I have three friends who are cops. One for Homeland Security, one for Michigan State Police, one for City of Detroit. Not ONE of them cares about the difference in what you are describing. I have had this discussion with them.

They all see it as a broken law is a broken law. You're wrong. They're right. Law is on their side.

Tough crowd....

so what's an illegal gotta do to get a little slack in our new Mexican Hunting environment of today? Save the pope? Rescue a bus load of diseased starving children? Solve the economic problems of the nation?

The dude got a rapist cop off the street. I personally consider that significant enough to cut him some slack. There are plenty of other Mexicans you guys can herd back to Mexico.

Write your Congressman and get a "Good Samaritan" Immigration exemption passed.

No. He's being deported because he is in this country illegally.

The illegal dude said :

if there is one thing that will remain true: You cant argue about cops with people who have them in their family or are friends with them. It sucks but thats just how it is. If someones dad is a cop they will defend cops no matter what, they can do no wrong in their eyes.

Yes, we've heard that. But it is interesting because, what if the guy had required witness protection until the other dude was convicted? Do we keep him here in order to send a rapist to prison, or ship him back to Mexico because he broke the law?

And I suppose Option #3 would be, use him for what we need, then discard him like a used Starbucks cup down in Juarez.

Funny cuz I have many cops in my family ranging from SWAT to DEA to US Marshals. They all know how I feel. :)

I am not defending them champ. I am telling you what actual police/law enforcement think.

I do not care for cops. I tend to agree with Amp in regards to a lot of them have a certain mentality of entitlement, arrogance, whatever. I do not agree with everything my friends say. To them I am much too liberal, and I enjoy taking great liberty in always busting their balls about goose stepping down Michigan Ave.

Funny that you make that ASSumption you know me/my politics based on a few message board replies. Heh. GFY.

ok, i was just speaking from my own experience. I guess your experience differs, but theres always a reason for blind support of police, and its usually family members, I guess I shouldve phrased that differently.

I wasnt even talking about you or to you I was just making a general comment in a thread about cops.

Fair enough fine sire.

On a side note, nice to see you back posting more on GFY recently. :thumbsup

It's all good man... I've learned the hard way not to blindly trust anyone. I used to support the police because of my family. Until I saw the outrageous stuff I had only read about. After the police robbed me, all those stories in the news took on a whole different level of real for me.

Well at least you know what im talking about. I have never had a good experience with cops either. I won a court case against one for basically assaulting me and throwing me in jail for nothing, he beat my head into hood and held it on hot carhood and wouldnt let me up etc...the judge threw it out of court after hearing my testimony. Trust is earned, and way I see it, I have more reasons not to trust than I do to trust. So we in agreement there.

yeah I used to trust cops til I moved to the south, and had a couple really bad experiences. I won't go into it here, but throw all your rights out the window, down here they do what they want. It still amazes me.
