Barfy's thread for 'getting it off your chest' v2.0

[SpeedTrip]

You know who I feel sorry for, the poor fukn beat cops who were just doing their fukn jobs. You know the job that people always seem to complain about them not doing.
Chasing crime. The crime of people breaking into the average Joe’s safe haven of a home (when was the last time you had your personal, intimate, and everything you hold dear to you violated?)
Now those who in the the line of their government and tax paying citizens have to be on the end of an internal investigation and face numerous enquiries about chasing a bunch of potential criminals, without actually catching up with them.
Who in their right mind would actually want to be a policeman these days?

Power tripping meathead losers who like to throw their weight around and skinny slimey lil fucks who want ya to "respect my authority "?

[chew]

Fuckin hell... Pussy fucks getting more butthurt than a 10yo choirboy
All this over some little abo who's name we've all forgot

I imagine it had more to do with some grumpy bugger hurling personal abuse at others.

Personally I enjoy the repartee and it reminds me of how many ignoramuses there are out there.

I find it really interesting that in a week we had five in one family found dead from domestic violence and at least one other instance of the same crime the focus is on "Lets kill thieves", with a particular focus on their ethnicity.

Sort of points to societies problems in my humble opinion.

A good mate of mine who is neither of those joined the police in the 90s, he would have been a great cop (old school) wasn't averse to doing skidz and won a couple of State Sports Car Championships at Wanneroo. He only lasted about 6 months (He has a problem with authority... whoops) but in the process got a head job while on overnight duty at Government house from the lady policeman doing the McDonalds rounds

"one other instance of the same crime " I is extremely confused by this sentence

Kudos to the copper that jumped in the river and saved one of the perps.

Bloody lefty tree hugging do gooder.

[GsxInShed]

you know there comes a time when the 'authorities' aren't able to label a mass murder as a 'result of domestic violence...'

Killing is killing.....it's not right or brave or on the spur of the moment...it's murder.

Flip the coin.. die in a pursued stolen vehicle......death..maybe by choice or misadventure it is permanent unforgiving and ruthless.

Claiming to 'have never done this before' ...' always such a good...' is bullshit...justifying death and creating a legacy of lies is human nature to avert the pain of loss.

Creating hero status on people who's lives have been extinguished is a social media virus that has no cure and little hope of reversal.

Where was the intervention ? the sliding door..? It really doesn't have to end like this.. it doesn't need to end this way.

And now we have a granny killer.....WTAF..?

It's disturbing that critically thinking about a situation from a number of perspectives rather than going balls-deep into reactionary populism with a smattering of casual racism gets labelled as derogative "SJW". I mean, it's not even an argument about altruism or some BS "virtue signalling" (as opposed to the currently popular "douche signalling") but simple productive pragmatism with a modicum of basic human decency. As for the thread shut-down... WTF? I thought a constructive discussion was about to blossom from the nasty mess.

"one other instance of the same crime " I is extremely confused by this sentence

Eerr, domestic violence leading to a fatal conclusion - that is, another woman murdered by a partner/boyfriend/spouse - far more deadly than brown strangers.

[AZAZL]

SJW needs to shrug off the adjectives smug and condescending to allow discourse.

The bloody trailer cam! Should it really be parked in the middle of nowhere?

All this over some provocateur-wannabe so balls deep in his own shtick that he doesn't even notice the part where a mod takes the time to drop into the thread and write: "this thread is NSFW but forum rules still apply. Don't be a twat"

Call me paranoid, but that sounded like a warning.

Who in their right mind would actually want to be a policeman these days?

Truthfully, it's a job I frequently considered over the years and I would enjoy it to a point, but then after a while spending time only pursuing the degenerates of the world, you would start to loath people. Instead, I work(ed) with teens who are often needing to be reminded what it means to earn respect and give respect, and that immediately branding someone a "cunt until proven otherwise" is such a god damn toxic attitude, yet it's held by most, if not all of them. Then you get the odd article in the news about a teacher who had to physically restrain a student to stop them beating someone else half to death, and THEY get investigated for man-handling "poor innocent Timmy". Fuck society's god damn attitude in general. Human nature seems like it is to be an absolute cunt while expecting everyone to suck the shit out of their ass. That's my opinion based upon the THOUSANDS of people I have met throughout my career as a teacher. Not some poorly informed opinion based upon yesterdays media coverage of "those fucking self-entitled millennials". I've had a teen in each arm as fucking riots ensued around me and other teens saw it as opportunity to start smashing ME as well as THEM in the face. I've had to throw teens off other teens because they couldn't go 5 minutes without calling the black kid a "nigger" or "cunt" or accusing the white kid of being a "pussy" or some dumb shit that has no place in their fucking mouth. I feel sorry for 6 year olds who actually know what a "like" is and get excited when they see a mobile phone. Who is giving a fuck about actual life these days and actually being respectable in order to receive respect? Good ol' fucking values, whatever they were. When was the last time someone did you wrong and you thought to yourself "fuck he must be having a bad day..." instead of "what a cunt, now I'll be a cunt to someone in return". Ya'll on your fucking high horses but you're raising those kids. At least if you haven't already, that's what they can look forward too. Those cunts right now are the leaders of tomorrow. Tell me there's hope and I'll struggle to believe you. Girls with "feminin penises" and guys with tits what the fuck.

[Deborah]

Yeah, bloody kids of today.

Doing things different in a world that's different because of things we did.

My career as a teacher has aged me more than anything else. It's no surprise to me that there is such a high turn-over of teachers in the first few years. You have to be really resilient and invested or it might just brutalise you.

This is the part where I stop and do the Hunger Games District 13 salute to all the fellow teachers out there.


Thankfully, I believe the work I do is purposeful and highly rewarding at times. I have found most of our teens to be reasonable, compassionate, and - on the whole - way more socially aware than previous generations. Each year I modify a little of what I do and how I do it based on little gleams of insight I got from a past student. It's a privilege to learn from them. But yeah, it's no cake-walk, that's for damn sure.

Not arguing with you INTJ or discrediting your lived experience, just putting another perspective out there.

And this is why we are all meant to die eventually - so the next generation can get on with new ideas without a bunch of cavemen holding them back

I am getting very pissed of with the ad about speeding, cameras, police cars and the bloody rest of the bull dust.
Focus on the people on phones, running red lights, tail gating.

+100 I mean apart from the bullshit that there are actually MORE cops out on the streets which I reckon is total bullshit the fact that IF there are all they give a shit about is people doing a few kmh over the speed limit How about getting more cops out on the beat catching REAL CRIMS not just raising revenue
