Irresponsible behavior by LEO?

[KelVarnson]

Oh, perish the thought. What could have possibly given you the idea that anyone here thought you were unreasonably obsessed about this?

Oh, do not fret. What could have possibly given you the idea that anyone here is directing sarcasm as you about this? Now... if sarcasm was limmited by statute in your state to LEOs, that might be another thing. Or perhaps not.

Wow, tag-team elitism. Awesome. You guys really stick together, don'tcha?

"To Protect and Annoy"

(with apologies to Click and Jesse, and now Glenn)

Then, a day or two later, post the same story about a "LEO at the gym." I have a feeling the threads would be quite different.

Ooh, ooh, my turn for the sarcasm. Here goes:

"Ya think?"

Kel,

Your comment about elitism is not funny but is certainly ludicrous in my opinion. This is a forum where folks discuss things. When you discuss things, you often go back to what someone else has said as a reference. No tag teams involved, my ideas come from me alone as far as this forum goes.

The officer if all was as described was wrong. My 28 years as an LEO, and 14 years as a firearms instructor, only convinces me of how wrong he was to have done so. Is that elitism in your eyes? Well, if that makes you think that I believe myself part of an elite, I will just have to go on appearing that way IN YOUR EYES because I will keep on thinking it was foolish and very irresponsible of him to do what he reportedly did if it was not a sting operation. Just so you know, there is nothing elitist in that on my part, there is a drilled in sense of responsibility. Sure we can all screw up from time to time, I have myself more than one. Yet just because it is just a rare occurrence, or even a one time thing, does not suddenly make an irresponsible act any closer to being an act demonstrating responsibility.

All the best,
Glenn B

Kelvarnson - I suggest you go back and take another look at your posts about the baton. I am not a LEO, never was, never will be, but I, too, thought you were obsessing over something really insignificant. Then you took it way too personally and jacked the level up to a notch where this thread never should have gone.

Just my .02 worth.

Glenn, my comments about elitism were not directed at you, they were directed at Erik and at Group9, for their deliberately inflammatory remarks. I apologize that this was not clear to you. I was writing my post as you posted yours. FWIW I agree with you.
