Juicers in blue.."steroids made me a better cop"

[M-Rex]

Every time someone on here mentions anything about cops, you step in and start with the accusations. It's getting REALLY annoying.

Well...ain't that just too bad.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I was a cop for a while. Steroids are a whole 'nother ball of wax in reference to drug use. Personally, I think it's a sad thing to use steroids because the long termed side effects can be devastating. I DO, however, understand their use. Cheating ?? Maybe. I'm 6'5" & 275, fairly solid. Take a cop that's 5'10", 190-200, he (or she) wouldn't stand much of a chance against someone my size in a purely physical confrontation.

JS: I was merely making reference to MN's CCW laws and civilians and making the comparison to cops. What they may be doing is illegal. I'm sure a random whiz quiz will catch it, eventually. And they will be disciplined. Apparently, you have little clue as to civil servants and the requirements they must meet. They are very similar to what the military requires, ESPECIALLY LEOS. Then again, there's ALWAYS the 10% rule. 10% of any unit, squad, etc will always screw up the rest of the unit, give them a bad name, etc.(sometimes it's even a lesser percentage)

Does THR need a new rule?

Ok how about no more talking about cops unless they save a kitten from a tree or do something heroic.

Just because there might be some civil discourse regarding illegal steroid use by cops does not mean we are all cop bashing.

There are some serious issues being discussed here. Hows about attacking the argument instead of calling us idiots.

How's about you stop your late night searches for obscure anti-cop articles and then posting them here endlessly, for the sole purpose of generating anti-cop froth?

Just an idea.

"Legal and Political - Get informed on issues affecting the right to keep and bear arms and other civil rights."

If you don't like it no one's forcing you to read it.

Oh how nice.

God forbid when a cop does something wrong someone calls him on it. Cause ya know, they are all overworked underpaid civil servants and model outstanding citizens. One would never do anything wrong, they are the law after all

God forbid that anyone point out that all those overworked underpaid civil servants are actually NOT committing attrocities by the dozen, nor are they out raping, pillaging, and plundering.

What does it have to do with firearms? Conversely, what part of it is not simply to bash cops.....yet again?

Maybe because we already know they exist and don't warrent an article bringing it to light?

Cops are human, they do bad things on occasion. And when they do certian things it warrents mention. If you don't like them, don't read them otherwise say something useful rather then considering it cop bashing everytime someone says something you don't like about police officers.

Once again:

Once again...and I'll use small words to give you a leg up.

Maybe because it is in legal and political and not everything is gun related that gets posted?

Lets see-

WI Assembly vote on CCW bill
Where's Team America (Anti-Fur Nuts on Larry King)
Fallen soldiers shipped home as freight
al Qaeda losing support in Iraq
Immigration Hits Five-Year High, Report Says
Saddam protesting his trial
Need US state-by-state crime rankings
Activists urging firms not to hire illegal immigrants

Just a few from the front page of this forum with either nothing at all to do with guns or at best guns only have an underlying tone to a more direct story. How bout you go bother those threads with this "whats this have to do with guns" crapola. How bout all the BOB threads in stratagies and tactics? Not every single thing here is 100% directly about guns. When someone brings to light something bad a cop does it isn't bashing. It's showing people something that happened. I have yet to see a single post here blanketing cops as bad guys, only one here taking it that way is you with nothing even remotly of value to the topic.

Just a little PS- And all the drug or political party threads to boot have zip to do with guns.

"At some point, I had to be real with myself," he says. "I wanted to be big for personal reasons." Not for survival or self-protection. Not to be some kind of superhero. "If I really wanted to be a great officer, I would go to the shooting range every week. But I don't have time," he explains. "Actually, last time around, I barely qualified in my shooting. But I still didn't go to the range," Jimmy adds, then jokes, "I was too busy going to the gym."

***? Here we have an individual who is entrusted and charged with using lethal force to protect society at large if needed, and he can barely qualify on the range because he's too freaking busy at the gym?

 

[Lupinus]

Good catch Sind.

I'd rather know he can shoot the guy who has taken me hostage without hitting me then knowing he can tackle the guy after my lifeless body is on the ground with a bullet in my head.

Seems more and more cops care less and less about their guns and shooting skills, if it was up to me they would have a manditory thousand rounds a month of practice and much stricter qualifying. And if they fail they get stuck on a desk untill they can learn to hit the long side of a barn. I'd rather a fat cop that can shoot then a beefy cop that can't do squat.

It would have been nice if we could have discussed the article and its ramifications (if true).

Instead, we discussed what a terrible place THR is, how evil and/or stupid all the other posters are, and which other sites might benefit from this wonderful love-fest.

Closed.
