I wasnt trying to start a pissing match, I just tend to get defensive with issues and topics like this with people making blanket comments and statements about officers like that. I do agree to disagree it makes things fun!! I also wont be the first one to defend an officer in the wrong because that happens too, more often than we would like to admit. But in this scenario of which I have been apart of in my career, a vehicle pursuit that is...not a death of an officer in a pursuit, things happen so fast you wouldnt believe it. We are trained to make a decision in less than a fraction of a second, most of the time we get it right. The worst part is of all the times we do get the decision wrong, even though we only had a fraction of a second to make it, citizens...lawyers, and others have days, weeks and months to rip that decision apart. Thank you for your comment about being safe and doing what I do. Even with the negative stigma most police officers have most are surprisingly nice and not jerks like they are portrayed to be, most of us are just passionate about what we do :grin:

A. You want to blame an "idiot cop" for attempting to protect citizens like yourself from a fleeing armed robbery suspect, who you should be blaming is the armed robbery suspect - if he wouldn't have robbed the store the situation would have never happened. B. Accidents do happen, no matter what definition you use "negligence" or not this officer was acting to protect YOU. And I guarantee the officer who was killed in the line of duty's family is not blaming the other officer but the robber. C. If you have complaints about how we do our job, do it yourself. I put my life on the line everyday for ungrateful citizens, disrespect, and hardly any money for it.
