That's good to hear, because I happen to know that a lot of cops only become cops only to satisfy their needs for power. (This information actually comes from studies carried out by the police themselves (in my country)).ace_of_something said:
That would be the mysterious powers of the badge. It causes people to use more turn signals, drive slower, say 'sir' and 'please' more often, walk without slouching, and hold in your farts. It basically means you have a good upbringing. You were taught to respect authority to a degree and maybe even have a minor amount of fear for it. Trust me though when I say you are in the minority. That's one of the biggest shockers I expected instant respect everywhere you go. That is not even close to the case.AngloDoom said:
A lot of drunken women will offer things up to sexual favors to get out of? well pretty much anything. There is a vast array of reasons this doesn?t work. I've even had one woman grab my crotch though she than went to jail for assault on an officer and the other cops teased me for a good while about being so bashful or that I should've gotten her number for lazy.quiet_samurai said:
Well, giving Speeding tickets save lives....Motti said:
Part of that is that it's not my favorite thing to talk about.iron codpiece said:
Alcohol not being illegal is hard for me to think of any examples or gather data for outside of experience. If I had to make an informed guess though - I?d say alcohol can DEFINITLY cause crime but not the organized type of crime which I am speaking. More sporadic violence - spousal abuse, vandalism, and most obviously vehicle related crimes are more common. I?d argue that a bad neighborhood causes the alcoholism not the other way around. The other thing is while widespread (adult) drug use is more common in poorer/criminally active neighborhoods alcoholism occurs in all tiers of society. (Of course sturgeon?s law applies)Crystalgate said:
It was probably an undercover thing.Graustein said:The cops are allowed to do that? I thought that came under entrapment (although I could be completely wrong).ace_of_something said:I have actually sold drugs myself... but that was to arrest mid level dealers... and i didn't see one dime.
