NYS Trooper Down

@AlpineSkiier

Yeah, well my dad is a tax auditor for the state. What if a terrorist locks down the building and he gets held up a gunpoint?

May this officer RIP, I will not judge him by what happened since the media tends to blow things up and away from proportion.

But I will never, ever “look up” to somebody strictly based on their occupation.

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.

We established this on the first page.

Now back to your regularly scheduled travis argument

What ever happened to saying RIP and leaving it at that? Think if this was one of YOUR family members…

@ny97sohc

who are WE to decide if the manner in which he provides a service is reckless. this is what im getting at. the man lost his life in an attempt to assist a fellow officer at another call…
a call, lets stop and think about that one for a second. someone was in need of legal help… help in which (apparently) one officer could not provide sufficiently alone. this man was going to help a colleage and another member of the public with something.
he is trained professionally on how to operate his vehicle… not only is it mandated he takes defensive driving every 2 years but he must take EVOC (emergency vehicle operations course) every 2 years as well. the man was trained and trained well in how to perform his duties. we dont know if there were extraneous circumstances which led to this crash… we dont know if the driver he was passing accidentally clipped HIM or vice versa… let the facts come out before we condemn this poor man. im sure his family has enough grief to deal with right now and dont need to see/hear speculation on how he may or may not have fucked up. he died in the line of duty as that sir is heroic in any sense of the term.

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.

I could say a lot about this statement/post but all I’ll say is this: look who’s talking. :retardclap

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…

@AlpineSkiier

When seconds make a difference? Get your head out of your asshole. If I call the police after my house is robbed, the only thing that is going to happen is the town will send someone over to take down and file a report. Then he will ask me if I have any questions and he will leave my house.

If my family is t-boned in an intersection, onstar will be there to call EMS if need be (where seconds REALLY make a difference). Traffic officers will then roll up afterword to issue tickets and to write a traffic report. :lol

Asking somebody to look at these guys as heroes just because of their uniform is absolute bullshit and neither I nor will anyone else in my family do so.

HOWEVER, judging an officer based on their actions, is something I do and I feel everybody else should do as well.

Failvis.

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.

[psi2high]

So the cops that steal drugs and abuse their power deserve respect?

[Auto0utcast1]

@psi2high

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.

[psi2high]

Yea but that has nothing to do with that statement dumb ass

[Alpine]

The only thing “all police” deserve is what’s outlined in their contract.

i gave my respects. you are the one who constantly persues an arguement about anything. you really need to take a look at yourself. asre you even a citizen yet? serious question

@ny97sohc

you live by them dont you, scum bag. yeah i said it.

im sure you couldnt care any less, but for what this is worth you just lost any and all hope of gaining ANY type of respect from me. penile dysfunction or not.

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.
