Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

If it was, major props to him for running in and trying to help an officer in trouble. These officers are out there to protect our lives and some of us don't even give a damn about them. Next time you see a police officer say hello to him or wave at him, it's the least you can do. These guys put their lives on the line to make our life better and they are real heros.
I know how so many people hate the 'po-po' and it really pissed me off when my ex-gf, just because her friend was a victim of racism, would say, "I hate all police officers. They're all corrupt." Sure, there's some bad apples out there, but nobody should ever generalize that all police officers are corrupt. They're human beings that are paid to protect citizens, and people are taking it for granted because they end up getting speeding tickets. Of course, some people forget that speeding do end up killing people on occasion, and a ticket is a nice stern reminder not to speed. I think that's the end of my rant.

Well keep in mind not all cops are gonna be viewed as heroes. Sure, you can say we take em for granted, but seriously, there are cops that are racist. I'm sure being a cop to them gives them all the more reason to be racist, because they can sneak in an extra punch or whatever "legally." I'm not saying all cops are like that, but there are alot of crooked cops. Rodney King beating for instance. The beating of that black schoolteacher in New Orleans for instance.
And don't forget about Mike's (The G.O.A.T) dad being shot and killed by a cop for no particular reason. If my dad had been shot and killed by a cop, I'm definately not gonna make a post like Riot did.

I wanna see a 3 way battle. Ron Artest, Ben Wallace, and that guy who threw a cup at Ron. Heck, throw in Steve Bartman too.

90% of all cops aren't crooked. The ones that are aren't true police officers and they should be reported. But you really shouldn't take the good ones for granted. Those guys protect and serve everyone, whether you are black or white.
