    bacon wrote on July 12, 2008 11:07 AM: Bud and Summerlin Res, please keep posting. You are doing a wonderful job of proving my point, pigs.


    Bud wrote on July 12, 2008 04:17 AM: you know, if you read what this guy Joe said about Corrections Officers July 11, 2008 and you were a Corrections Officer, I think you might have got a bit pissed off also. I don't bash cop's. CO's and PO's have their share of fools and other job's also, but to put them all down is wrong. This big kick about how dangereous your job is, is a bit strange to me...do you go around cutting down Attorneys, Doctors, 21 dealers, because you don't think their job's are as dangereous as yours? for one I don't want a dangerous job and I know what Po's do and don't want to be one. For your comment, saying "name one thing in my comments that wasn't true"...well CO's do carry guns, I carried one for two years on trans, and we carry them at the prison also. Another, is you can't be a CO if your convicted of domestic battery. Also I never said anything about fighting...you did...and your comment of " I'd wipe the floor with you" and your a cop? anyways I fight in gyms,so next week is fine for me, or the next, just bring your cop ID and I'll bring mine and we can have a PO vs CO match. I think the statement of " PO's are not listed in the top 10 most dangerous jobs" pretty much sums it up Joe about your macho...dangerous job thing...drop it and have another donut, did you eat paint chips when you were a kid? let me know when your ready for the gym, you glorified baby catcher, and oh yes. Bacon, you suck also...hahahaha

    Cops do not kill women and children.
    Cops don not abuse their power and authority.
    Cops are not perverts raping children.
    Cops are not anti-community.
    There is something seriously wrong with you ... I strongly suggest therapy.


    joe wrote on July 11, 2008 05:26 PM: Wow Bud,

    If you are a CO, I feel sorry for your co-workers and trustees. You couldn't make it 5 minutes in the streets, so stop your "let's fight about it" attitude because I'd wipe the floor with you. Name one thing in my comments that wasn't true and I'll take back everything I said. Wow, 5 CO's stabbed in 2 years? Though that really is terrible, it doesn't even come close to the number of PO's that end up stabbed, shot, injured, or even killed in a 2 year period in most major cities. Though PO's are not listed in the top 10 most dangerous jobs, CO's fall WELL below PO's for the most dangerous jobs. So your dumb little tirade just proved my point even more. Bud, you obviously don't have the smarts to survive the streets and I doubt you have the physical capabilities to do so either. You also failed to read the last portion of my comments where I gave praise to CO's, but the fact still remains that they aren't held to the same standards as PO's. It's obvious that your failure to make it as a PO still bothers you, but don't make the CO's look even worse by your idiotic statements.


    bacon wrote on July 11, 2008 05:25 PM: Those who are hypocrites and those who abuse their power are pigs. This guy is obviously a pig. Bud appears to be one as well. Just look at his comment: "if you want to get together in person let me know and say it to my face if you want to bash me." He's just looking for a confrontation. Law enforcement personnel with this type of mind set cause as many problems as they prevent.


    Real Joe wrote on July 11, 2008 03:25 PM: Anyone ranting here about how police and C/Os are all bad are idiots, and using the same mindset that makes racism and bigotry and all hatred the hallmark of fools and weak people who can’t cope with their own inadequacies. Its clear there are people who are really criminals, whom we all, universally hate, as they cost the honest 95% of the rest of us huge amounts to take care of. So their random idiotic comments are meaningless. The other possibility is they are just bored people with not enough to do at work today and they thought they’d start a flame. Either way … not really worth the time. This guy perhaps (if proven guilty) is a pig and should not have the job he has. I personally am grateful that there are men and women who are willing to do societies dirty work and take care of the real pigs, the dirty, lazy, low IQ criminals who constantly are trying to tear down and destroy. They are the source of our nations problems, they are what is wrong with America and the world today … again … they are the pigs.


    bacon wrote on July 11, 2008 02:12 PM: Bud's a pig too . . .


    Bud wrote on July 11, 2008 02:02 PM: I worked with him and never liked him, I also had words with him and thought he should have been fired long ago. As to this "Joe" who wants to take time here to bash CO's and make PO's sound so good. For one I started working at a maximum security prison and in the two years there, about five CO's were stabbed, one was in my class. Also PO's don't even make the list for dangerous job's, its more dangerous to be a clerk at a store, construction worker, check the stats and you can see many more people die on other job's than cops. Also I served two enlistments in the Army and four years in Germany and Korea, and take offence to your bashing of CO's. PO's CO's and other people commit crimes, but don't bash CO's, if you want to get together in person let me know and say it to my face if you want to bash me.
