How do you view cops?

[DRorganic]

i do not know i try to stay away from any one who draws the police .and who are always doing stupid stuff. but i was raided a about 5 months ago and all they did was take my equipment. after talking to the undercover and he heard my story how i need my meds and he new the medical problems and knew it was a small personal grow for medical reasons.
he seamed sympathetic. he Evan left a few lights all my light bulbs. a packed bowl with sourdog. and my genetics. and i live in a commonwealth state very hard time if convicted.
the police was all sitting around while i was sitting there and they was bringing out my stuff and most was talking that in 5 or so years it will be legal for medical use. it was the younger police that where acting like ass holes. but i think the older guy that was in charge was all right to me . and i am glad i did not even get arrested he said since i was on so much medication that i was not getting locked up. and i haven't heard from them. so it just one story of maybe what obama was saying was right do not lock up non violent medical merjuiana smokers. and then i heard the states are going through hard times and decided it was not worth the money to prosecute. i do not know but mybe things are changing in regards to our sacred plant.

Cops in our podunk neck of the woods arent that bad they just dont seem to have a high enough suicide rate. Mostly hit or miss seem to find all the dickheads when i drink and drive and shit. but thats expected. Other than that the police dont have the funding to even run special drug taskforces or any thing like that. I havent ever figured why anyone would want to b one but with out assholes were would the world b.

gotta respect people who put their lives on the line for public safety...

gotta respect people who put their lives on the line for public safety...

i have had the experience of being in countries that have no law enforcement for periods of time. i have met asshole cops here in the states. i wouldnt trade it for the world. all of our lives are better because of the men and women who are willing to put thier lives on the line for people like me.
if we could somehow convince ourselves to direct our anger at the people who make the laws instead of the people who are tasked with enforcing these laws, we could actually get some laws changed.
whats funny, or ironic at the least, is the same cops who are reading this thread would put themselves in between a bullet and the people writing what pieces of shit they are. that is a person or persons who deserve respect and thanks for what they do everyday. just like our military and our firefighters etc.
let the nasty pms, negative rep points and "subrob is a sellout pussy" posts begin....just like last time! haha

well said subrob

lots of gang activity in my hood and I've had to call the police on a number of occasions for assistance, I really appreciate that someone ~ with a gun ~ is there to back me up.

The cops don't make the laws, they just enforce them. Keep in mind they will do whatever they need to do to catch someone breaking the law including lie and manipulate. Too many laid back stoners fall for the "is there any more weed in the house, don't worry if you tell me I'll be fair with you". Then the laid back stoner thinks he's going to get a break and shows the heat the qp in the bedroom. Of course the cop immediately arrests the stoner who whines "I thought you were going to be fair"

I know it sounds simple stupid, but keep in mind that a cops primary objective is to catch individuals breaking the law and they will use whatever methods available. In terms of MJ use, never give into them thinking they are going to be fair, reasonable or give you a break.

 

[Green Kween]

cant stand em, they think because they 'enforce' the law that they're above the law. its ridiculous, so far have not met any that seem ok

 

[kill-9]

90% of the cops are just doing their job. 10% fuck it up, and the other 90% dont reign them in, so there's no accountability, thus they're all dicks.

Everytime some dumbass cop does some retarded shit, its "administrative leave with pay". Ridiculous.

[JoJoDancer]

Scanners, binoculars, lookouts and hidden cameras are the way to view em.

 

[IGROWMYOWN]

cops hate them... the best is when i used to teach/train Brazilian jiu-jitsu (im a brown belt) at least 3 cops per class and a few chp in there as well. So fun to make those guys tap cant believe how good it makes you feel...although i will say this the undercover gang unit guys that look like gangmembers themselves are cool as shit I've been to their partys, some of the shit they tell me you wouldnt believe and they act nothing like your average beat cop. But yeah your average LAPD or sheriff is a dickhead plain and simple. sorry bro but giving a no seat belt ticket or 2mph or the limit ticket is dickhead move i've had both. An added bonus i've never had a cop show up when i need them, I've been stabbed at night club with undercover cops in the spot then they leave 5min before 2 bouncers are dead and i get stabbed . Fvck em

Depends on where you live, and the conditions there...

