Are you a Cop or a Poser?

[Unregistered]

Were all posers!! In one way or another, to people we know and don't know. You have to be a wee-bit of a poser, to do this job. You draw down on somebody, you want that person to really believe you will shoot them but all along in your head it's oh shit this is really happening. You go to a domestic, your a poser, cause your saying, you've been in there shoes, just so you can get crap settle down. Your a poser when you write traffic tickets for things you do almost daily. Yes you need to know the law, you also have to be a actor too. Not everything is in black-n-white and not every contact with someone should involve a arrest. If all your after is the stat game, to get noticed by those higher up the food chain. They you my friend are the biggest poser. A real cop isn't just about arrest, tickets and how pretty do I make this uniform look or how many phone numbers you go home with at the end of your shift. Lots of things go into making one, your so-called real cop.

You are a real cop. Protecting and serving. Thank you. There are fewer and fewer of you at PCSO and probably all over. Because of assholes like BadBoyBadboy citizens are angry, resentful, and on their guard with every encounter. It's a 50/50 chance a citizen will get this asshole, or you, when they call. That sucks. But sometimes karma knocks and BadBoyBadBoy threatens to kick in the wrong door, the back door because that's the kind of scum he is, figuring he won't be watched, then he lectures the wrong citizen about "lawful orders", when all the while, citizen knowing his or her rights, knows he is the one disobeying the laws, lying through his teeth. She or he keeps quiet, until the sergeant walks in and ejects BadBoyBadBoy so he can try to be a hero somewhere else. Over.

You just described PCSO as a whole!!! Nice job buddy but at least your one of the honest ones!!!! Really,you claim some people you intended to let go but then they argue and question you!!!!!Seriously you speed faster then the public does and damn your whole fleet of cars needs to go into the maintence dept because none of your blinkers work. So carry on!!!! you have a quota to meet right after you pull out of Dunkin Donuts!!!!

Yeah, right after they pull out of a Dunkin Donuts in front of a guy on a motorcycle ruining his life and costing the taxpayers $16,000,000. But don't worry, the deputy got a ticket for failure to yield so he was punished sufficiently.

It's a good thing the deputy did not rough up the guy a bit in retaliation for spitting on him, because Bob would have fired him. Permanent disability of the victim due to an accident caused by the deputy, that's not too bad, just a failure to yield ticket.

Seriously, only an idiot would argue with a cop during a traffic stop. You can get more with honey than vinegar. Being obnoxious or rude or belligerent during a traffic stop will accomplish nothing positive. Absolutely nothing. It's a losing battle. People that yell and scream at cops during a traffic stop have a screw lose. There is something wrong with them (mentally).

I wonder if it was Deputy Hull that started this thread calling everybody else "posers" if they don't crack some heads.

This is a question many cops can’t honestly answer. Are you a cop or are you pretending to be a cop? #TheDeparted. It’s an honest question. I would say most cops are posers most of the time. Some posers rise to the occasion when something really bad happens, and that is a wonderful thing. But I think a lot of cops, at PCSO since I work here, are posers. There are a few easy ways to determine if you are a cop or a poser.

1. When a hot call comes out do you volunteer to go even though you are the furthest away?

2. When a cop has been attacked by a criminal do you have a natural desire to smash the criminal’s face?

3. When someone flees from you are you locked in the zone on how catch them regardless of how or why they fled?

4. When you come across that special person who is begging you to beat their ass do you quickly lower your discretion threshold and arrest them for possession of a suspended DL?

If you answered no to any of these you are treading on poser status. If you answered no to them all you are a total poser and probably arrest as few people as possible and only when you must. If you answered yes to all you are in the right job.

Unfortunately our agency, like most agencies, have posers in cop spots, FTO spots and supervisor spots. It’s a sad state of affairs.

Stop being a poser. You are going to get yourself or someone else killed or hurt because you can’t accept you picked the wrong job.

P.S.

Posers stand out like a sore thumb tonteal cops. And yes we make fun of you constantly.

If you answered no to all then your name might be Crazy Mark Cross.

So according to you people should like having their money stolen by road piracy? Stealing money from people to "keep them safe" is absurd. If they don't bow down and kiss your asses as they are robbed by you they have more money stolen from them? And you wonder why public opinion of police is at an all time low?

Please describe an act of theft by a deputy. Please provide a specific example.

Provide respect to all people. It's a two way street.

"Please describe an act of theft by a deputy. Please provide a specific example."

Agent of the county (deputy) pulls a person over for having a brake light out. A brake light filament is an item that naturally breaks and requires periodic replacement. The agent of the county then issues a citation or theft certificate to steal funds from the citizen for the naturally occurring broken bulb filament in an amount 50 times higher than the cost of the broken part. The person is then extorted under threat of force and violence (citation issued, if the person ignores it their license is suspended, if they drive on the suspended license they will be again detained, arrested and if they object force, even possibly deadly force may be used). The citizen has their money taken from them and they are not one single but safer.

The deputy is the one initiating the unwanted contact. There is no two way street. In most other scenarios, if a person is accosted by someone unpleasant, rude, trying to steal from them or doing anything else that the citizen is not wanting to occur, the citizen has the right to leave and move to a safe space. In the interaction with a deputy, the person will have violence and possibly death inflicted upon them if they attempt to leave to end the unpleasant contact with the deputy that they did not initiate or consent to.
