APD LT says you should turn in your guns because someone could steal them.

Any chance the Lt. is on our side and forced to spout the company line? I use the same strategy with my wife....if I screw something up bad enough (especially in public), she won't make me do it again.

My wife accused me of that before also.

Because political appointee shill chiefs are not the same as the guys who sacrifice allot being on the beat. Don't get me wrong I'm not at all a fan of how militarized our police have become but there are still plenty of guys out there who know and understand our constitution. Just check out Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association | CSPOA - Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association . Sorry bro we really don't like people who paint with such broad brush strokes.

^This. Brown-nosers? This forum? I think not. There are plenty of us here, however, that have lots of friends in LE, and have seen first hand how there are a lot of good people in LE, that understand the same things, think the same things, and are just trying to do their part to help improve things in their communities and help people in need. There are always bad apples, always corrupt leadership, and it's ultimately true about all professions, but the whole "us vs them" mentality gets a bit ridiculous. LE are civilians too, for those that might forget that.

I call that a bunch of horse hockey Most of those beating it out on the force got into criminal justice cause they're too stupid to get a degree in anything else. And except for pounding the pavement in a big-ass SUV they don't do a damn thing for their community. Except perhaps get paid to direct traffic for the local churches on Sunday morning. Thanks a lot. And as for a few bad apples, I think we have to hold law enforcers to a higher standard than the average Joe. The top SOB, AG Holder is such a fine example.

Wow. Where did you do time?

Now I am convinced you are trolling. I know you.

Better you than me - an' looks like he's made his last post here....no loss!

Wow...

I would hope the citizens of the City of Austin will complain about this moron. It does not good for someone who lives outside the city to complain. The politicians know we cannot vote for Mayor and City Council.

Good night Oldguy. It's been nice knowing you, NOT!

I'm sure there were a lot of German soldiers that just loved their country and wanted to do good back in the late 1930's, too. That's an extreme example, but there's got to be a point where good people need to flat out refuse to work for the corrupt leadership. I understand that you don't really have control over who your boss is, but you don't have to work there either. I've definitely quit jobs over "philosophical differences" before

BTW it's only the corrupt leadership that forget LE are civilians, too.
