Sorry--meant to also welcome DS to the forum.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Thanks for the welcome, I lurked "in the shadows" for quite a few months and I am sure there are many other officers lurking. When I saw that my views and opinions were pretty much the same as the majority of the members on this forum is when I decided to join.

Welcome, DeputySheriff. I was very sorry to see this head off into a ******* match from the start, but glad to see you've hung in here long enough for the dust to settle. 
Just remember that there are all kinds here, and some have a few rough edges remaining.
Hope you will visit the other parts of the forum as well. Lots of good folks here and too many topics to even begin to keep up with. Don't be shy about starting discussions, however. Some of us look for that sort of thing and we can have some good talks if we all keep a civil tongue in our fingers... or something like that. Metaphors are more difficult on line. LOL
Oh, and BTW, I'm an old lady out west - in rural Wyoming - and I carry an XD .45 openly all the time. We don't much tolerate anybody but "peace officers" around here. I know several of them well.

Welcome.
Jeesh. These kids don't know how to act around guests... :lol: Sorry.
I am a big fan of LEO. My LE guys here in Kennewick do a great job and have never messed with me for OC. They look and drive on. They have more important things to do. Lots of drug gangs in the area that needs stomping.
I wish there was a stomping smiley... Now THAT would be cool. :banana:

Welcome DeputySheriff. Hopefully Mr. Ron will honor his promise to stay gone.
I hope you won't let his comments fool you; you've seen the reactions of the members here to you. We are unappreciative of any troll, whether they wear a badge or not.If you really want to get an impression of RonManci, simply check out the forum he mentioned. I believe it speaks for itself.
However, that is irrelevant. Again, welcome! I believe you will provide valuable input here at OCDO and receive the same!

I post on 4 or 5 forums. To be a "troll" as it's called, would be a real waste of time to me. But what do I know?

WELCOME !!!!!
We need a LOT more officers to come over to the "light side".
Don't be afraid to say what area you are in.
You might find new friends to share common interests with.
Sorry you think some here are "cop bashers".
But I can sympathize with them sometimes.
I happen to be able to confirm that there are some real "winners" wearing a badge.
But I'm just a dispatcher, so what do I know..... LOL <---- (yes, that's a joke cause I "DO" know and it's sad sometimes.)
Anyway, just realize that we all aren't jaded like some here may be, and your "brothers" in other areas of the country are sometimes VERY different than down here.
And I happen to also KNOW that 80%+ of LEO's in MS are the best people you could possibly ask for, doing a sometimes thankless job, for very little money.
Thanks for all you DO !!!

I know exactly what you mean, I call them "supercops". They are the ones that tase 80yo women or beat the crap out of shackled inmates etc, etc. It only takes one to make the whole department look like a bunch of green toothed inbred rednecks that are wearing badges and looking for fights.
I despise supercops and refuse to associate with them, my department has a couple but fortunately they have no rank or direct dealings with the public, I hope they never do and I will do everything in my power to keep it that way.
If any LEO reads this and says their department doesn't have any supercops, then you are either one of them, naive, or your department is extremely lucky.
There are also people that hate cops - All cops, their reasons, if there are any, vary. This is why everyone I deal with, even if you are being as courteous to me as I am to you, I never let my guard down and I have a plan to defend myself at all times.
There are more chances of things escalating when a supercop meets someone who hates cops. That is why if you feel your rights were violated, do not try to "fight" or "educate" the cop on the street as this could cause you to go straight to jail or, straight to the hospital then to jail afterwards or even worse, straight to the coroners office. Do it by making formal complaints or by our court system.

"Supercops" are custom made for 18 USC 242. Plenty of room in Federal Prisons. And more and more are ending up there. No immunity in Federal Court. None. And filing a 42 USC 1983 at the same time means he won't have to worry about keeping up his house payments in prison. You'll own it. Good post.
