Well it doesn't fit your point of view so I shoulda guessed you'd purposefully reject it.Quote:

I LOVE SPEEDING :rockon::shredder:
I don't reject it, I do however give less value to your opinion because you included the instances that your credentials got you a free pass to form your overall opinion. If a police officer told me every time he /she was pulled over it was a positive experience I would give thier opinion zero value. Make sense?Quote:

Ah, you have tipped your hand there. Figures; whenever people have things to say about police, the cops and ex-cops show up to tell us we should shut up and be happy with whatever we get. Thin blue line and all that.Quote:

Like I said, it doesn't fit your opinion so you choose to misconstrue what I said that's fine but I'm done hitting my head against a wall. You've exhibited your distaste for public service enough that I should have known better.Quote:

Its not like you to try to discredit others by putting words in their mouths.
He and I are not criticizing firefighters/emt's. We simply stated that as part of the mass RMV permitted "professional courtesy" group, your views will be skewed and/or from a different viewpoint.
Thank you.Quote:

He has done more than enough ignorant criticizing of firefighters in the past to make my statement accurate annnnnd Police fall under public safety. I find it ridiculous that you guys think I came out of the womb a veteran and a firefighter or that in every interaction I've had with police they know that I was or was not. My viewpoint is from my interaction with police over my entire teenage and adult life which at different times I have been in a different group whether known to the cop or not. In retrospect, my experience is even greater than yours because I have had interactions as a member of different groups including yours. You guys have the suspect opinion because it is garnered with nothing but prejudice like "cops are cunts". So before the interaction even begins they have lost the I'm not a cunt battle. I have dealt with good and bad and take every interaction as it is, a separate interaction with a different person. This is even more ridiculous that it has to come from me. And if you knew me you'd know my opinion of the cop mentality.Quote:

Now im excited for 112, 153, 108, 125, 152, 155, 121... the list goes on :lol:
There was a thread awhile ago where you,once again, ignorantly bashed the FD for sending more trucks to runs to create overtime. Which is impossible in how the system works. You have a view that will not be changed no matter what. Ignoring or willfully misunderstanding the information is purely a way to not have to see other views. Your quote is no explanation and further shows that you choose to not understand it. You throw out years of my experiences before and after (when a cop has no knowledge of affiliation) because it doesn't fit your prejudice. It's just silly and I'm done dancing in circles with ya'lls ignorance.Quote:

Why dont ambulances go faster?
I mean, I see them on the highway with lights and sirens and I pass them and im only doing 10 over. If I was in the back of that ambulance id want to see some effort to get me there before I die.
Same with fire trucks, if your dept gets called to a 4 alarm fire, it would he nice if those trucks could get there before the fire was put out
That's a good question. Especially sense cops go speeding past my house all the time. Whats the difference? weight aside.
The only time I ever rode in an ambulance it was not life-threatening and the EMTs told me that in that situation they must obey the speed limit. Since they had a patient aboard, they also had to have the lights on. They did not use the siren.Quote:

We were headed for lunch I think, and we took the twistiest road in town, the steep one behind the mall. It has a wooden bridge. We were hauling ass for the conditions and when we touched the wood the weight of the rig was still transferring outta the last corner. We were instantly sideways and accelerating towards pavement. I thought we would surely highside the +-10,000 pound vehicle, or else hit the guardrail. Neither happened. The cowboy had done this many times apparently and he guided that rig perfectly between the rails never letting the big diesel come off boost!
Speed limit? Ha!! That's funny.
I don't question the duty, but the title "public servants". Full time Cops/FFs/Etc are duly compensated with a fat pension. Hardly servants.
Vollie FFs at $10.50 per hour...THOSE guys are public servants.
with that theory in mind, so are the legislators that just passed the 100mph go to jail bill here in NHQuote:

Closest I can get is the diesel Chevy box truck I drove for a couple years at a company I used to work at. Even when empty, the weight was still a bit intimidating (especially in the snow).Quote:
