Manly ? No here's what REALLY takes balls....

Pull a guy over on his way home from fishing, for no reason whatsoever, ask for his license and insurance card and go run him for warrants (none), Then tell him he crossed the line twice when you know darn well he didn't, ask him if he's had anything to drink tonite and before he can even get the words "no sir" out of his mouth tell to step out of the truck and stand at the front of the patrol car while you pilfer through his belongings and spill his soda on the seats of his well kept Silverado as you try to figure out the latch on the center console....Then tell him you "thought you might have gotten a whiff of marijuana", apologize (in a smartass way) for the inconvienience and tell him to have a nice evening.

THAT MY FRIEND...TAKES BALLS ! and it has nothing whatsoever to do with "being a man".

In my eyes there are two kinds of law dogs. The ones that act like what I just described....And the ones that dont BUT YET turn a blind eye towards their buddys that do, thereby not honoring the oath they took. So yes I have some degree of respect-deficit for the men behind badges. Sorry

This is exactly why I can't stand cops. I think it is an ugly job because they are paid to be ugly.

I have never had my dignity stepped on by a Park Ranger or Conservation officer........they know the meaning of public service.

I have a few friends that are a Cops and the problem is the crap they deal with on a day to day basis almost forces there hand at times. You just never know who you are dealing with.

Their job is to put the bad guys away so the rest of us can live in peace. They have a bad day and someone (maybe them) is dead. Most peoples bad day doesn't even compare. When you think you are being targeted unfairly stop for a minute and think what the situation looks like to the police who have likely seen the same situation many times over with some BS excuse by the guilty party.
