ANYWAY, it's interesting how vehicle theft is actively pursued due to our
penal codes. I suppose it is a carry-over from horse thieving days. Our
vehicles are everything. Other things don't matter.

#1)nobody is a cop because they want to better society
#2)every cop either got molested/beaten/picked on as a kid OR
#3)just love to be above the law.

A call comes in on the radio. Burglary. You take a bite off your
doughnut.
That donut baby just keeps getting bigger. You don't want to go chase
a burglar on foot. Another call on the radio. HIGH SPEED CAR CHASE.

the department just got you a 2006 Ford Interceptor. 350 horsepower,
ABS, etc etc. Now that sounds like fun. Something you can tell your
buddies at the bar.

Burn some rubber of your tires, run over a pedestrian, and chase that
guy down. It provides entertainment for the stupid masses as well.
Everyone
sits at home, glued to the television, watching the latest "drama" on
television. A pinto driven at 75Mph the wrong way down the freeway,
with 40 cops from 5 different counties in hot pursuit.

$250,000 in police vehicle and road sign damage , and the pinto
thief is caught. The old lady that was run over. She's dead. The
family that got their minivan ran into by the cops. They're screwed.
The driver of the pinto? Free transportation to the border.

I love the USA.


LMAO.

Seriously though I have heard (reliable source is all, no way to back it),
that 67% of the police (not including state troopers) here in MA were abused
as kids.

I do love some of these cop shows. What truly amazes me is how much do
these shows cost the tax-payer, yet no one complains? Even worse how many
times has the tax-payer suffered as the car with the camera has to speed
across town for the best ratings, meanwhile Grandma has a burglar in her
house. How many times do we see the actual car with the camera getting to
the scene first.?

I do love the one show (does not seem to be on any more), that always
bragged about the cops being "highly trained" yet it takes forty of them to
stop an idiot in a Pinto.
