A New Westminster police officer was slashed across the face in Queen's Park on Saturday night.

The officer was investigating a complaint of a "distraught male," a press release from the police service stated...

It's disgusting that some people want to post everything that cops do wrong, when they clearly forget the dangers that cops put up with every single day of their professional lives.

Hopefully they catch the person.

This comment just proves , That so many Of you people don't even have a remote grasp Of what my postings and comments are about.

A police officer getting injured or killed Does not Wipe out the hundreds Of cases Of incompetence, Corruption , violence And Charter rights violations.

It is sad that this officer got Injured. But you lose me when you start talking about Being a hero and risking their life every day for the citizens

being a police officer doesn't even come close,to being one of the most dangerous jobs.

You are right. There are many many more dangerous jobs out there and to say they risk their lives every day is a stretch. But a rig worker, logger or miner isn't dying or getting injured as a result of the intentional act of another person in the process of keeping your ungrateful *bleep* safe.

KL3, Guess you've never been on a crew with a bunch of tweekers as your foremen! You know why Meth is the drug of choice, doesn't show on tests and you can work for days straight. The difference is the officer KNOWS full well of the dangers associated with the job, a rig worker is not privaliged to ALL the dangers of the job(ie his superiors and co-workers).
So, well Police may have an inherently dangerous job, they CHOSE that job and accepted ALL dangerous circumstances when they did, END of Story. A rig worker DOES NOT have the ability to be informed of ALL dangers on the job, a pipe fitter may sign up for fitting pipes, but no one' told him he has to dodge drill heads getting tossed around by meth heads!

Difference of chosing something dangerous and being put in a dangerous place are 2 different situations

Myself, I have logged, Mined, pipelined, Climbed steel ,Work The oilpatch And have been in the excavating business Where I have Worked around Major Gas pipelines And extreme high voltage lines Where If I made one mistake It would've meant The lives of my coworkers....

In many of these jobs,my life was in the hands of people I did not know and I was very wary of both their mental and physical conditions at times.

result of the intentional act of another person in the process of keeping your ungrateful *bleep* safe.

I never once said that I was not grateful for police officers that do their job competently.

But I have absolutely no...... respect or trust for incompetent ,arrogant, self centered, Know it all ,above the law cops.....

Neither do I, and I would hazard to guess that neither does KL3, however, your posts continue to show that you generalize and categorize ALL police officers as being in this group, where the reality is, while they do exists, they are a small minority.

I think the main difference is that riggers while sometimes faces with dangerous situation have a freedom of saying "Oh, screw that" and walking away or telling his employer to stuff it. While police officers don't really have a choice nor do they want that choice - they serve the public without asking for any type of "thank you". That's just what they do and do it well.

But you did NONE of those jobs for me. Nothing you did made my life safer or better.

I don't like cops any more than the next guy, but at least they TRY to make my everyday life better. Loggers, miners, oilrig workers, etc... do it for their family and themselves ($$)

I, too, have no respect for the very small percentage of incompetent police officers. The problem I have is, I can identify an incompetent police officer from an issue that I simply don't agree with, and you can't.

You're wrong on two counts.
1 - GD never says ALL cops are bad, he focuses on the bad ones. There's a huge difference.
2 - It may be a minority, but from out here it doesn't look like a small one.

Well, really he does. He keep talking about standard RCMP practices of lie, cover up and deny. He talks about how the RCMP condone corrupt behavior.

If he is blasting the entire RCMP and their practices, he is essentially blasting them all.

[grumpydigger]

Using this theory.

The system can never be corrected. Because too many people are running around trying to protect The bad cops......And the good cops are punished By their own system For not standing up for them

One police officer will never say anything to discredit the behavior of another..........so nothing will change

I don't get that from him. I get that the problems are at the top and result in the individual officers who actually do wrong being let off with little-to-no consequence. It doesn't mean each individual officer is corrupt, but the system in which they work is. If that's what he's saying, and I'm not counting out being proven wrong as I haven't read every post he's made, he's right. Maybe I'm reading my own beliefs into his posts. I dunno. I won't deny he focuses on the bad cops and shies away from good RCMP stories, but I don't think he means to say every officer is bad.

Really, have you read any of his posts? This is from the one right before yours:

One police officer will never say anything to discredit the behavior of another..........so nothing will change

If that's not generalizing as well as making some pretty wild assumptions, I don't know what is. All his posts are like this.