If marijuana was completly legal.. I would have nothing against cops.. If it was legal to grow your own can you amagine how chill it would be to call the cops and tell them someone stole your weed plants and you want to find out who did it? I had a shitload of plants in my backyard all started in Feb indoors and put outside in May. They were simply beautiful and some punk ass people who I must of known cause I was stupid and didn't keep my mouth shut about my plants. I would have loved to get the people who did that to me locked up. I was going to pay for a trip to the Cannabis Cup with the money I made off of those plants and my plans got completly SCREWED!

eh, there still pricks. And if weed was completly legal, I doubt you'd have much of a theft problem.

 

[idea]

i've never had any serious interactions with the filth because i take steps to be outwardly boring.

but there are no good cops in the us. the socalled good cops can only be good in my book if they immeditaly turn in their brothers who lie on the witness stand, brutalize suspects, cheat, and steal. that almost never happens and when it does the good cop is usually forced to leave the law enforcement business by his 'comrades'.

when i was younger and more naive i used to think that most cops were good and a few bad apples ruined the barrel. now that i have been around the block a few times i realize that anyone who wants to be a pig and wants to help support this terrorist murdering political/economic/legal system is either delusional, misguided or flat-out evil.

either way they are scum and i quietly give a silent attaboy to whoever manages to kill one or two of them. sad but true but all pigs and their supporters are just like the redcoats we kicked out when the country was founded.

and if you think that the filth are out of control now, wait until the empire's wars are over (if ever) and all of those torturing combat vets get cushy government/welfare pig jobs. there will be an upsurge in police brutality and torture, just like after vietnam in the late 70s and early to mid 80s.

not saying all combat vets are evil or whatever by a long shot, but some are and those types will become cops and/or robbers.

 

[K Double O]

Citizens On Patrol.... Cops.... Pigs... Dicks....

Its like this. I'm sure there are a lot of good cops out there... I've have yet to MEET any... I do not care to much for the police.... I have yet to need them, and I doubt I will...

Truth be told over half of the our (USA) federal prison system is comprised of NON-VIOLENT DRUG OFFENDERS.....

Makes you wonder??? Why???


F.Y.I.

Federal prisons were estimated to hold 179,204 sentenced inmates as of Sept. 30, 2007. Of these, 15,647 were incarcerated for violent offenses, including 2,915 for homicide, 8,966 for robbery, and 3,939 for other violent crimes. In addition, 10,345 inmates were serving time for property crimes, including 504 for burglary, 7,834 for fraud, and 2,006 for other property offenses. A total of 95,446 were incarcerated for drug offenses. Also, 56,237 were incarcerated for public-order offenses, including 19,528 for immigration offenses and 24,435 for weapons offenses.

According to the American Corrections Association, the average daily cost per state prison inmate per day in the US is $67.55. State prisons held 253,300 inmates for drug offenses in 2005. That means states spent approximately $17,110,415 per day to imprison drug offenders, or $6,245,301,475 per year.

"The United States has the highest prison population rate in the world, some 738 per 100,000 of the national population, followed by Russia (611), St Kitts & Nevis (547), U.S. Virgin Is. (521), Turkmenistan (c.489), Belize (487), Cuba (c.487), Palau (478), British Virgin Is. (464), Bermuda (463), Bahamas (462), Cayman Is. (453), American Samoa (446), Belarus (426) and Dominica (419).
"However, more than three fifths of countries (61%) have rates below 150 per 100,000. (The rate in England and Wales - 148 per 100,000 of the national population - is above the mid-point in the World List.)"

