Son of a Bitch!
Yeah, I’ve decided to bitch today. It probably has nothing to do with writing, although it has given me an idea for a new story. BTW, if this happens to offend you, first of all it’s my opinion and my opinion alone. Second, if you are offended by my opinion, then you are one of the people I’m bitching about and you need to go crawl in a hole somewhere and rot till the good lord takes you away.
If you read the Blog on my site last week www.deborahgould.com You’ll know I’m not to fond of the Florida police right now. They pulled over my son and his friend for speeding, 40 in a 20. Read the Blog. They had two sheriffs and two detectives, searched my car and the boys and threatened to take my son’s friend to jail because they could recognize a NY driver’s license.
That being said, yesterday I was reading a news report on Yahoo from my daughter’s hometown in Florida. Two Sherriff Deputy’s had been gunned down over the weekend while trying to arrest a man for domestic abuse.
Now I could go off on all kinds of different tangents from this report. Domestic Abuse, the fact that the person they were trying to arrest was a Guard member and the report seemed to slant it’s opinion that military members are dangerous, the fact that only two deputy’s w
ere sent to pick up the guy at a gun range and a whole bunch of other stuff that just pisses me off.
But what REALLY got me extremely fucking mad were the comments made about the article from yahoo members. Here are a few:
f*****’ PIGS! Yeah, good on the brave, NG hero who gave his life up in order to rid two more swine called Keystone Cops from the US!…
Every time I hear of some–oink, oink!–pigs dying while on the job, it just brings tears of joy to my face…
Shame it was only 2. Good job pig killers keep it up.
This guy is a hero and a martyr for killing these stupid pigs. This has been a nice trend lately, people standing up like this, hopefully it continues. RIP to the gunmen. Rot in hell to the pigs.
Are you fucking kidding me???? Now I’m not some naïve country hick. I do realize that police corruption occurs. But I have to believe it is the exception, not the rule. These men and women put on their uniforms everyday for the main purpose to protect and serve the citizens of their home town. Any day, any hour, any minute could be their last. All in the name of upholding the law.
We as writers either romanticize the boys in blue or make them as bad guys. But that’s fiction people. FICTION. I also do not wear rose colored glasses. I DO realize there are a ton of ignorant assholes out there that believe unless you are a white Het. Male you’re pretty much worthless. But they are also the ones having secret meetings,
hiding out in the woods, planning to take over the government and kill every innocent man woman and child that doesn’t choose to believe what they believe. The ones that beat those that are weaker than themselves, gay bash and blow up federal buildings.
Fucking cowards is what they are. These people making those comments disgust me. It’s easy to make those comments while they hide behind some made up name and spew their diseased view points.
I guess my rant has gone on long enough. I refuse to allow these people to infect my day with the cancer they spread. I believe what comes around goes around and eventually all get what is due them. To wish someone dead because of their occupation, race, religion, political views or sexual orientation is depraved. It makes my heart sad that such ignorance still occurs in this day and age.
And DAMMIT! God Bless America. Where even ignorant, communist idiots like the ones making those comments have the right to believe what they want.

*clapping* As the wife of a cop, let me just thank you. Cops are real people…no different then you and I. They have good days and bad days. There are good cops and bad cops. Just like any other profession. And they can’t win. Pull their gun and they are yelled at for daring to try and keep themselves and others safe. Not draw their gun, someone gets hurt or worse, and they are blamed for that. It’s really easy to say, sitting comfortably in your easy chair or couch, that they should have done this or should have done that. “I would have handled it different”
The fact is that these men and women have to make life and death decisions in a split second. Mistakes are going to be made because they are human beings not robots! They are there to try and keep us safe. Most aren’t looking to ‘get’ you. They just want to do their job to the best of their ability and go home to their families.
Sorry, guess this hit a nerve. Great post, Debbie!

I’m right there with you & Maurya. My dad was a cop after he got out of the Navy and everyone who puts on the uniform should be admired and respected. They’re there to help people, and it takes a special level of caring to risk all that they have to protect others. I’ve seen my landlord (also a cop) at kids bike rodeos and the school D.A.R.E. program – it’s not all guns and arrests. One of the local K9 units gave my husband a ride to work when I was out of town b/c the weather was crappy and he felt bad for Todd having to walk in a snowstorm. Some bad eggs – they’re people too bad with good – but mostly they’re decent guys with friends and families and neighbors.

Personally I’d like to see the clowns who make statements like that live in a world without cops or authority. Go ahead, see how long you or anyone has any freedom to speak what you want and voice such venomous garbage. The first person bigger and better armed than you would waste your sorry ass when you made some stupid comment they didn’t agree with. And guess what? There’d be no cops there to save you. Wouldn’t you be glad then?

I’ve had good and bad experiences with cops. Mostly bad, I’m afraid. And I happen to think there are a lot of bad, stupid people in this world. A lot of arrogant people who like to say what they want about others, lie and twist things to make themselves out as some kind of saint at the expense of someone else. People who don’t think there is anything wrong with sending someone to jail for something they didn’t do, making them pay for something they didn’t ruin, or squealing rabid lies across the internet to ruin someone’s career in order to hide their own lies and deficiencies… or worse yet just because they can.
Still, with all of the bad I believe is out there, what those people posted in comments is some of the worst hatred there is in this world. Sure, I hate celery. I get insanely pissy if it’s in my food. But that is not an intolerance that is meant to hurt someone else. What those people posted is obscene. I just cannot fathom what kind of individual would think like that. Then I remember how people can lie to themselves and to others and believe it as gospel. It’s mean and it’s evil.
It makes me very sad that there are so few of us in this world who would never do any of the things I’ve listed in this comment.

Thank you for all the comments. I promise, my next post will be flirty. I had one all set to go until I saw that article.
