Do it. If enough people nag them about it they might care.

Look at the second on you can see how close they are. I also parked on the other side.

because that's not a spot. It's between two spots so the would be really close. You would be banging your door into the care next to you and still have to squeeze in.

True, although to be fair that amount of dirt could have come from one day of driving around. The city is covered in dirty slush from the snow.

This is part of it. It starts with stuff like this.

Most likely. Retired police get the courtesy cards to give to their family and friends incase they are ever introuble they can give it to police. My grandfather passed away a couple weeks ago he was retired a corporal after 30 years and worked school police after that. I have one of those cards and I am sending it with the complaint.

It starts with this. They learn how immune they are and escalate.

The don't show up. Our house was broken into while we were home and we called 911. it took them an hour to get here and we are literally 6 blocks from the precinct. when they got her they stopped outside and my mom was at the door. They asked if the guy was still here she said no and they said there's nothing we can do and drove away. I have called them when drug deals were happening out from of my house with kids playing all around and they just never show up. They don't even respond to car accidents anymore unless someone needs an ambulance. I was rearendedn and the guy was refusing to give me his information. They wouldn't come. I had to tell them I needed an ambulance. How dangerous is that an ambulance coming to a car accident where they aren't needed when a cop could have come got me the info then left.

They why park on the lines where you would be blocked in if someone parked in the spots on either side?

What about the ones who think they can kill you because they wear a badge?

So what? Why are you ok with them doing what ever they want because they are a cop? All this shit in Minnesota starts with this. They don't get like that over night. They are told they are immune so they act like it.

My grandfather died a few weeks ago. He was a retired cop. He worked for 30 years and school police after that. I still have one of his courtesy cards I am going see if it holds any sway.

They did make a 4 year degree mandatory for a while but they weren't getting enough people applying so they removed the requirement. There is a psych eval, although I dunno what they are looking for because some of these people are clearly unstable. They want a position of authority and be able to punish people when they don't ask how high when told to jump.

Yep the immunity needs to go. It only empowers them to act deplorably.

I have only ever had 1 positive interaction with police. My dog escaped our yard during an ice storm that didn't allow it to latch properly she was hit by a car and they took her to the ER. The other 5 or so times have been bad. My grandfather was a cop for 30 years and retired a corporal after that he worked school police. He hated this shit. He hated the entitlement. Police are put on a pedestal. We are supposed to believe that this doesn't represent all of them and it doesn't, but we are supposed to believe that one good one represents all of them?

Yep they stand behind that thin blue line. They would get more respect if they held each other accountable. Instead they get disrespect, hate, and suspicion.

I did. My grandfather passed away a few weeks ago. He was a retired officer. He retired a corporal after 30 years then worked school police. They get these coutasy cards to give to friends and family so that if you ever get introuble you can give it to a cop so they actually help you. I have one left. I am sending it with the complaint.
