Why do some officers seem to be in a bad mood?

Why do some officers seem to be in a bad mood?
Well let's see.
They deal primarily with low life scum bags :shock:
People will typically lie to get out of a speeding ticket :evil:
The same people will vote down a police budget increase yet complain when there never seems to be an officer around :twisted:
These same people put police under so many restrictions that they can barely do their real job because they are too busy filling out paper work on why they had to punch some perp in the face because
A. They were caught red handed beating a little old lady senseless for meth money,
B. The perp violently resisted arrest.
C. The perp threatened the officers and their families (With explicit details).
D. The perp then tried to spit on the officers and screamed profanities at them on the way to the station.
E. The perp is given a public defender who then tries to muddy the waters with false accusations against the arresting officers and any body else he can think of.
F. If the Meth head gets convicted he does not do any time because the same people who voted the budget down didn't think about the jails not having any room or funding to keep them open and full.
A happy jail is a full jail :D
How many of you have to go to work knowing that at any time your life could be on the line because you pulled someone over for a broken tail light or some nut job with a gun goes off the deep end?
You could be out to lunch one minute and have bullets breaking the glass over your head the next with no vest, helmet, or tactical gear.
Just you, your partner, and your weapon.

Yes, sometimes officers have a bad day and hurt your feelings :cry:
The next time you get pulled you over and the officer says something like, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" or "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Try being brutally honest, "Yes office I was going 75 in a 65 and I have no excuses.
You never know you just might just make their day and they might just make yours.

I'm sure on occasion that could be the case, but overall I think it's the stress of the job.

That has worked for me before, I was on a GS1100EZ had just kicked up to 90 to pass a car, got around it & started to slow down, cop coming around the bend caught me at 72 as I was slowing back down to 55. I just felt lucky he didnt catch me at 90 :twisted:

The one I've always wanted to try was to keep a box of doughnuts in the car , when asked "what's the hurry" hand over the doughnuts & say "Just wanted to get these to you while they're still fresh"

No, I'm the Oregon tweaker, he's a Californicator :D
He had bullets flying at him twice that same week and he's in a fairly safe area.
Then again your either SWAT or your not.
I don't know how many times he has been shot at in his career because he usually does not talk about it.
All I know is that when you hear that sound of a bullet going by, it can make you reassess your career choice :?

Shot at twice in one week I'd assume he cant count that high if he keeps going back for more :? :D

Sounds like an adrenaline junky just of another sort

Yeah, he also rides dirt bikes (He's fast) and he races with the big boys (AMA Pro):

Oh yeah, he has a Masters degree so I'm fairly certain he can count.
Then again I never asked him to prove it :lol:
