Trapper would have been head gestapo in another life. Proudly.

Not a good Christian. Just a Christian.

In your defense you spent a lot of years doing something I wouldn’t do. But you’re jaded and your view of the general pop is we’re all guilty criminals with 0 rights and no public official has ever done wrong. Hopefully a few more years of retirement you can get some balanced again.

But as of now you’re still a Jack boot.

Interesting.

Godwin's law still relevant today.

Just a reminder this thread started with a report of an officer admitting to going onto a landowner's property and taking his game camera without his permission. The focus was on the officer's actions and not he himself. The best forums are those where people stay focused on events rather than individuals. Anything else is just a needless distraction.

For instance, I can’t remember having any issues with Trappers comments.

Can you say a bit "over zealous" and no, this isn't being applied to Trapper.

If you can find where trapper has ever once faulted a public official be it police to tax appraisers I’ll agree.

I’ll wait right here.

That's a big jump from, "Trapper would have been head gestapo in another life. Proudly." Quite a leap.

I got under Trapper's skin once, but that's okay. We weren't diametrically opposed, but significantly different. He's the only guy who has ever disagreed with me on this forum. I realized different experiences make people, well, different. Different is far from being bad and in no way are gestapo coments appropriate in my eyes. In fact, I would call that a low blow.

Gonna have to disagree with you there.

Arrr...

"are two."

Gonna have to disagree with you there.

Well I went on sabbatical from this thread but found myself back here today reading the comments.

For those here who think GW's and LEO's are out to get them ...... I will offer this advice one more time.

Go find a GW or LEO and ask to ride out with them - I have done ride outs with my LEO son multiple times and I dare you to do so and then report back here as to what you experienced on your ride out. It will totally make you appreciate these folks so much more.

What most of us envision what their lives are like are not even close to what really goes on in the real world. They deal daily with what is mostly the scum of our society - Many of their interactions are with good, law abiding citizens but believe me they also deal with some of the worst of the worst. Imagine pulling over a car in the middle of the night with 4-5 passengers in it and having no idea who you are dealing with and you are by yourself.

When they suit up for work everyday they know there is a chance they could not come back home to their family because of the danger they deal with every day.

So again - for those of you here who feel like you have been mistreated by a GW or LEO go ride out (it is easy to do) -

Would be interesting to know what part you disagree with. Or maybe you are way ahead of me and just couldn’t wait to be the second one…

I’ve never been mistreated by a gw. Gotten a few tickets from them too. One I drank coffee with before and after said ticket.

I don’t think they’re all out to get me.

I do not advocate shooting trespassers would be a great way to end up in jail or dead by a better shot.

Doesn’t mean I’m okay with GW climbing fences and confiscating private property in a secretive manner. Sorry I’m just not okay with that and I’ll Never be okay with it. Period

I’ve heard my whole life gws can just waltz into any property they want and do as they wish. The constitution says something different.
