I agree. We shouldn’t respect/look up to people based on occupation.

We should respect people for who they are and not ridicule them for who they are or what they believe. Some of you on here could learn that lesson. Instead, you choose to be pricks to me, PJB, and others. Yeah yeah, it’s all jokes online and none of you are like that in person. That’s bullshit. That’s a lame excuse for being able to be an asshole to someone online.

This was not directed at you Chris. General post. And I’m sure there will be 30 posts after this telling me I’m gay, a bible thumper, etc. etc. Knock yourself out kids.

If you choose a job just for respect then you got some issues. You shouldnt have to look up to cops if you wish not to. They are simply doing their job just like every one else.

I’m not condemning anyone. That is not my job. But doesn’t change what I said: that he MAY (we don’t know yet) have been driving recklessly. That’s all I’m saying.

They (Coast Guard) served during Desert Storm. Even I know that.

This is because people are voicing their opinions on things that I strongly disagree with. I didn’t say anything insulting nor inconsiderate towards the officer in the OP, it was more to argue with what someone else on here said.

It’s a post on a car forum, not a wake/funeral. I said a prayer for the guy and wished his family well, there’s not much else we can do at this point.

Except argue…

you seem to lack any concept of reality sometimes. police will be on scene 95% of the time before EMS. trained first responders. :Idiots

i dont care who you THINK you are but all police deserve respect. the fact that they are willing to do such a selfless job is reason enough.

innocent until proven guilty… ever heard those 4 words?

once they have been convicted of a crime, they are no longer cops, they are convicts… and convicts are not to be respected.

I respect people who do their job the way it should be done. I hold no more respect for a trooper then I would a doctor, a nurse a garbage man. They are all doing what they get paid to do imagine that.
