If I'm bleeding on the side of the road and a cop tries to help me I'm going to tell him to "FUCK OFF!".

This one really pissed me off.
Not as much as when those cops murdered 12 year old Tamir Rice in cold blood, and walked away scot free, but pretty damned pissed off.

To the shock of the Indian American community, a US judge has acquitted an Alabama police officer who slammed a visiting Indian grandfather to the ground while taking a walk outside his son’s home.
Federal Judge Madeline Hughes Haikala threw out the case against Madison Police officer Eric Parker, who faced up to 10 years in prison for using excessive force against 57-year-old Sureshbhai Patel down in February last year, Al.com reported.
Turning down the prosecutors’ plea for a third trial after two mistrials, Haikala late on Wednesday filed a 92-page opinion, saying: “The government has had two full and fair chances to obtain a conviction; it will not have another.”

I feel the same way about cops as I feel about cockroaches.
Would you want a cockroach crawling on you if you were injured?

Most people with this type of attitude sing a different tune when circumstance dictates their need for a cop.
But we know our TJ is way too smart for that.

The handful of times that I have called the cops, like when shit got stolen out of my carport and utility room, and the time when some fucking redneck beaned me with a Bud-lite bottle while I was riding my bike, the cops were as useful as tits on a boar hog.
They basically acted like they were annoyed that I had bothered them.
They filled out some paperwork which no doubt they shit caned as soon as they were out of my sight.
So fuckem.

Gee, Tom, sounds like you should have called a miracle worker instead of a cop.
If you really thought they were going to drop everything to find stuff stolen from your carport or the guy that beaned you with a beer bottle when they have real crimes to deal with (like, uh.... Gun violence, domestic abuse and maybe even murder) then you are really stupid.....
Oh wait..... I keep forgetting..... You are smarter than the rest of us.....
