Once again I have been out and I have seen it. But it was firefighters doing it, not cops.
How often do you think cops actually do any of the things you mentioned? I would say I hear about a cop doing something like that maybe once a month. Thats out of a million cops in this country. Thats like maybe 0.001% of cops who do that. Which only proves that no matter how useless a group of people are, some of them will do something good once in a great while.
All of your posts about cops are negative. I can guess that you had some sort of bad experience with a police officer that has left you skewed. You will never have a good thing to say about police officers and I can attribute that to bitterness. I have no doubt that if confronted you if act like you are on here you are getting very negative responses, and duly deserved. One other thing, do you really think there are a million cops in the US? One out of every 3 people is a police officer. That sounds like paranoia.
In Georgia cops pose as construction workers on the roads so they can peek in people's cars to see if they are on their cell phones. $150.00 fine if caught. I know in my state we have a lot of people posing as construction workers and some are even posing as Mayors but I don't think any of them are cops.

That would be more like 1 out of every 300, give or take. I could see there being 1,000,000 police officers in the US. 50 states, thousands of cities and towns, plus county officers, etc. It's not really that much of a stretch.

Duly noted. He still sounds like a paranoid individual.

You really don't know how many people there are in the US, do you? Which is what probably leads to your skewed vision of the importance of cops.
I have never seen a cop do any of those things, in my life. I have seen people rescued from fires and water, but those were firefighters doing the rescuing, not cops. The cops were there, but they are always just standing around being useless, or maybe unrolling yellow police tape.
Oh the all great police man is protecting me so well with all that yellow tape.
I have never seen you stop hitting your wife either....
(Yes, you are making that type of argument.)
Of course we now are the generation of I will do what I want when I want and your not telling me what to do. Guess that's why we see the conflict between some citizens with law enforcement. For those not aware, enforcement means to enforce written laws of the land and those who are lawfully given the responsability are called enforcers of the law. Those who arent prone to abide by said laws seem to get bent when caught by said enforcement and immediately cry foul ,with friends and family as their backup. Easy fix, obey the law!! All others will find living ain't going to be easy. Love it when you have the same posters with different names basically trying to argue their point. With that being said I will be moving on.

Edit: I do have a problem with this. I thought that the tickets were being given out for people actually driving (albeit slowly) through construction zones. But they are being given out to people who pull out their phone at a red light! The safety issue here is minimum and the cops should be focused on more serious things, such as people actually accelerating while on their phones, etc.
Well, my dh has been in an accident caused by someone going through a red light because they were too busy texting to see the light change. It was fortunate that no one was injured.
