It's really sad that the original poster has asked to keep his thread cop bashing free but a bunch of fools are not respecting that. You all must be such nice people.

In the OP, the OP takes a shot at "police haters" and tone is of general anger and hatred towards anyone who dare not just roll over and expose your belly to someone who acquired a badge. If you want to keep a thread bash free, the first order of business would be to keep the original post on the strict topic of "good things cops do" without adding all the other stuff about haters and whatnut.
Why not just keep it simple and say this is a feel good thread about cops? Why would that have been so hard if that's the direction you wanted to keep the thread in?
maybe he's sick of reading all the angry posts here and couldnt help himself. Kind of like the majority of folks here cant stop themselves from cop bashing. Give the guy a break, perhaps he's tired. In case you didnt notice it's not an easy job.

But there are two ways you can approach it. One is be combative and get in the face of the bashers, the other is to come in with a happy and respectful tone. If you're happy and respectful and start a "feel good" post i don't think people would have as much of a problem keeping on topic and keeping it as a feel good thread.
I thought his initial post sounded fine. Bottom line, the cop haters can't control themselves.
I'm not saying the original post isn't "fine" but its not the post you wanna make if you're looking for a "Feel good" positive vibe thread, its more of a post that would start a debate about good cop vs bad cop.
Today, I will not answer the radio call that your boyfriend has come home drunk and is beating you again.
Today, I will not answer the radio call that your 16 year old daughter, who is very responsible, is four hours late coming home from school.
Today, I will not answer the radio call that your store has been robbed or your house has been burglarized.
Today, I will not stop a drunk driver from killing someone. I will not catch a rapist or a murderer or a car thief.
Today, I will not answer the radio call that a man has a gun or tried to abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has been in a terrible accident.
Today, I will not save your child that you locked in a car or the child you were too busy to watch who went outside and fell into the swimming pool, but that I revived.
Today I will not arrest you for your harmless pot.. although you just burned down the apartment building trying to make honey oil out of it
No, today I will not do that.
Why?
Today, I was suspended from duty for doing my job, because the media, liberals, a community organizer, a lawyer who formally represented terrorists and is the US attorney general and a mayor who ran on an anti-police agenda, who are all advised by a drug dealer, liar and income tax cheat. AND, all who know nothing about Policing, have vilified my profession.
Because ----
Today, I was killed by a drunk driver while I was helping push a disabled car off the highway.
Today, I was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop to simply tell someone that they had a taillight out.
Today, I was killed in a traffic accident rushing to help a citizen.
Today, I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a known drug dealer.
Today, I was killed by a man when I came by to do a welfare check because his family was too busy.
Today, I was killed trying to stop a bank robbery or a grocery store robbery.
Today I was killed doing my job.
A chaplain and an officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a wife or husband or a child that their son or daughter or husband or wife or father or mother won't be coming home today.
The flags at many police stations were flown at half-mast today but most people won't know why.
There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a twenty-one-gun salute will be given, and taps and bagpipes will be played as I am laid to rest.
My name will be put on a plaque, on a wall, in a building, in a city somewhere.
A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a bookcase in a home somewhere and a family will mourn.
There will be no cries for justice.
There will be no riots in the streets.
There will be no officers marching, screaming 'no justice, no peace.'
No citizens will scream that something must be done.
No windows will be smashed, no cars burned, no stones thrown, no names called.
Even CD posters wont give it a rest
Someone crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I was cared about.
I was a police officer
Its a new month... the clock has started.. power on...

Unfortunately, this takes place on about every thread. The OP does not get to pick and choose who posts on their thread or what they say. So . . to start out with a series of directions is going to get you disappointed every time on an internet forum.
