Its gotta be the most thankless damned job I have ever seen, but they are the 1st ones we call when shits hitting the fan!
Yep, well said weggie, definitely a thankless job. It's definitely a bit different when a member of the family is a cop.
Candy-Of course there's some major asswipe cops out there who are on a power trip, I've met one or two myself but as a whole I think they are a good group who've chosen a career path to really want to help people.It sure isn't to get rich. Maybe after a while they start getting tired of people being abusive to them. I don't think there's a whole lot of love between the cops and people in the poorer neighborhoods. It almost seems like it's become an us against them attitude amongst them?
PJ-Nevada ranchers? HUH? This article is about second graders protesting theFeruson decision.
My whole point is I think second graders(what is that? 7-8yrs old?) are just way too young, maybe their PARENTS might want to start educating them or making them aware of certain social issues but it sure as hell isn't up to a teacher in the classroom. I've had many teachers who've tried to pawn there beliefs/opinions off on the class and I along with others thought the teacher a major jerk for trying to do so.
