Our Police forces

[Synshine]

Well put MarkL. While the media is quite quick to jump all over the EPS when errors are made, if any one of us had to put up with the daily BS they put up with we'd likely use our guns to shut the next guy up.

Good thing SP's don't have handguns!!! I would bet that an occasional day at the "spa" may possibly compete with a day in the EPS...especially last Sunday Jim....*sshhhhhh*.

ooxoox

I don't think a certain rabbit is soooo innocent.

A certain lord of mischief is still nuts over a rabbit. At least since I last talked to him on chat about 2 weeks ago bunny.

I would taser them and call my brother

The police force is full of human beings. I'm not naive enough to believe that they are all saints. However, let me ask you this:

Who are you going to call in the middle of the night when some asshole is trying to break into your house? Who are you expecting to come to your rescue possibly to face some insane meth head who will turn on them in a minute and will sue them if he breaks a nail during the take down?

Cops for the most part are like any other people. Treat them with respect and courtesy and you'll get respect and courtesy back. This attitude has gotten me out of a lot of traffic tickets and avoided further trouble.

IMHO most cops and nurses are the most underpaid group in the workforce.

I agree cops are human and respect is one thing to give but they have give towards people also i had a friend who gave a prostitute a smoke and the cops gave him a shit load of garbage. really over a smoke he had to go to court before his charges were dropped because of some cop wanting to get high up on the food chain.

Absolutely Simonn, it is all about treating one another with respect and courtesy.

One of my former executive assistants decided to leave her chosen career and become a police officer. Her greatest attributes are her personality, professionalism, attentativeness and her listening skills. She was indeed a great asset to my companies. I financially supported her throughout her studies / training and she kept me abreast of her progress. After a few short years on the force, she became a Sargeant. Twice, I had the honour of tagging along her long shifts as a "ride along". Both times, the long shifts were around Vancouver's Downtown Eastside with the occassional backup in Yaletown and the West End. My ride alongs started with a 7am briefing in the station's boardroom and ended with some 7pm paperwork. In between, throw in the unpredictable horrors of a suicide scene below the Burrard Street Bridge, people assaulting one another, damage to commercial property, helping and listening to mentally challenged citizens, robberies, distressed seniors, automotive accidents, domestic disputes, and the list goes on. What an eyeopener.

BTW, the pay is not great. In fact, in her first three years on the force, she was getting paid less as a Police Officer than an Executive Assistant. That didn't matter a whole lot to her as she was loving what she was doing.

Peace.

As someone who has lived in a third world counrty, I will say this...

We complain way too much, Our police forces do not get the respect they deserve and are treated harshly the moment someone feels that their civil liberties have been violated..

START BEHAVING AND YOU WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE POLICE!

kids peeing in the street for craps sake!!

Do you two have the same crack dealer?

Cops, Nurses, Firefighters, Teachers are amongst the best payed people in our Society when it comes to jobs.

Cops in Edm start at around 50/year, some constables make in the 100/year range with overtime, Nurses make in the 30-45/hr, Firefighters in Edm start in the 40's a year and Teachers do too. All these people have the potential to make higher. Not to mention they all get raises virtually every year just because. There are plenty of people out there who don't work for the government who don't get a raise just cause.

They all start at more or close to the average median wage in Canada.

When you include their benefits and pension packages, fuck, an average Canadian paying their wages can't even dream about those.


As for cops, they aren't much more than secretaries with guns. Ask one what they mostly do and if they are honest, I will bet they say paperwork.
