[citation][nom]knightmike[/nom]For all we know the sheriff deserved it. Power corrupts. Way too may officers use their badge as a shield. They think they can disrespect people and get away with it. Maybe they were at a standoff and the officer was telling him to drop the gun and get on the 130 degree asphalt. F that. I'd rather shoot the cop.[/citation]
i have to agree to an extent. i live in an area where the cops are obscenely fat, as in as out of shape as i am, i could out run them all. and all they do is bust people for speeding, they wont even go to places where drug trades are happening, but less than 5 miles over the speed limit gets you a ticket.
here is another fun thing they did, about 2 years ago they moved a speed limit sign 300 yards, a sign that was there for 20+ years, and no one knew about it, and they pulled over 50+ people a day for a week, just because of that sign alone.
the cops where i live have NO respect at all from me.
and here is the thing i will never understand, why is it worse to kill a cop than a civilian? cops are there and know is dangerous, but a civilian doesn't. i don't get why you get a worse sentence for killing a cop than a civilian.