As of June 30, 2007, the incarceration rate in state or federal prison or jail for men was 1,406 per 100,000 residents, for women 136 per 100,000 residents. The rate for white men was 773 per 100,000, for black men 4,618 per 100,000, for Hispanic men 1,747 per 100,000.

"Of the 2.3 million inmates in custody, 2.1 million were men and 208,300 were women (table 9). Black males represented the largest percentage (35.4%) of inmates held in custody, followed by white males (32.9%) and Hispanic males (17.9%).
"Over a third (33.8%) of the total male custody population was ages 20 to 29 (appendix table 10). The largest percentage of black (35.5%) and Hispanic (39.9%) males held in custody were ages 20 to 29. White males ages 35 to 44 accounted for the largest percentage (30.1%) of the white male custody population.
"The largest percentage (35.9%) of the female custody population was ages 30 to 39. Over a third of white females (35.9%) were ages 30 and 39. The largest percentage (36.8%) of Hispanic females in custody was ages 20 to 29."



"More than 9.25 million people are held in penal institutions throughout the world, mostly as pre-trial detainees (remand prisoners) or as sentenced prisoners. Almost half of these are in the United States (2.19m), China (1.55m plus pretrial detainees and prisoners in 'administrative detention') or Russia (0.87m)." According to the US Census Bureau, the population of the US represents 4.6% of the world's total population (291,450,886 out of a total 6,303,683,217).

"Marijuana appears to be readily available to almost all 12th graders; in 2005 86% reported that they think it would be 'very easy' or 'fairly easy' for them to get it -- almost twice the number who reported ever having used it (45%).
"After marijuana, 12th-grade students indicated that amphetamines are among the easiest drugs to obtain (51%)."

Although people may think that the Drug War targets drug smugglers and 'King Pins,' in 2007, 47.4 percent of the 1,841,182 total arrests for drug abuse violations were for marijuana -- a total of 872,720. Of those, 775,137 people were arrested for marijuana possession alone. By contrast in 2000 a total of 734,497 Americans were arrested for marijuana offenses, of which 646,042 were for possession alone.

Simply put... Fuck the law.

All jokes aside... We live in a sad, sad, sad, world... Especially here in the US... Our judicial systems are ruined... They can never be fixed...

Racism, Bigotry, Hatred.... Seem to be job requirements of our Law Enforcers...

I wouldn't piss on a cop if he/she was on fire.... And yeah I know that my views are counter productive...

Fuck it...

What do you think they would do to me or you??? Especially if they busted us growing???

There is only one thing worse than being imprisoned.....

There are cops in Berlin you don´t want to meet, trust me!

This happened on a demo in Berlin on last saturday:

Sure not all cops are the same, but they tend to screen (cover) each other.

BTW the man in the blue shirt is asking for the id number of the police man, well it seems they don´t like it

Peace

I cannot portray my hate towards police.

I had just got held up for my bmx by about 15 afghans, as one of the motherfu**ers were riding off, i saw a meat wagon at the lights, i ran up to the passenger side and a lady officer put the window down, i said "please help me, i just got robbed for my bike!" ..the driver just started laughing and said "get off the road before we do you for jaywalking son", i lost it. I started swearing at them, kickin their van, the dick just put his blue lights on (no siren) and he got out the van, and then i ran.

...

One night im sitting in the living room with my mum, and i go to close the patio door, i see a sillhouette of someone standing in my garden, the person starts getting closer and i just managed to see that he was wearing a suit. I just slammed the door closed and my mum rang the police. They said "stay put, lock your doors and windows, someone is on their way"...what happened? NOTHING.

...

Obviously not forgetting the nights out and stuff. Trying to control your drunken friend and feds come bust you up. Not the one. I hate police so much, my friend became a fed, i don't let him round anymore, he understands.

What i started to see about my friend when he became a pig, his attitude towards things changed..

Basically what im trying to say is, pigs tend to develop a certain mentality, you could have a friend which was really close to you, and once they become a fed...they change, you can't really avoid it. You become one of them.

f**k the police!
