What do you do for a living?

[Vassili Zaitzev]

Well, I'm a part time stock clerk at my towns own supermarket, not a chain like Big Y or Wal-Mart. It's actually a pretty nice job considering I'm also a senior in high school.

B-17- Thats pretty cool your dad's a cop.

That's strange that you Americans find being a cop such a respectful and noble career. I'm not saying it isn't, but I have three friends that are police officers and to them it's just a job. They love beating the scum and getting paid for it...it does society wonders - shame there's not enough of my friends in the police.

here we call cops 'Pigs'
Australians just dont like authority

It depends who you talk to.

There are plenty of people in certain parts of America's society that think police are "Pigs"...

 

[Njaco]

Plan, I constantly work with the police and there are a few.... a few...that are as you described. But most want to help people and really try from their heart. Its the same media take as on the military.

 

[plan_D]

They call police here 'pigs' too. But it's just a joke now, all the people who call them 'pigs' seriously are complete scum and should be taken outside and shot.

Don't get me wrong, Njaco, my friends are extremely helpful and do their job well [one found a drug farm in someone's attic the other week when they were arresting the bloke for something else - he found it by smell ! Not like he used to smoke it or anythin' ... ]. But in the end they just love beating down on the scum because the justice courts won't do it.

 

[Njaco]

Welllll, I'm not going to say it doesn't happen to those who deserve it (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

I'm in a high-risk profession: self-employed author and speaker!
Been lurking here quite awhile and appreciate the depth of knowledge you folks possess.

Barrett, go to the Basic section and give yourself a proper introduction.

Well, my grandfather was a police officer in Hartford, Connecticut, who became chief of police for a few years, that's where my respect comes from, he's a pretty cool guy. That, and I also respect anybody that steps into the line of fire to uphold the law, that includes the military too.

Ouch. Aren't we a fun loving bunch.

 

[B-17engineer]

My dad like I said is a cop and hope to follow in his footsteps

 

[Matt308]

And like I said, B. You go man. We need more men like you in this nation.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks

 

[Matt308]

You'll look back and think about these conversations as you get older. Just remember that your conviction is your character. No person can take that away from you. You may wish to revise your statement based upon youthful discretion, but you are who you are. And thankyou.

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes. Very Very True. I hope to make myself a thrid generation cop in my family. My Grandpa was one. Also served in the Navy. My dad and 5 of 6 uncles are.

 

[Matt308]

Keep your nose clean.

 

[B-17engineer]

I will.

I've had many different jobs but for the last ten years I've been restoring cars while working for ABM Restorations. I enjoy this website immensely. It's nice to be able to get on a site without having to put up with juvenile cursing and what not.
