FOP In A Hurry

[quote=Guest]

Interesting week...guess the FOP guys from Miami were in a hurry while "cruising" through our county. too bad they didn't stop long enough to ask how Matt was doing. you know, deputy Matt Bugg who was nearly killed in that crash last October and has had to endure numerous surgeries and being hospitalized. thank God the PBA came thru and started a fund to help out the family. no mention though, they were just interested in getting out of a ticket.

Nice to see you did your job and got a speeder stopped before he killed/injured himself or some innocent civilian, or even an LEO stopped on the side of the road (like Trooper Patrick Ambroise). Even better it was your agency that stopped him and extended a "professional courtesy", because after the UNPROFESSIONAL comments he has made about the Florida Highway Patrol to the media in South Florida I doubt we would have been able to do what you did. And this was the same jerk-off who was denigrating the Florida Highway Patrol about not being "professional"? I wonder how he would have liked it if he "screwed the pooch", Signal 4ed his car, and the FHP arrived to work it? LMFAO, he probably would have BEGGED your agency to work it! :cop:

P. S. Prayers for Matt, hope he's coming along.

Your the problem with FHP. Traffic tickets or be damed. And you have a quota, not written, but don't write a ticket for a full day, and your fuked. Your forgetting why he was pissed off. THE GUN TO THE FACE OF A UNIFORMED COP RIDING A MARKED UNIT IS THE PROBLEM. I have LEO friends across the nation thanks to the net. And not one has ever heard of such a thing OVER TRAFFIC. And your brass saying that was OK, shows just how out of touch with the real police world you clowns in brown are. I thank God clowns such as you are the minority on the patrol. now quick, tell us about the speeder you wrote up, I will tell you about the armed robberies I have caught in progress. Too many burglars to list though, sorry.[/quote:3bczvyi2]
Depends on whom you talk to, Slick. MORE than one LEO agrees a pursuit THAT long on a marked unit refusing to stop would warrant a 'gun to the face' until you establish identity and purpose (even the sheriff of Broward County said so in a newspaper interview; it printed nicely in the Broward Sun-Sentinel). Maybe you don't get too many Signal 10 BOLOs for police units where ever the hell you are, but they are more common in South Florida than you probably think (marked and unmarked); police impersonator BOLOs are 3 to 5 times a month here. The ONLY issue I have with what happened is when the officer was handcuffed and put in the patrol car after he was identified. I have LEO friends across the nation too, puke, and they aren't from the 'net'; they are friends I have made over the years by meeting them face to face in training and being deployed on details either in-state or out of state, and they have definately had their 'horror stories' of having to deal with idiots like the Miami officer but maybe here's the difference: most of the one's I've talked to are state troopers/highway patrol officers. Yours are probably goofball LEOs like yourself that meet each other on 'the net' (do you go off into little chat rooms too?). By the way, my wife is an LEO (over 20 years) and she will tell you your view is MUCH different than hers about how that incident played out. You're just another deputy/officer/agent that has no use for the FHP until you, your family, or your cousin's uncle's room mate from college gets stopped by us and then its "Ah, my brother-in-arms!" You're a two-faced shit-talker, and I'm used to dealing with your type. I'm not the problem with the FHP or anything else, but you don't sound very 'tacticaly sound' or have much of an 'officer safety' presence of mind if your gun wasn't out after pursuing a marked or unmarked unit for several minutes. You either don't have much of an interest in going home at the end of your shift, or perhaps you need some retraining? :?: Now go look over all those armed robbery-in-progress reports you claim to have been involved in, but only if you can find them buried under the mountain of disorderly intox, barking dog, loud noise, and 'quality of life' reports you had to take, too. I'll sit here and go through reports and look at pictures of people I helped put away in prison (not jail) while working on OCDETF and HIDTA task forces for armed drug trafficking, money laundering, and felon in possession of firearms that were TOT to BATF.

You obvisoulsy don't know Ortiz. Yes he hates Donna Watts. Down here, we all do too. He is very supportive of FHP. He put together the funeral procession for Patrick. He also personally visited his family. We are in support of him down here. We all do the same job just with different families.

Are you for real?
